Testimonials

"I took the Medical Administration course at HBi College in September 2012 and graduated in January 2013. I really enjoyed taking this course. Everything that I learned really made me prepared to start working. The classes were long and hard but definitely worth it. It gave me the experience and knowledge to land myself in the medical field. Three weeks after graduating and going to many interviews, I landed the job I wanted. I have been working for two months at this job and I am very thankful that I took this course.

Everyone at the school was extremely friendly and would do anything to help each and every student to do whatever it took to succeed. The class wasn't too big but we all got along and became friends, which was really like a group of friends getting together.

Overall. there were lots of laughs and a lot of hard work. But I am very glad that I chose this course and this school, because now I have started my career and I'm only going up from here."

"I was a university graduate with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Accounting Specialist and Economics Major) six months before I decided to enrol in the Computerized Accounting Certificate Program at HBi College. In those six months, I realized that college graduates were better prepared to enter the job market and more likely to be hired because of the practical training and experience they received with some of the more popular accounting software packages. As such, I decided to take a college program in order to fill that gap.

Of the various colleges that I researched, HBi College was the only one that offered a program covering just the accounting software applications. As well, whereas most colleges only covered two software packages, HBi offered three (i.e., QuickBooks, Simply Accounting, and ACCPAC). In addition, the Job Search module was really beneficial in providing students with the tools and advice necessary to find a job - everything from creating a résumé to the interview and follow-up process. Overall, due to my time at HBi, I feel much better prepared and certainly more confident about entering and pursuing a career in accounting!"

"After my company moved to Mexico, I needed to figure out what I was going to do with my life. I tried a few small business ideas and even learned how to operate several different types of heavy equipment. I have a strong background in material handling and have always enjoyed the organizational structure of inventory control. I did a lot of research when I decided to go back to school and found the Supply Chain and Inventory Management diploma program at HBi College. It was a perfect match. I started my journey with HBi finding myself extremely fascinated by the accounting classes and the teaching style made the material exciting to learn. The computer components were key tools to the course and my instructor motivated me to complete two extra programs, MS Project and Access.

From the moment I walked through the door everyone made me feel welcome and the staff were all great source for advice, support and encouragement. The next parts of the program were the lectures which covered the Introduction to Materials Management and ACCPAC ERP Inventory Control & Order Entry. The tours of IKEA, the SCM distribution centre and the Toyota plant were definite highlights. This really opened my eyes to the Supply Chain field as a whole and how each part of the chain affects one another. From raw material, through any process, to a finished product and even back to recycling (reverse logistics), every company has inventory that needs to be managed effectively if they expect favourable returns. The program gives you the tools to become successful. It’s up to you to apply them and take charge of your future. My advice would be, when you’re told you can’t do something, prove them wrong and never give up! Obtaining this honours diploma has taken me to the next level and I have recently started a new career as a Jr. Buyer Planner with an Aerospace company. Thank you to everyone at HBi for your guidance."

"I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to HBI College for wonderful educational and personal experience! After being out of school for quite few years and not having any background in Accounting I was not sure what would the outcome be at the end of my Computerized Accounting Program.

I was pleasantly surprised from the day one of my classes. All of the staff and teachers were always ready and happy to help and offer assistance with a big smile and enthusiasm. I always felt very comfortable, almost like the whole campus was like a big happy family. But the biggest part to it was the educational and hands on preparation. The teachers are ready and willing to pass on all the knowledge to their students and with easy to follow instructive books it has given me all the tools, knowledge and confidence to prepare me for any job out there in this area.

Thank you, HBI teachers and staff for giving me this amazing experience and opportunity to grow as a student and professionally. I would definitely recommend HBI College to anyone out there looking for a new career or on upgrading their education."

"I highly recommend HBI College; Everyone is so friendly here, and the staff is very professional. I took the Police Foundations Diploma Program and the instructors here are very knowledgeable and provided me with a lot of insight on every law enforcement career."

