    I decided to come here to Fortis because I spoke with a couple of other schools and I actually liked the curriculum and the way Fortis was set up. When I was going to school I was working second shift so I was able to go to school in the morning full-time and it worked out fine.

    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.
