The province provides much of the funding for private colleges through employment training programs and student loans. Judging by his experience, McKay says Everest's main goal was not to provide a quality education, but to sign up as many students as possible and collect on their loans. He said he enrolled at the college partly because the school told him that for the previous three years it had a per cent success rate of students passing the required provincial board exam to become a registered massage therapist.
The single parent says he worked hard and had the third highest mark in his class. But he still failed his board exam after graduation because, he believes, Everest failed to give him a proper education. It's basically a cash grab that thrives on [Ontario student loans]. He says more than half of the 18 students that started out in his program shouldn't have been accepted by the school. They couldn't do the exams. McKay says many incompetent students still made the grade because the school allowed them to retake tests they failed.
Karen Zahoruk recently completed the medical laboratory assistant program. She says two out of the five students in her class didn't deserve to graduate, including one who had an attendance problem. The National Association of Career Colleges says the vast majority of students at private career colleges have glowingly positive experiences. A former instructor in the massage therapy program also has complaints about the school. He taught at Everest College in Windsor from until when, he says, he was dismissed for speaking out about problems with his program.
He alleges that students who failed exams would then get to take makeup tests not provided by him. When asked about the allegations, Corinthian Colleges spokesman Joe Hixson replied in an email, "We stand by the quality of our education and our track record of helping students meet their educational and career goals.
Miller says he tried to give his students a quality education but, for the school in general, "the academics was not the first and foremost concern, none whatsoever. It was a money grab and the province was paying for it. Graduate Zahoruk believes the province should have stepped in this past summer when Everest's owner put many of its schools up for sale , including the Ontario locations.
