    I chose to attend Fortis College because it provided flexibility with the finances and flexibility with the schedule because I was working part-time, but I really needed something that would help me to be able to do both.

    I decided upon Fortis College after I came across the Dental Assisting program. It was by far one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself, and I loved every minute.

    Fortis College has made a difference in my life and my career by giving me the opportunity to not working on my hands and knees and working until my back breaks every day. Now I can work one stable job, stable hours, off on weekends or pick my hours, and make a nice amount of money.

    My family is very happy. They are very happy with what I have got so far. Not only that I am the only one that is out of my country, living very far away but I got to come to a country which I needed to learn English and I think I have learned that and now I’m dealing with a lot of new terminologies.