"Being in my mid-sixties, where most people think about retirement, I have chosen to go back to school after losing my job as a purchaser last year. Choosing HBI College to pursue a diploma in Supply Chain & Inventory Management was the best decision that I have made so far. The program was intense and challenging for me, but extremely rewarding. I am almost at the end of my SCM program. I really enjoyed every minute spent at HBI College, and for that, I want to thank the team of skilled, knowledgeable and extremely helpful Instructors. Not only did I gain a basic foundation of knowledge in SCM, but I also enlarged the field of opportunities where I can implement and apply my new-found knowledge in real world. Each Instructor has a unique impact on me, like Kulvinder Dhesi, whose patience and ability to transfer her knowledge made it so easy to use computer, or Eirini Ioannidou whose powerful lecturing gave me good understanding of T-account or a Balance sheet. My special thanks go to my SCM teacher, Ninian Prabhu, who believes in student ability and encourages them to follow his/her path to a new career in SCM. His great knowledge and examples from all aspects of topics helped me to gain my confidence back and hopefully to re-enter the workplace soon. I would highly recommend HBI College programs to anyone who wants to develop their professional career, to update their skills, or to re-train for a new technology. HBI College! Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your great and supportive environment where everyone works toward the student’s best interests and success. I wish you all the best in the future and a lot of students."

"I arrived in Canada in March 2011. As a newcomer, I was exploring the job market for openings in my field of experience, which was the Hospitality industry. I soon realized that it was not going to be easy as the employers were looking for Canadian experience. I was not too keen on working survival jobs and wanted to do something that will set me up for a long time. I was drawn towards the concept of Supply Chain Management and began researching the subject. I approached HBI College which was offering a Diploma program in Supply Chain for details. The course was just right for me as it had the right content that would help me get a solid foundation in Supply Chain. The duration of the course also ensured that I am ready for a job within 6 months and possess the same level of knowledge, if not higher, than a student graduating from a regular college. We had an excellent teacher in Ninian, who combined the concepts in the textbook with his own rich experience in the field. This made the subject all the more interesting and brought out the best in us. The other members of the HBI team, too, deserve special mention as they were always there for any kind of help and support. I am grateful to Ninian for all that he has taught me and I look forward to a very good future in Supply Chain. I think that a program such as this can be very useful to newcomers as they try to further their careers in this country. "

"My time here at HBI College has been a great time for me in pursuing the career in Supply Chain and Inventory Management. I researched other institutions and found that the subjects and concepts were more up-to-date compared to the competition. The teacher in the computer concept, Kulvinder was fantastic in regards to upgrading my MS 2007 office skills, and Ninian in the Supply Chain and Inventory Management is more than a teacher, but a genuine mentor with excellent up-to-date supply chain business concepts that I have learned so much in such a short time. I’ve never come across a school that takes so much interest in their students, and all the students worked together as a team with the teacher’s help and guidance. I know I have a great future after I graduate from this program. I’m very grateful to all the staff at HBI College."

"Attending HBI College was a wonderful experience. The teachers and staff were supportive and available for guidance, every step of the way. I am grateful for the opportunity I was given at HBI to gain the confidence and tools to become a successful Dental Administrator. Thanks to the wonderful people at HBI, I am now ready and eager to begin an exciting new career with endless opportunities."

"I would like to thank the staff at HBI College for all of their help and support while I was studying the Dental Reception Administration program. I had wanted to return to school for a very long time, and when I was finally given the opportunity I investigated many schools and the courses they had to offer. Once I met with the staff and had the tour of HBI my decision was made. I was very pleased with the course outline, the warm and welcoming staff and the smaller class sizes. The instructors at HBI work very hard to ensure that all students fully understand the program every step along the way. They were always willing to stay after class if they felt it would be beneficial and were still there for you after you finished their portion of the course. The staff all work together to ensure that you leave the school with the skills and confidence to go out into the work-force to begin your new career choice. I finished my course with honors and I look forward to starting my new career with the confidence in my education to ensure that I am successful in my new career path. Thank you HBI."

