  Jason Finlayson

  Community Residential Worker, Class of 2014

  "I took the Community Residential Workers course last year. I was older going back to school so you can image how nervous I was. The staff there went out of their way to make the year a great one. They were very helpful. The class size was small, so you got the attention you needed and got to know your classmates and teacher very well. We were all there to support one another.

  Once I finished my 210 hours of practical training at the end of the year, I was hired immediately and I have been working steady ever since. I am really enjoying my work; the decision to go back to school was one of my best decisions. The staff at Island Career Academy is still there for me, when I need them. I would definitely recommend ICA. It is a great school! "

  Community Residential Worker, Graduate

  "I am a proud graduate of Island Career Academy’s CCA program. I was a mature student embarking on a career change and was very apprehensive of everything ahead of me. I am so glad that I chose Island Career Academy. From the moment I received my email of conditional acceptance, everything ahead of me was clear, professional and quality right until our last class. Our instructor was fantastic. Her teaching style made us want to excel and we did. She could hare her real-life experiences as a former CCA and now a Registered Nurse and somehow by doing this, it prepared us for what we could experience out in the real work world. This made the hole experience a lot less scary. The course offered and the overall experience has been very positive and I am very grateful I went to Island Career Academy."

  "After 12 years of working in the long-term care sector I was faced with the difficult decision of making a career change and returning to school.

  Medical Office

  Administration, Class of 2022

  "Making the choice to go back to school wasn’t an easy decision. Being a mom to a toddler I was nervous if I could handle the workload. Filled with anxiety, I enrolled in the Medical Office Administrator program at Island Career Academy. From the very first day I walked in, my worries eased as I interacted with staff who assured me the school/life balance was one thing Island Career Academy strives for. Over the next year, low student to instructor ratios combined with knowledgeable staff, lead to very successful students. The instructors were there for every single person, every step of the way. They wanted to know you as an individual, to give you the best tools to success, rather than just a student. My time at Island Career academy was life changing. I have found my forever career and gained full-time employment upon graduating. IF you are looking to obtain a meaningful career, backed by an enjoyable and excellent curriculum, I would highly suggest Island Career Academy. "
