Multiple programs: Preparation for Cisco & Linux Certification; Network Administration & Support program; preparation for Microsoft; Web Authoring
I want to share with you some of the positive and meaningful experiences I was treated to while studying at Dawson College. I completed four programs, namely the Web Authoring Program, Microsoft Server 2003 and Novell, Cisco and Linux, as well as the Server 2008 and Exchange programs at Dawson College. Not only has the education I received a Dawson helped me to train in technologies critical to my career path, it has also been instrumental in facilitating me to create, sustain and grow 2 businesses with 6 employees. The instructors at Dawson, clearly demonstrate knowledge and experience in the fields that they teach. The pace of the learning progresses in such a way that makes the study materials fresh and exciting, thereby motivating the class participants to go further in the course material and reach at higher levels of learning. The instructors more than impart upon the students the skills that are necessary to succeed and thrive in this challenging industry today, they also teach the students how to maintain and progress with their skill sets in an independent manner so that they can also be prepared to acquire new skills necessary as technology progresses. The caliber of students that Dawson attracts is also very high and I not only continue to have relationships with a pool of colleagues from which I can call upon to help support me in my work, but I have also fostered close and meaningful friendships with quite a number of students that I met at Dawson, relationships that are running strong for 10 years and over.
