The feedback was highly positive on staff and instructors, with particular mention about the wholesomeness of educators and how they go out of their way to create a support system and a student-friendly environment. Most reviewers reported that the students met were friendly and helpful, adding to the sense of community. On the other hand, a couple of reviewers describe the building as old. They, however, note the professional quality of the instruction received and the access to resources. Others specifically pointed out the educational quality in the English as a Second Language (ESL) program and referred it to other students to attain their GED or upgrade other high school courses. The students noted it was a supportive learning experience, especially in the statement about how they were treated as adults and how the teachers wanted them to take ownership of their learning. A significant highlight was tuition, with most resonating how it was affordable than the alternative, providing an opportunity to upgrade. H owever, a reviewer complained about the building. Despite the negative attributes, Chinook Learning at Calgary's Continuing Education was recommended by several students for those who want an affordable and quality learning experience. The school's distance ability to compete in the competitive academic landscape was accredited to the overall rating.
