As I conclude my time as a PTA student, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the journey that brought me here and the invaluable experiences I've gained studying in this field has been both fulfilling and challenging, providing me with countless opportunities for both growth, professionally and personally. One of the most impactful influences in my studies has been my teacher, and his guidance and dedication to the field of PTA left a lasting impression on me. From day one the instructor not only taught me the foundational skills required to succeed but also instilled in me a deep passion for patient care. His ability to combine clinical knowledge with a genuine sense of compassion for each patient is something I've always strive to emulate in my studies. Though I am moving on to new opportunities, I will always carry the lessons, skills, and memories I've gained during this time. I am incredibly grateful for my teacher's mentorship and for the colleagues and patients who have been part of my journey. As I take the next steps in my career, I remain committed and continuing the work that my teacher inspired in me, to provide the highest standards of care, compassion, and dedication to all those I serve. I recommend Windsor Career College to all those who want to change their career.

I decided to explore new opportunities when I came here to Canada, primarily to challenge myself and continue growing in my career. Windsor Career College helped me to achieve one of my dreams during my time studying here. I learned and enjoyed the Pharmacy Assistant program, the teachers are very kind, helpful, and easy to approach. I developed my skills in the career that I chose. I got my placement at Rexdale Pharmasave, I was able to apply these skills that I learned from school and what surprised me is I still have two more weeks to complete my placement, and the manager already spoke to me with interest in hiring me right away. Currently, I am working at Costco Pharmacy, one of the biggest companies in Canada. I am so grateful that I made the right decision in getting the right course. I have referred two of my friends to Windsor Career College, I know they will grow and develop their skills in the chosen programs and career with the help of the teachers. Thank you, Windsor Career College, for the great opportunity.
