The Medical Assistant program at Fortis was a great experience. I received all the knowledge and hands on training to succeed as an MA.
My education through Fortis College has made a great difference in my life; it gave me stability, it made me more stable with my income and my time.
The instructors taught me well; I made some good friends I stay in touch with and I enjoyed being at FORTIS; it was just like another family for the time I spent here. I feel great about my achievement and look forward to my career.
