School closure strands students; Danjay Training Solutions shut doors suddenly last monthPosted By Susan Gamble
Posted 2 hours agoA 10-year-old local skills training school for adults says it was forced to shut its doors due to new government rules.
Danjay Training Solutions, on Hachborn Road, closed in late October without notifying students, some of whom are stuck with no training certificates or marks for their work at the school.The school offered computer classes that were self-paced, meaning students worked through books at their own speed with an instructor available to assist them."How ironic," said student Gib Love. "I lost my job at GenFast and go to school and it closes."

After reading the article about Danjay, I checked with my school to find out what new rules the government has implemented since Susan Gamble conveniently did't include what they were in her article.
To my understanding, all schools must now post a bond or insurance to access government funding to ensure the students are protected from sudden closures.
Danjay posted a notice for a short time directing students to the ministry site with the portion relating to their supposed difficulty.
It would seem, that the difficulty was in fact the requirement that all private schools meet a certain level of quality and that they must pay for the inspections required on each course offered. The obvious problem was Danjay's reluctance to part with money combined with the fact that the courses offered would not meet with the lowest standards.
All of the course material offered in the robotics course I took turned out to be copied, proprietory material. A representative of one of the institutes involved told me that they had cease and desist letters against the school for giving out copies of this material. Most of the rest are texts that are readily available. At $1000.00 + a week I have to say that the courses offered are not good value for Service Canada to be paying for.
