Who we are
We value your opinion and would love to hear all about your experience as a student at Fortis. Sharing your review online can help us make improvements to enhance your learning experiences and those of prospective students.
Before attending Fortis I was honestly just trying to find something to do with my life. I had little dead-end jobs here and there.
My Fortis education has, I would say, built a strong foundation for the career path that I am trying to go in.
No matter what you go through in life if you believe in yourself, if you believe all you have to believe that you can truly do it. I would want people to know that I could do it, they could do it, all they had to do is believe.
I decided to do a Medical Assistant program so that I could get a career program that would get me a good professional future. I was also influenced by my grandmother who trained to be a Medical Assistant and then went on for other education and training and is still in healthcare.
Oh, my kids love it. They love the fact that I am a nurse. The day I graduated they had the biggest smiles on their faces. It was huge accomplishment for us and they knew that our life was going to be different because of it.
