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.

I learned more here than just technical training. I got some life skills. They helped me write resumes and just showed me how to also just run a business so they teach the fundamentals with that as well.

My education here at Fortis has set me up to succeed. It set me up to first of all to pass my NCLEX, which without that you can’t be a nurse and to be a nurse for me has been remarkable. I feel an amount of confidence that I’ve never felt before, a set of purpose.

I think it was blessed for me to be at Fortis for some reason. We drove past several times, we went to several different schools and Fortis just had that home feeling when I came in, I liked the environment.

I gave in my graduation speech that FEAR stands for face everything and rise and even at 30 and two kids and being out of school for almost ten years I was still able to go back and I didn’t feel that I had lost that much time, I was able to get back into the groove of it and if you put your mind to something you can achieve it no matter what obstacles stand in front of you.