"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the time that I spent at HBi College. I took the Supply Chain and Inventory Control Management Program. Kulvinder Dhesi was my instructor for computers. Without her guidance and extreme patience, I don’t think I would have done as well as I did, considering I knew very little about computers and their programs. Kulvinder was always encouraging our class to do our very best. Eirini Ioannidou taught me book-keeping and in the past I could not grasp the concept. With her teaching I was able to find a new way at looking at book-keeping and it all made sense. My instructor for the Supply Chain & Inventory Control Management Diploma Program was Ninian Prabhu. Ninian really understood me and where I was coming from. He got me to really think about my future once this was all done. It is because of him that reaching for “dream” jobs in the past, are now a reality. Anyone who is thinking of going to college, or to up-grade, should really think about coming to HBi College. The staff and instructors made you feel very welcomed, and really take an interest in your future. Not only are they excellent teachers, and have you understand what you learnt, BUT, getting you to know the basic foundation and how to apply it in the real working world. The compressed courses will give you a better edge over your competition in getting that career, as they are still in classes learning what you already know. So once again, Thank-You HBi College for all that you have done for me. I now have two head-hunters competing for me, and with my newly gained knowledge they can place me in so many different fields of employment for a new and exciting career. My future is looking fantastic."

"I am a recent graduate from HBI College having completed the Administrative Studies Program. This was an intense and challenging course but extremely rewarding. I am sure it will help me acquire a job in this field, especially utilizing the newest computer applications required in today’s Job market. I would highly recommend this college to anyone looking to update, or re-train in order to attain a better opportunity for their future. The teachers are very skilled in their knowledge of the programs and are extremely helpful if you are encountering difficulties. They provide extra lessons or stay behind and encourage you to better understand the courses. Hard work and dedication has enabled me to graduate with honours with the help of HBI College!"

"HBi was a great experience for me. I was on EI and needed to enhance my skills in Supply Chain Management and Inventory Control. I did have experience in this field but lacked Canadian certification. I decided on HBi's Supply Chain and Inventory Management program and I was glad I chose this program. Under Ninian's guidance, I discovered many things about Supply Chain Management that I previously did not know even though I had worked in the field for many years. The class sizes were small and you got one on one time with the Professor. Moreover, the college and the professor also provided career guidance. I landed a job within one month of graduating as a Plant Operation and Warehouse Supervisor. I'd highly recommend HBi for anyone who wants to develop a professional career in Supply Chain Management and Inventory Control."

"My experience at Hbi College in Mississauga was a great one! I was laid off in December of 2008 and started at Hbi College August 2009 taking the Supply Chain and Inventory Management course. My instructor was more then helpful at answering all my questions about the industry, had great knowledge and examples to express all aspects of the textbook, and helped me to gain my confidence back at re-entering the workforce. I graduated on January 29, 2010 and was employed on February 9, 2010. I found that the portfolio you create in this course really helps you to accomplish employment because employers get a good look at what you can do as an individual and what you have learned as well. Overall, I really enjoyed my time spent at HBi College, the staff is kind and helpful and I am excited to use the knowledge I have learned through taking this course."

"Our Vice President -Sales, New Technical Director, and Free Lance Consultant came to visit to observe and meet our team personally. I gave them a tour around the facility and explained how I run/operate the Canadian branch. They were impressed on how I managed the branch as a whole. They said that I am very organized. They asked me about my working background, and I told them that I was a former Territory Sales Manager in AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals in the Philippines, and when I migrated to Canada, I worked at Baxter Corporation as a Global Colleague Project Recall as a Project Coordinator. Then I went back to school (HBI College) and took up Supply Chain and Inventory Management. I was re-hired by Baxter after finishing my Program, but worked in the production so I could apply what I learned at school. The consultant was very impressed. She informed me that originally, her goal was to come and teach me and to improve whatever she felt needed to be done, as well as apply the Lean Management Techniques. However, she said that instead of teaching me, she was the one learning from me! She gained more knowledge and informed me that she will apply what she has learned in Kansas, when she gets back. Management was asking, where I obtained my knowledge. My current position is Administrative and Logistics Coordinator. Mr. Ninian Prabhu, you have been a great mentor to me and I owe you everything that I learned in Supply Chain. I was so blessed to have you as my Professor/Mentor."

"From the time I stepped into HBI College, I knew this was where I wanted to pursue my second career education. The atmosphere was friendly and professional and the class was spacious and lit with daylight. The most important, however, was that all of my instructors were very knowledgeable and approachable. Having attended 3 colleges prior to HBI, I found that my experience at HBI was far better and fitted to my needs than any of my previous placements. And now that I've graduated I can confidently say, that choosing HBI was the best choice I could have made, and if I had to do it over, I wouldn't change anything."

