Think many times before enrolling in this NIWE Academy and pay or have a loan of $16,500.00. Compare other schools that are more respectful and visit multiple schools; you will recognize the differences and avoid my mistakes of not being careful.

Here is my advice if you decide to attend this school:

1. Do a comprehensive search and use extreme caution. During enrollment, "Sponsored" advertisements appear above NNIWE Academy on Google, Facebook, and other social media platforms. Those ads will disappear as soon as the course starts. Though they are part of marketing, they are misleading and may influence your right decision.

2. Take your time and visit as many schools as possible, and don’t be overwhelmed by smiles, welcome, and fun, as that is temporary. Also, take caution when you hear advertising language such as “clinical aesthetic, " “medical products,” etc.

3. If you enrolled, never write a review as they will push you on the second day to write a good review. I was lucky not to do so, otherwise, I will regret that.

4. Be aware of the “practical quota.” You will be responsible for collecting clients and promoting that there is a discount, and your clients will pay for your learning. If you are sincere, that is too difficult because the service is expensive, and the school will not pay for the service for your learning and get an advantage over your clients.

5. NEVER tolerate disrespect. You will notice one instructor disputes and disseminates gossip, which may stress you out. Please don't be scared; she acts like this to show she controls the NIWE. She will do anything, even change your grades!!! Academic dishonesty!!!

6. There were no clinical aesthetics instructors for over 1/4 of our course (and the previous course). Because attendance is mandatory, they told us to do the assignments (from pre-recorded lectures and DO THE LAUNDRY if we wanted to leave. Let your group ask for compensation immediately for missed days if more than a week.

7. Finally, revise your answers and grades, as we have so many mistakes that the academic advisor promised to correct but still needs to fix. Remember that the management will never be for your help as they only care about growing their business; they never respond to emails or requests.

Wish you good luck.

I attended NIWE academy during the 2019 season from January 7 to November of the same year. I graduated with a diploma in Hair Dressing Technician, whilst I was attending they helped me find employment and assisted me many times with certain techniques and skills that were very challenging. I had an extremely amazing experience with the environment and my co-students as well as my instructors who encouraged me to strive for success. Thank you, Cheryl, Sophia and Selena for your efforts in teaching and your support as well as your energetic personality and a special thanks to Sangeeta Sharma, the owner of the academy for encouraging words and your dedication to the students and instructors. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for a diploma in Hairstyling should go to this school as their environment is wonderful to be in. If anyone that I mentioned it recognizes me through my name I just wanted to say I miss you all, thank you. More...

My experience at Niwe academy was amazing. I was greeted at the door with a warm welcome and then I had two students take over. Each of them offering coffee tea or water, making me comfortable as possible. I felt absolutely pampered by having both of them work on me at the same time. They communicated well, which resulted in my greyhairs being covered properly. They were so friendly and professional. Their instructor and I discussed the condition of my hair and she helped put a plan in place for continued treatment (dryness). She made me feel confident getting a haircut and not just a trim!! ♥️ In love with this place and definitely will be back. More...

NIWE Academy is one of the best schools in the city. It has a family atmosphere with the owners freely supporting the staff and students in a way that you will never find in any other school. In here, students have a voice and you can approach anyone from instructors to management and they will give you the time and the effort to give you their best no matter the circumstance.The courses are comprehensive and come highly recommended whether you are taking short courses to add to your repertoire of skills or looking for a change in career in the beauty or massage industry. They will soon offer distance learning and online courses allowing you to come in and focus on your practical skills - skills that you will need in the world, skills that will allow you to succeed.I am super excited about distance learning options. Imagine being able to keep working and learning at your own pace at the comfort of your own home and time and on those times you come to school, you will be trained on what matters.NIWE offers a lot of opportunities and potential. If you want to strike that work-life-school balance...If you want a school that cares for you....If you want to learn in a place that values who you are and what you can become...This is your school!

I've come here on a monthly basis for various laser hair removal sessions and it's awesome. The student tells you about the procedure before and during the service and also let you know how to care for your skin right after. The instructor is usually there to make sure everything is going well. Staff at front desk seem busy but are very friendly. Overall I always have a very pleasant experience. More...

