Student Testimonials
A small class which is not like university is friendly, also evening class is another positive point. My message to future student is: networking is intense; you if you know more and have IT information come here.
At 47, I was working in retail and wanted a change in my life. At 48, with no prior experience, I got a job at a networking company thanks to my AEC from MCIT. I am so thankful for taking the leap which changed my life forever.
I enjoy most about our college because : Environment, they have organized classes, everybody has their own computers. The courses are practical, atmosphere is contusive for student to study, I had very good relationship with administration and technical dept.
Competent instructors, up-to-date material, and an overall astounding quality of the training plus the equipment and facilities make Montreal College a first-rate training environment.
