I have been studying the Administrative Professional program at Campbell College for the past two months, and my experience so far has been very positive. The program is well-structured and focused on practical skills that are highly relevant in today’s workplace. What makes this program especially meaningful for me is how well it aligns with my professional background. I currently work as a Health Care Aide at the University of Alberta Hospital, and I also have previous experience as a Personal Assistant/Secretary to a Managing Director in Saudi Arabia. In these roles, I developed strong skills in communication, organization, scheduling, documentation, and supporting both clients and professionals in fast-paced environments. My healthcare experience in Canada, Australia, and Saudi Arabia—including roles in patient care, rehabilitation, and dementia support—has strengthened my attention to detail, ability to multitask, and professionalism. These are the same skills that are continuously reinforced in the program, making it easy for me to connect my real-world experience with what I am learning in class. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and approachable, and they create a positive learning environment that encourages confidence and growth. The training is practical and helps prepare students for real administrative responsibilities. Overall, I would highly recommend Campbell College to anyone looking to build or enhance their administrative skills. It is especially a great choice for individuals with healthcare or customer service backgrounds who are transitioning into administrative roles.

My experience at Campbell College as an Administrative Professional student has been incredibly positive and transformative. Coming from a strong background in healthcare and customer service, I wanted a program that would help me expand my skills, strengthen my administrative abilities, and prepare me for a professional office environment. Campbell College delivered exactly that. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in student success. They take the time to explain concepts clearly and provide real world examples that make learning practical and engaging. Their support helped me build confidence in areas such as Microsoft Office, documentation, communication, and organizational procedures skills that align perfectly with my strengths in accuracy, attention to detail, and multitasking. The program is well‑structured and hands‑on. I appreciated how each module connected directly to workplace expectations, from professional communication to office technology and administrative procedures. The learning environment is welcoming, diverse, and supportive, making it easy to stay motivated and focused. What stood out most is how Campbell College prepares students not just academically, but professionally. As someone with experience in patient care, charting, and customer service, I found the program helped me translate those strengths into administrative competencies. I highly recommend Campbell College to anyone looking to start or advance their career in administration. The training is practical, the staff is encouraging, and the overall experience has been empowering. I feel well‑prepared and excited for the opportunities ahead.

After spending valuable time raising my children, I decided to restart my career and enrolled in the Business Administration program at Campbell College, building on my previous administrative experience from back home. I was especially excited to learn that the program included a practicum, as it provided real-world experience and ultimately became the gateway to securing my current job. I am sincerely thankful to Prof. Maysam and Prof. Mark for arranging my practicum placement and allowing me to gain hands-on workplace experience. Professor Susan’s computer applications course equipped me with practical skills that I now apply daily, and Dr. Shakunth greatly boosted my confidence in communication and interview preparation. The continuous support from the faculty helped me transition smoothly from student to professional, and I am truly grateful to Campbell College for the wonderful opportunity that helped launch my career.

Before starting at Campbell College, my goal was to transition my 15 years of experience in supply chain management—gained entirely in a French‑speaking environment—into an English professional context. I wanted to convert my existing knowledge and skills into English so I could expand my career opportunities here in Canada. My experience at Campbell College helped me achieve exactly that. The hands‑on training, supportive instructors, and real‑world projects strengthened my confidence and prepared me to work effectively in an English‑speaking workplace. This program truly helped me bridge the gap between my past experience and my future career goals. Thank you again for the opportunity and for everything the college has done to support my growth.