NIWE is a great school of Massage Therapy and Esthetics. With our experience dealing with some of their graduates and students, we have been treated with respect and professionalism. Their students are on time, well mannered and most of all skilled - qualities that are hard to come by when you are looking for people who are needed to do a job.We have been with NIWE on their charity works where they go to hospices where they do service to geriatric clients offering the healing therapy of touch as well as empathy. We have seen them work with troubled youth at the Alex here in Calgary and the feedback with regards to the service and care that their students have is heart warming. It is great to find a school that is willing to reach out to people.If you are an organization looking for volunteers, a cause looking for a partner, a business looking for employees, or a student looking for a school, we would highly recommend NIWE Academy.It is one of the best if not THE best in what it does. And the human element that exists within its staff and students is something special. More...

I started the Massage Therapy program this past January, and so far the experience has been amazing. The school is ran by Sangeeta Sharma, she understands and respects the students schedules and needs. We are all treated like people and greeted with friendly faces each day we arrive. Its so comfortable, it feels like a small family. The school also provides us with the tools we need for success during and after the course. Massage beds, linens, oil, a tablet and all the necessary textbooks are all included with registration. Jesa has a great personality, really friendly and a hands on teacher, she makes sure everyone understands what they are doing before moving forward with clinical. Johnny is a little more relaxed and understands we all learn at different paces and have different needs as students. Dr Syed is in a category of his own, he is passionate and excited about teaching. He has multiple degrees of his own, and makes learning fun and easy for the students. I wish he was teaching my anatomy class, which I am currently struggling with. It is teachers like him who make students confident with learning and ready to take on the world. The classrooms are nicely decorated with resourceful posters and references to further learning. My only recommendations would be, although we have audio visual tools, it would be nice to have a little more going into the second year program, perhaps a 3d muscular skeleton to help with anatomy and a little more practice worksheets. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to change careers. If the school were to start a cupping or acupuncture course I would be the first in line to sign up. This has turned out to be the best decision I've made, and cannot thank the staff enough for everything. More...

I started the clinical aesthetics program in January 2019 and was able to get Dr. Syed as an instructor half way through for theory, and he's amazing. He gives out handouts that I'll be able to use in the future and he thoroughly goes through every chapter. He's been alot of help and cheerfully answers every question I need answered. With his classes and Gayle's way of tying theory to practicum, I feel like I've learned alot. The two teacher assistants, Poonam & Rebecca have also made school alot more fun; I'm learning new things every day having four of them to guide me through this program. Very thankful that I got to learn from this great group of individuals (:

Thank you to NIWE and Sangeeta for having this amazing team.

As a first year massage student I respect all the instructors who have taught me in preparation for second year. One instructor that I would like to give my appreciation to is Dr. Syed. I have never met a teacher who has taught with a fiery passion. On days that feel tiring and stressful, he has never failed to brighten the class with his dedication and fulfilment not only to the class, but to its students. Like all the instructors in this course, NIWE academy is very lucky to have hired great teachers such as Dr.Syed.

Since this course does require a lot of hands on work. I’d feel it be best if the school provided a model of a Skeleton that opens to each muscle. I’d feel it be effective for identifying the difficult muscles and most effective when we have our clinical classes.

This class is decorated with a lot of learning material which makes it somewhat easier to understand the course.

Other than that, Great management by Sangeeta Sharma

I have been REALLY satisfied with my experience at NIWE Academy. I have been receiving therapeutic massages there for about 7 months and have really healed. There are so many good things to say about this school. It is super clean - the floors, the linens, the uniforms, everything is clean, and that's very important.I have worked with many different students and they all follow the same protocol, which indicates to me that the school is emphasizing certain qualities. Primarily and most importantly, respect. Everyone is very respectful and polite. They take a health history, discuss treatment, request permission to proceed and continuously check in to make sure the client is comfortable, that the pressure is the correct level . They make sure you are well draped and warm. Their focus is on your comfort and your healing.Jessa, the main instructor, seems to be everywhere! She is continuously educating ("Try this stance, so you have better range of motion") , clarifying, observing, encouraging.She has a wonderful, positive demeanor. My therapist, Stacie, has really helped me with my chronic neck and hand issues. My range of motion and grip strength have improved, my stiffness has lessened. My pain is gone. She has given me exercise and stretches that have really helped. Her focus is on my health and improvement. That really comes through. Another thing that makes a difference to me, because the focus is on healing and relaxation, there is no excessive chattering. I've really been able to relax, and not had to talk. That's actually really relaxing.I'm thoroughly satisfied with my experience at NIWE. I really have had a very positive experience here. More...
