Student
Testimonials
Throughout the last couple of years we have gathered
student testimonials from a number of students here at CTS Canadian
Career College
. The following are just a few of the
many testimonials that we have received:
"I attended the CTS College Primary Care Paramedic program offered
at the Sudbury Campus. Although the program was VERY difficult
I found it rewarding and take great pride in my completion of
the program. The instructor staff worked very hard to develop
a program that not only meets ministry standards but also thoroughly
prepares its graduates for the rigors, trials and tribulations
of being a Paramedic. I have since secured a full time position
as a Paramedic in my local area and feel that CTS prepared me
not only in the theory and skill portion of the job, but the need
to be able to withstand long hours in adverse conditions which
are required of a Paramedic. My hat is off to CTS College, the
administration staff, and most importantly the PCP students and
Instructors".

EMS
"I attended the CTS College Primary Care Paramedic program offered
at the Sudbury Campus. Although the program was challenging, I
found it very rewarding and take great pride in my completion
of this program. The instructor staff worked very diligently to
develop a program that not only meets and exceeds the ministry
standards but also thoroughly prepares its graduates for all aspects
of being a Professional Paramedic. I have since secured a position
as a Paramedic in my local area and feel that CTS prepared me
not only in the theory and skill portion of the job, but the need
to be able to withstand long hours in adverse conditions which
are required of a Paramedic. My sincere thanks to CTS College,
the administration staff, and most importantly the dedication
of the PCP students and Instructors".
Alison St.Michel, Paramedic, Sudbury
Manitoulin District Social Services Board
"The decision to return to school at the age of 32 to enroll
in the Primary Care Paramedic Program was a difficult one for
me to make, however the entire staff of CTS college helped make
the transition an easy one and I knew right away that I had made
the right choice in schools. Everyone went that extra mile not
only for me but also for my peers and it's something that we always
appreciate and will never forget. Starting with the office staff
which include Barb, Brenda, Tina and Lorna who always took the
time to answer any questions we had and to help us out with any
personal issues and to even go at far as to make personal phone
calls for us if we were too busy with our studies. The skills
instructors, Scott, Angele and Brenda all have an excellent knowledge
base as educators, with road experience, and life experience all
of whom are well respected medics in the Sudbury EMS service.
They worked tirelessly to help us perfect our skills and proper
use of equipment, and were always available day or night via phone,
email or in person, never having an issue with taking away from
their personal time to answer any questions. Tim, the lead science
instructor, has a strong knowledge base of pharmacology, anatomy
and physiology and in my opinion is unmatched in these areas and
like every instructor at CTS Tim also took the extra time to answer
questions or to meet with us before or after class to go over
any topic that may be giving us problems. The entire staff, from
the Communications instructor Lee who helped me put together a
solid resume, to all the skills instructors and science instructors
who even would go as far as call us at home before a big exam
just to see how we are doing, to the office staff, they all helped
me prepare and in the end be successful in writing the AEMCA exam
and becoming a certified paramedic. I think it would very difficult
for a student to get this much attention from a larger classroom
size and that's why I feel CTS was the right choice for myself."
Jim Urquhart, Paramedic, Platinum Patient Transfer
Service
"I was recommended by a former student to apply to CTS College
for their Paramedic program. Roger Buchanen opened doors that
other colleges would not by providing opportunities based on my
desire not just how I looked on paper. The staff recognized my
hesitance in the short time-line for the spring entry and encouraged
me to reapply when I was ready. The transition to the fall program
was where I needed to be. Roger and the staff guided and monitored
my pre-school process to make sure I was ready to put forth a
100% effort. My ducks were finally in a row. Feel free to join
me at my graduation next year. This is my time. Thanks to the
entire staff at CTS!"
Steve MacCallum, Paramedic Program
"I really enjoyed the learning experience at CTS College. I was
very worried at the beginning because it had been a long time
since I was in school. The staff is very helpful and encouraging
at all times. My instructors are very knowledgeable in their subjects
and have prepared me for the job I will get. The text books will
be a great reference tool for me in the future. The placement
program is something everyone should try; it really showed me
that I could accomplish what I had set out to do. It was a pleasure."
Gloria Richer, Office Administrator
"I attended CTS College, enrolled in the Medical Office Administration
Program. I am pleased to say that I am currently employed with
the Sudbury Regional Hospital thanks to the great instructors
and courses offered within the College. I would strongly recommend
CTS College to anyone who is looking at post-secondary education.
