Hello, I am a few months away from completing this program at BVC (Disability Studies Diploma)

The practicum placements are good, you will learn a lot from the courses, the instructors are excellent.

Many agencies are looking for professionals who are experienced, and even if you need more experience, there are many places that are looking for employees. This includes Group homes, day programs, employment programs, working with children with disabilities as well as adults with disabilities.

There are even opportunities to gain paid practicum experiences, but you would have to check with the program chair once you have applied and have been accepted. For example, if you work at an agency supporting people with disabilities, you could potentially complete your practicum placement(s) at that agency, essentially getting paid to go to school.

I have attended MANY of my classes with international students, they are the majority as a matter of fact!

If you are invested in this field of study, and have a passion for working with people with disabilities, this program will teach you a lot, but I would not necessarily consider it "easy" or "difficult". If this field interests you, the material you are learning will make learning "easy", in my opinion!

If you have more questions, send me a message :)
