Online learning experience
NAIT is a flexible technical school. They offer programs all year long. You can attend from any term and anywhere. They offer flexible schedules to fit your schedule. NAIT is an excellent choice if you want to attend remotely, in person, or even hybrid. Overall NAIT is an excellent choice, that I would strongly recommend to others.
Could be better
I initially enjoyed NAIT, and found them to be an accepting and understanding environment, but it was quite stressful having so many classes. I also felt that some of my instructors expected so much from me as a student, and often played favorites.
Review
Course quality depends on the teacher. A lot of elements of the education are self-taught