Working in the medical field brings great pleasure, knowing that
you are making a difference in helping out others. It is a rewarding
program, and one that will open up several more doors in the future."
Joe Lamothe, Admitting Department, Sudbury
Regional Hospital
"I graduated from the CTS Office Administrator Program with honors
and found the staff at the school to be more than willing to help
you every step of the way. The program gave me all the knowledge
I needed to succeed in an office setting today. With the small
class sizes and wonderful teaching staff I felt like a person
not a number like most other college institutions. I got
a full time job in no time and would recommend CTS to anyone thinking
of returning to school. By the way, work at Phoenix is awesome!
I love it and can't thank you enough for setting me up with the
interview!"
Lisa Masales, Administrative Assistant, Phoenix
Industrial Services, Val Caron
"The day I walked through the doors of CTS College in Barrie
, I released how fortunate I was to be able to do something I
thought never to do again in my life. I was here to upgrade my
education by entering the Medical Office Administration course.
Another matter of great pride to me is that I am attending the
same college as my daughter who is taking the Addiction and Intervention
Counseling program. I have great respect for the teachers and
staff at the college as they are knowledgeable and very helpful.
My sincere thanks to A.J., Kelly, Diane, and Attila who provided
excellent training and are all great assets to the college. My
experiences at CTS have taught me that you should always be open
to new learning experiences and the diploma that I will walk out
the door with will be a great asset towards my chosen career path.
Thanks again to CTS."
Debra Webb, Medical Office Administrator
"After leaving my job of twenty-years in January 2006, I discovered
that it was time to re-evaluate my career and my goals. Even though
I had a lot of skills, I discovered very quickly that I was lacking
some of the knowledge that employers are now asking for, so I
quickly decided to research the schools in the Barrie area. I
chose CTS Canadian Career College because I liked the curriculum
and also because of the professionalism shown by all the staff.
I enrolled in the Medical Office Administration program and I
feel this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My teachers
are all very knowledgeable and they are all very passionate about
what they teach. Their enthusiasm is somehow contagious. All of
the staff has been wonderful and helpful. I have also made many
close friends during the few months that I have been here and
I know they will remain lifelong friends. I have now almost completed
the program and I know I will be ready to take on a challenging
position upon completion of the program. Thank you so much for
all that you have done for me."
Nancy Liddell, Medical Office Administrator
" Brenda was knowledgeable, compassionate,
understanding, supportive helpful and intuitive. I was offered
hours at Lakeside Treatment Centre after completing my placement
and have also started to work at the Sturgeon Falls Family Treatment
Centre. Can't say enough about the program and instructor."
Suzanne Ellis Addictions Counseling , Lakeside Treatment
Centre, Sudbury
Returning to school, as a mature student was something I was
not prepared for. Changing careers at my age seemed like a daunting
task. After exploring many options it became clear CTS Canadian
Career College would be the only college that could meet my educational
unique needs. Canadian Career College was able to deliver a thorough,
intensive, educational experience while maintaining a friendly
and helpful atmosphere. I feel my time spent at CTS has prepared
me for an exciting new career working in the addictions field.
Jeff Graham, Addictions Intervention Counseling
"As a single mother, one of the hardest decisions of my
life was to go back to school. The staff at CTS College not only
made this easier for me, but they helped me to find funding as
well. I have always had an interest in law and within a month
of graduation I was working full time in a law office as a legal
assistant. The Paralegal/ Law Clerk course prepared me for the
work force and the legal field. My life has definitely changed
for the better. Thanks to Mona, Barb, Brenda and Yvonne for making
the year fly by."
Stacie Forrest Corporate Legal Assistant, Conroy,
Trebb, Scott, Hurtubise
" I never thought going back to school could be fun. CTS
College has made my learning experience enjoyable; I have never
met a friendlier, fun group of instructors in my life. I learned
a lot in one year and I don't just mean education wise, it was
a whole life experience. CTS have one of the most knowledgeable
staff on hand and the administration is second to none. I would
not change my experience for anything. CTS was an excellent spring
board for jump starting my career. Frank gives it 5 stars."
