Granton Institute of Technology is a correspondence learning institution in Canada. It was established in Toronto, Canada in 1934. Granton provides a long list of correspondence courses. The courses are provided using mail delivery.
The increasing competition in learning industry through the internet has affected traditional correspondence schools. Most of these institutes moved toward more modern methods of learning including email, web and multimedia. However some of them did not use these methods and lost their market share as a result.
The school re-branded under the name "Granton Tech" in July 2010 and has now moved all of its learning services online and serves a worldwide community that looks to increase their knowledge to achieve their goals through knowledge-based skills training.
Granton Institute of Technology is no longer in business. The former director appointed a Receiver in Bankruptcy on or about June 15, 2010. Granton Tech was the only secured creditor and as the secured creditor seized all of the assets of the former organization, including the course materials, contracts and exams. Granton Tech abandoned the former organization and claims to have been working with various parties to recover their lost capital investment.
Granton Tech does not support former students in any way, nor recognize prior achievements. Granton Tech's website states that it is incorporated according to the laws of Hong Kong.
