The course material gave an excellent foundation and the building blocks for me or anyone who wants to achieve success when you enter the work force. Put what ever got you to CATI's door behind you, your future begins here! David Herrmann, Safety and Compliance Administrator Vitran Express Ltd

My Experience at CATI: "I am writing to tell you what my thoughts and goals where when I started at CATI. CATI made the transition easier going back to school at an advanced age, when you are starting a second career later in life. The two courses that I took where Computer Basics & Business Communications and the Transportation Operation Specialist Program. My first impressions of the computer course was that it was going to be just a basic computer course which would teach you just some basic operation of the computer and how it worked. Then I realized how in depth the course really was where we learned about Word, Excel, E-mail and how to use different types of fonts to help make your letter more professional. The instructor Pat Lipscombe was very professional in what he taught us and from his experiences in the working world, he was able to help us with the problems that would arise during the course and to help us improve our skills. The main course that I took was Transportation Operations Specialist Diploma Program which taught me all aspects of the trucking industry. My 17 years as a truck driver I thought I knew everything about the trucking industry. There where many areas that I thought I knew about, but then I realized that I didn’t know that much. The computer software that I learned was PC Miler, Freight Logix, Fleet Manager Pro and how to successfully put a route together and get a truck from point A to point B. the theory part of the course was very interesting, it taught me all aspects from Load and Securement to Hours of Service to Logbook Auditing and so much more. The instructor Mark Yardy was a very knowledgeable about all the subjects that we covered. His experiences in the trucking industry was a great help to me as I saw that there was more to trucking than what I thought. His patience with us when we would have trouble with either the computer part or the theory part helped me to understand the course a lot better. In closing, I would like to say that CATI met my expectations, I didn’t realize that this school even existed but once my case worker directed me to here I am happy that I chose CATI as the school to further my education. All the people from Bill Wilcox & John Kerr and the instructors made it an enjoyable time and that they where there for the students to help them to get back into the workforce. I would strongly recommend CATI to anyone who was re-entering into the workforce if they have an interest in the transportation industry, as I really enjoyed my time there." Thank you - Allan Jennings
