Dina Waik, Career College Consultant
OVERVIEW:
I have gained extensive expertise and knowledge during my 16 years as an inspector with the Career Colleges Branch, Ministry of Colleges and Universities.
I have reviewed hundreds of Career College registration applications and know that the process can often take months longer than necessary due to deficiencies that could have been avoided. In my past role as inspector, I have sat on the other side of the desk and know what the Ministry requires.
As a consultant, I now bring this expertise to clients as I accompany them every step of the way in submitting a complete, high-quality application first time round, ensuring quicker turn-around and savings in time and money.
If you already operate a registered career college, you know the Ministry takes its enforcement duties seriously and maintaining good relations with your regulator is key. Ensuring compliant operations is one of the best business decisions a career college owner can make. I provide customised staff training in compliant career college operations and conduct document/record audits. I provide guidance in dealing with student complaints in constructive and compliant ways, so as to benefit the college and student alike.
I am approved as a Compliance Monitor for the purposes of Conditions of Registration.
