Here’s What Discovery Community College Learners Have to Say…

The staff at the college was friendly and helpful, and the course teacher had a lot of experience in the field

I finished the Teaching Assistant course at Discovery Community College (DCC) and I have already landed a job with a private school whose students mainly have autism. The staff at the college was friendly and helpful, and the course teacher had a lot of experience in the field. I was satisfied with course content, and pleased with the number of qualifications I ended up with, such as Red Cross First Aid, Foodsafe, etc, along with the Teaching Assistant certificate. I want to say a big thank you to the college.

My instructors have been really supportive and patient...

I arrived in Canada March of 2019. Since I am a new immigrant, finding a job that suited my capabilities and necessities proved to be a challenge. When I came across an ad for the Health Care Assistant program under Discovery Community College, I jumped the gun right away. I’ve wanted a versatile career that will allow me to touch people’s lives and make a change.

Studying amidst a pandemic has its share of obstacles. DCC had a mixed in-person and online learning that worked perfectly with the curriculum. I liked how I can interact with my cohort and sometimes be independent with it. My instructors have been really supportive and patient with questions that we have, sharing experiences that we can tie into theory and practice.

Now that I am a certified Health Care Assistant, my family and I are at ease knowing that there is a lot of opportunities and growth waiting for me in the community. I have submitted applications and waiting back to hear from employers. I can’t wait to be back in the health industry and put my strengths to use.

...I am more confident...

I came from Lebanon in 2016 and didn’t know where my life was going to take me. I ended up doing house keeping until 2021. A friend of mine who was a graduate from Discovery Community College (DCC) told me about the Personal Support & Community Health Worker course. I never thought that I would be able to attend school and get a certificate, especially because I was concerned about my language barrier. I have never used computers, but I was able learn and was able to graduate. My English has improved , I am more confident, and also just about to get my drivers license.

The great thing is also got hired from my practicum at Delta Living Society, and I still can’t believe that this has happened!

If it wasn’t for all the support from the college I received, this would have never been possible.

If it wasn’t for the Government funding, I would never be able to take this course. Thank you, all the instructors, all the staff of DCC. I am so so grateful for this opportunity.

They thoroughly teach you the software you need to succeed as a dental receptionist such as ClearDent and PowerPractice. They teach the software and all attributes of dental receptionist so well and effective, so you are prepared for your practicum especially through the teaching of the instructor.
