CATI is an environment full of motivation amongst other things. The course I am doing is called Transportation Operations Specialist (TOS). My instructor, Mr. Mark Yardy is very thorough with his teaching methods. I have had maximum support from him with this programme especially since it’s brand new to me. Mr. Yardy is the type of individual that would go all out of his busy schedule and routine to address any concerns and/or issues anytime needed. It very difficult not to understand what he lectures as his teachings is very clear and interactive with “lay-man” terminologies. This college has an individual responsible for the student services. The students dubbed him as the Principle of the school. His name is Mr. John Kerr. Like myself, a lot of students sees John as a father figure, not only for his age but his kind words of advice is always present. He has portrayed a great deal of moral support in all aspect. Personally I had a medical condition which warranted my absence from the college for a few weeks and all I have got from John is nothing but his support to help me cope with my situation and for which I am ever so grateful. Another instructor at this college happens to be a team-mate of mine at a previous workplace. His name is Mr. Pat Lipscombe. As the trends goes on at CATI, Pat has demonstrated leadership, support and extreme knowledge on the computer courses I have taken in his classroom. Overall my experience at CATI is a very productive and constructive one. I have been fortunate to attend that college and to have such an unforgettable experience. Definitely I will not hesitate to recommend anyone to CATI. - Michael Kowlessar

CATI paved my road to Success.

After being injured in a work-related accident, I received the very good fortune of being referred to the Canadian Automotive Training Institute (CATI). Although getting back in to a school and studying mode seemed a little bit out of the ordinary for me, I was more than pleased to find out it brought back memories of days far gone. The instructors that helped me pave my way to a new and fulfilling career are people I have very fond memories of, and often miss. It is sometimes hard to walk away from people…or I should say friends that have helped you so much, but I couldn’t bring them with so I bring the knowledge that they shared to my workplace everyday.

With a heartfelt thank you and with the greatest of respect I applaud CATI, and all of its instructors.

To Rodney, Jacqui, Dan, and all the staff, I extend my very personal and special thanks. I miss you guys, and wish you smiles, laughs, and success everyday.
