What Our Graduates Say

I graduated in just 1 year as a Network Administrator from AOL College. It was such a great experience! AOL College had flexible hours that catered to my needs. I am currently a Network Upgrader for Bell Canada. I will definitely recommend AOL College to any friend, family and people that I meet.

I came to the Academy of Learning Career College because I needed a change in my life and wanted to show my kids that at any age you can go back to school and reinvent a new pathway in life. Not only did I come to school and re-educated myself, I made great friends.
I am proud to say that I am now work for this amazing college and hope like how I was inspired when I joined AOLCC, I will now be able to inspire others.
