Where do i begin...lol... It was an awesome experience!
I attended SAITstart and was totally blown away. The information, the staff and volunteers were phenomenal. The info sessions were not too long and quite informative. There wre volunteers or staff members at every turn to answer your questions and point you in the right direction. Refreshments were readily available at various locations on the campus.
It was just an amazing experience. Thanks for making this a memorable event!
The Best Place to Learn what do You like to learn and the best place to get the You love.
SAIT respect everyone in respective of your age, gender, political view and religion. It accepts you as a member of her family.. I have gained a lot of experience at SAIT.. I happy to be part of Sait and I shall always be grateful for the opportunity and service SAIT has given me.
Love the school. I am a software developer and now want to study hardware
I will be doing the respiratory therapy program offered by SAIT in Newfoundland! The NL program was taken away from the current students this past year and with a lot of hard work, negotiations, and planning, SAIT has offered to bring their RT program to us students who were left stranded by CNA. They have been SO kind, accommodating and understanding to us NL students and I am so grateful to be a SAIT student!! If you want to feel like an appreciated student I recommend SAIT.
I went to SAIT in 1999 and got my accounting certificate. The instructors were awesome and it was a great program. I also took my power engineering course through SAIT and again I was thoroughly impressed with the program. I would highly recommend SAIT to anyone looking to improve their education.
I like to compare SAIT as a life lesson. Indeed, SAIT has been one the hardest life lesson, I have ever had as international student. However, SAIT has taught me to be stronger and resilient in my everyday day life. SAIT will not train you only for work, but also it will train you to be successful in your everyday life. I have been living this experience on my skin, so thanks SAIT to be hard on me, as I have learned one the most important lesson in my life, which is never give up, but always hang in there and believe in your capabilities as a student, worker and mostly as human being. Ciao!! :)
I have been to other Convocations and this one was by far the most comfortable, the most organized and the most enjoyable. Thanks so much to all who made our daughters graduation such a wonderful experience.
I attended a day baking course with Chef Abi Guha yesterday. It was fun, hands on and very informative. I loved it and will be booking myself on more courses. Definitely reccomend to anyone who wants to learn or improve on their cake baking skills.
Great place to learn!
Counsellor are very accomodating! Does have a very nice facility
Been at SAIT for only a week, but l can tell it's been one of the best experiences of my life. My teachers, my classmates and my course is amazing! I was very nervous going in since l had been out of school for 8 years, but the transition period has been very smooth so far. I love it and l'm very happy that I chose to come here. Would highly recommend this school. I will write another review when my course ends to sum up the whole experience.
It was smooth moving into residence, rooms are great and staff friendly. They made my daughter feel welcome and made the day very welcoming. The only issue we have had this far is the internet is impossible to get onto but have been told it will improve once school starts. Let's hope so or homework could be an issue on the computer.
Starting on Fall 2019, any advice from anyone. Thanks.
I am welder.

They will give you a "play by play" to achieve their A. I. T Grant or bussarie status but past that, (provincial/inter-provincial), you're definitely on your own. Know your basic trade math-() - how's circles work ;We guys/glad love em ;) principles of electricity/laws of physics/gravity/Einstein - more than your dumb t-shirts... Give what you get.. Sait gave me a consistent 4.0 GPA... Usually 10%below term average > provincial.. /I. P... Calculating 30%..still a pass.. Never know though. Hence the frustration/drunken review. Cheers you drunk monkeys rating through a small part of a small cosmos od a shit show existence.. Live, love, laugh... Die happy. :}} p
They don't keep things updated. Their website is false on their Hiring Percent and Student Services suck as they don't keep things up to date or fixed to the point where out of 7 microwaves for how many students, only 3 MAYBE 4 work which in return, causes delays and issues.
SAIT needs to revise their registration system.
I started my program part-time and now am having to jump through hoops just to make sure I am not registered for courses this Fall that I have already taken. Why are we not allowed to receive a registration time and choose our own schedule?
I planned to take my entire program online, as it is possible and the only way I can complete it, but it's been ridiculously convoluted to even get to this point. Even the part-time registration and fee payment system is so backwards for low-income students who require student aid, but that's a completely separate discussion. Having attended Kwantlen Polytechnic University previously, I thought I understood the registration process. I paid my registration deposit on time and was waiting on a registration time ticket, only to find out I was automatically registered for courses I have already taken or am currently taking. Not to mention, all of those courses are on campus, which I cannot do. Now I'm having to meet with my department head JUST to set up a schedule. I can't even talk through Student Services for assistance in this, as they said I had to talk to my department head.
Do you see how ridiculous and unnecessarily time-consuming this is? I'm just about fed up and ready to transfer somewhere else.
So disorganized. I am doing a distance program and was in today to write an exam. Just outside of the testing room was a First Nations drumming event going on. Trying to write this exam that I prepared for two weeks for with this noise was interesting to say the least. Even more interesting is why no one at SAIT contacted me beforehand to let me know about this and whether I would like to reschedule!!!!
Just a rip off school, expensive and they dont place you for any job. You dont use not even 3% from what their useless courses teach you. Just a waiste of time and money. SAIT is a rip off school for stupid students.
