Student Success Stories

  • Alicia Southard »

    FORTIS has by far made the biggest impact on my career today. Prior to attending FORTIS I was much undecided where or how to obtain a career. Like most, I knew I wanted to go to college to be successful, but I didn’t know where to begin and I was running out of time.

  • Amanda Muller »

    I am very pleased with the education and knowledge I received in the Dental Assistant program at Fortis College. It helped me gain employment in the field I have wanted to work in since graduating high school.

  • Amy Foschini »

    This was my time to shine and I had to take everything I could from this experience. Every question I asked, and there were a lot, was answered fully. With that extended support I was able to start not only my new career as a Certified Massage Therapist but my new business.

  • Angela Geter »

    I liked the hands-on aspect of the program. The instructors were very helpful and accessible; they were also available for any additional tutoring that I asked for. I also made some friendships with other students that will continue.

  • Angela Robinson »

    Our classroom instructors were great and went beyond duty to make sure we got the education we came to school for and that the subject matter was well understood. Most of them would have extra hours set for students to get extra assistance and one on one instruction time that many of us took full advantage of.

  • April Boyce »

    My mother was a Registered Nurse, but I had never really thought about the medical field. This was until my best friend was 2-3 months in her Medical Assistant program, and one day told me I needed to register, so I did.

  • Augustus Covington »

    The school administration, instructors and my student colleagues were very supportive in helping me through. Now I’ve done with the program, I’m looking forward to a future in the HVAC or related industries.

  • Benita Brown »

    My experience with the Dental Assistant program at FORTIS College was wonderful. The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable and their open-door policy made it a very positive experience.