Frank Verilli, Paralegal, Paquette, Renzini &
Huneault, LLP
"Having moved back to the Sudbury area after living in Ottawa
for a few years, I found it difficult to secure viable employment
without specific training in a particular field. After extensive
researching of employment areas, I decided to enroll in the Pharmacy
Technician program at CTS College. This is a decision I will never
regret! Not only was the program everything I had hoped for, I
also started working the Monday after finishing the program. I
cannot say enough about the administrative and instructional staff
at CTS. Thanks for your support and dedication to your students."
Cindy Calabakas , Pharmacy
Technician, John Ellis IDA Pharmacy
" I really enjoyed the hands-on learning
we had and the teachers were very helpful and supportive. It was
nice that they all had so many years of experience in the field.
I was elated to have been offered employment at the pharmacy I
did my placement at. The program prepared me to meet the rigorous
demands of a busy pharmacy!"
Alana Strom, Pharmacy Technician, Plaza 69 Pharmacy
"I've always enjoyed the pharmacy field, and CTS enriched
me and helped me to develop my skills through hands on operations
within the pharmacy at the college. Since training, it has encouraged
me tremendously through my field of work. The instructors
were knowledgeable and used their practical skills to teach new
and useful techniques to prepare us for a career. The class
size added to a comfortable learning experience. The programs
curriculum has definitely helped me in my day to day work as a
pharmacy technician."
Erin Radelja, Pharmacy Technician, Walmart
Pharmacy/Timmins General Hospital Pharmacy
"The Police Foundations program at CTS College prepared me not
only for my future career in policing, but also in my everyday
experiences. It helped me better understand my choices as well
as the world in which we live. This program helped on an educational
level when entering the field of Policing and Security and, I
continue to learn from the theory and practical exercises I experienced
in the Police Foundations program.
Nothing can fully prepare you for the types of incidents or persons
you will come across in policing or the Security field, but this
program gives you a heads up and the hands-on experience that
you can't find anywhere else. The Police Foundations program at
CTS was continuously evolving which always made it interesting.
Taking this program was the best thing I ever experienced and
applied in my life!"
Darren McKibbon, Canadian
Air Transport Security Authority Officer Sudbury

"My name is Pedro Yoo and I have been employed with Ontario Provincial
Police since 2002.
I am a graduate of the Police Foundations Program at the CTS
Canadian Career College , North Bay Campus. I had all the
support that I needed to achieve my goal to be a police officer
from instructors and other staff members. My instructors
were not only teaching me but also motivating me. They were
my mentors and they still are. My special thanks to all
the instructors and staff members of CTS Canadian Career College
."
Pedro Yoo ( # 11131 ), Provincial Constable, Ontario
Provincial Police
My decision to return to school after 10 years was one I will
never regret. I enrolled at CTS Canada Career College in the Personal
Support Worker program. There, I met the most knowledgeable instructors.
Not only were they thorough with all subjects pertaining to my
program but they also prepared me for an easy transition into
the workforce. The day after I finished my placement I found myself
going to many interviews. I found employment in my field with
the week. I cannot stress enough how all staff members at CTS
went above and beyond the call of duty to assure all students
meet or exceed the ministry standards. I want to thank all of
you as you made my learning experience one that I will never forget.
Angeva Fournier, Personal Support Worker, St. Joseph's
Villa
"As a PSW student, I was very excited to apply the knowledge
I had acquired in the classroom instruction portion of the program
towards my upcoming placement. Although I had obtained excellent
grades, I was surprised that once on placement, my confidence
level in applying the skills and knowledge was not high. Patti
Burke, our instructor, was instrumental in getting me through
the practical portion of the program. When I felt I was giving
up on myself, Patti never gave up on me. She gave me the strength
to succeed as a PSW and her confidence in me never failed. I am
proud to say that I graduated the Personal Support Worker program
with honours. I am forever grateful to Patti and the college for
believing in me!"
Laura Cooper, Certified Personal Support Worker,
In-Home Care, North Bay
"I enjoyed meeting new friends, attacking new challenges
and using my brain in a way that I haven't in 15 years! Carlos
was knowledgeable and supportive, you should clone him!"
Georges Denomme, Computer Systems Engineer, MCSE,

"The staff and faculty were friendly, informative and used
a wide variety of learning platforms. I like that they brought
their own experiences into the classroom."
Chris Morgan, Computer Systems Engineer, MCSE, A+
, Rainbow District Board of Education
"I really appreciated the amount of knowledge and experience
the instructor had. He was easy to approach with questions even
outside of the scope of the program".