"I am writing in appreciation to you for all of your endeavors to ensure I had the professional coaching and training in the course-Supply Chain and Inventory Management. With the skills I learned under my Instructor- Mr. Ninian Prabhu, I am quite confident that I can work in the area of the supply chain operations that I choose to specialize in. I want to say: Thank you Sir!"

"This October, I graduated from Accounting/Payroll Administration at HBi College. The program was an excellent way for me to gain a solid knowledge of the accounting and payroll principals. I'd like to take this opportunity to say "thank you" to the HBi College staff. I would, and do, recommend HBi courses and programs to anyone who is interested in an affordable, challenging, self pacing, and effective way to learn a new profession. I can't think of a more efficient way to learn."

"Recently I successfully graduated from HBI College and I have completed the Administrative Studies Diploma Program with an Accounting Specialty. It is personal achievement that brings me great satisfaction. I have tremendous enthusiasm and confidence in my approach to my new career opportunities. HBI offers the right ingredients: experienced teachers, small classes, support, and allows every student to challenge themselves. HBi College provides an atmosphere for every student to put their best efforts forward which leads them to success. The future looks great and I thank HBi College for all that they have done for me. I am presently working in the Administrative field which was my goal from the start. Thank you HBi!"

"First of all, I would like to thank you very much for having introduced HBI College to me and helped me to select the course that fits to my background and personal needs. I took the Supply Chain and Inventory Management Program from HBI College from August, 2008 through January 2009. I really enjoyed the courses and as well as the Instructors. It was one of the best decisions I made to take the course because I ended up securing the job I have now, as soon as I graduated. I will start to work at Kravet Canada in Mississauga Ontario as an inventory control clerk next Monday. HBI College has definitely given me the knowledge and practical experience to be able to graduate and attain such a position with a global company. I am happy to have the position with Kravet Canada and I hope to continue to grow there!"

"Not only do I now have the opportunity to learn a new industry with Wheels Group but will have full time hours with FULL benefits from a company that has been consistently voted since 1997 one of ‘’Canada's 50 Best’’ Managed Private Companies AND was inducted into the 50 Best Platinum Club for management excellence AND was the first company in North America to receive a designation for meeting an international standard specific to the industry. I am really excited to be working for an organization that obviously sets high standards which as you know is very important to me. (I was required to complete an assessment profile consisting of approximately 400 questions). This would not have been possible without the guidance of the facilitators at HBI, but more important the confidence they expressed when I doubted myself. This actually was the second resume sent out and my first interview. Not bad for a mature student eh!!!!"

"A week ago, I was promoted as a Warehouse Supervisor. It took me almost a year to get it but I finally made it. My confidence, attitude and inventory knowledge allowed me to overcome some obstacles over the last few months. I have passion and motivation for this industry. Company and the bosses are very happy with my work here. I want to thank you all for what you taught me. It is paying off now! Still a long way to go, but I will make it!"

"I have got an opportunity to work as a Purchasing Analyst. Finally, my dream comes true! I have been trying so hard to utilize my past education and experience, but could not succeed. After completing the Supply Chain Management Program at HBi College and Coop placement, I gained the experience as well as the much needed education. I am starting my new dream job from Monday. I am so proud to acquire this position. I will be using my latest knowledge, and education as well as the experience. Thanks to HBI and thanks to my Instructor, Mr. Ninian Prabhu!"

"I have completed the Administration Diploma and Advanced Accounting at HBI. Teachers at HBI are very knowledgeable and willing to help. The beautiful advantage of small classes, which are compulsory at HBI College, allowed a direct student-teacher contact on a daily basis. It was a great experience and I would recommend HBI to anyone who wants to train for a new career. I am presently working in the accounting field which was my goal from the start. Thank you HBI."

"You will never make a mistake in furthering your education. If you want small classes, a family friendly atmosphere, a caring faculty and staff, you will find it at HBI College. The people here are very supportive and want you to succeed which motivates me to do my best... I felt I got a lot of personal attention. The teachers and staff always remembered me, my name and face were not forgotten once my class was over: Don't look any further "Do it! Go to HBI College."

"HBI College was a wonderful experience that provided me with the necessary skills to start me on the right track in the workplace. The teachers and staff instilled a confidence in me that I never had prior to my participation in this course. Thanks for the wonderful experience, I have reached my goal and was working in my field before my co-op was finished."
