Greystone College

What Greystone College does

Greystone College is a private career college and wholly-owned subsidiary of the ILSC Education Group, delivering Certificate and Diploma programs across seven campuses in Canada (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal) and Australia (Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth). Founded in 2002, the college targets international students on study visas seeking career-focused vocational training in Business, Tech, Digital Marketing, Hospitality, Project Management, Leadership, and TESOL. The institution reports more than 20,000 graduates since inception and was awarded the 2025 Study Travel Star Vocational College Award. Programs are nationally and internationally recognized and, in Australia, regulated by TEQSA under the ESOS Framework.

The college runs on a tuition-based revenue model with three primary streams: program tuition (Certificates and Diplomas), Co-operative Education fees that combine academic study with paid work placements in Canada (and unpaid practicum in Montreal), and the Greystone Pathway Program for English-language preparation delivered through ILSC Language Schools. Delivery uses a blended-learning stack anchored on a Moodle-based LMS, supplemented by the MyGreystone mobile app, Microsoft Office 365, the Safe Exam Browser, and a Bring Your Own Device policy. Go-to-market relies on direct website enrollment (Apply Now, Get a Quote, call center), a global network of approved education agents with a dedicated partner portal, content marketing and Instagram presence, and institutional referrals from ILSC Language Schools. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are issued on request and shown in local currency at approximate exchange rates.
