It is one the best polytechnic college in the canada. It is really worth to get your studies done from here but sometimes your schedule can get really tight so many students may not like it. It provides deep practical and theoretical knowledge.

As a former student, SAIT provided me with the knowledge and confidence to strongly establish myself in my field. Now, many years later, I am a proud faculty member of this institution. Your experience will be a result of the efforts you will put in, but with hard work and a positive "can do" atti...

I love my school so much! Everything about it is great! I re-did high school here and currently a full time engineering technologist student... the atmosphere on campus is welcoming to everyone, campus is easy to navigate and instructors are excited to teach and help!

How a government subsidized school gets poor reviews from some people is beyond me.

I am incredibly grateful for the experiences I have had at SAIT and thankful to live in a place that offers educational training for a wide variety of people.

I have taken a trade training, continuing education...

Beautiful looking building, the original SAIT. But then you walk inside, and it's all '80's. The inside needs a tasteful renovation.

Everything else was perfectly fine. Nice, friendly staff, very helpful. Clean.

Walking up, and using the main doors is always fun. Very picturesque.

The coronavirus lockdown cut my program short and I also lost a ton of opportunities in the way of shop time and business development.. naturally there wa...

SAIT claims that most of its graduates are guaranteed employment after finishing schooling, that isnt true. SAIT is all about taking your money and offering little to nothing in return. I have a couple of friends who graduated from here years ago and still havent found employment, even though "emplo...

Is this some kind of joke? I need one class to get the Canadian MLT license. You would think in three weeks they'd be able to unlock the course, but no, I just keep getting busy dial tones on the phone (what is this, 1990?) or a robo voice telling me they can't take my call. My emails have gone larg...

When I visited Calgary last year and learned that Paladin was in charge of security at SAIT, I knew they were trouble and that my safety was at risk. I took great care to park elsewhere and I wound up cutting my visit short.

SAIT is a big school but does not support many students. My friend has failed a visa because of an unbelievable reason, his letter of acceptance from SAIT not clear, duplicate study time.

I've gone here for drafting, my electrical apprenticeship, and now I'm doing the EET course part time. I've had successes and failures, and they both reflect well on SAIT. Those times I wasn't focused, I washed out and failed. This shows that SAIT has standards and enforces them. Those times where I...

I don't understand how anyone could give SAIT less than 5 stars. It truly is a world-class facility that aims to provide every student that walks through the door the right tools and skills to be successful in what ever trade they desire. I took the AT program and if it wasn't for the guidance ...

The campus itself does not have any guide posts, other than vague maps which are barely readable. Also, every time I have been to student services, I have encount...

SAIT does not offer courses in both semesters and does not post future semesters until one month before the next semester. This gives st...

Simple transfer request took 13 days, RPL is very unprofessional and it seems that they did not take the time to even investigate if an RPL was deserved. No explanation offered as to why I did not receive a transfer credit with the hope that I would just "go away". Do not have enough negative things...
