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.
My experience with the Dental Assistant program at FORTIS College was wonderful. The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable and their open-door policy made it a very positive experience.
My family has actually shown that they are very proud of me, not because I haven’t done things in the past, but so often they missed out on seeing me accomplish those things, so at graduation I had my uncle there, my cousin there, it was to the point where they couldn’t get in because there wasn’t enough room.
I chose Fortis College because of my teacher. Having that one-on-one interview, she gave me the confidence and the idea of coming here to Fortis College.
With me I was lucky enough and blessed enough to get hired on after my extern and the pay is great to me, I love it. It was well worth going to school the ten months I went to school. To me it was worth it.
Personally my education has enhanced my life as to where I have something productive to do that I enjoy doing.
