Who we are
我们重视您的意见，并希望听到您作为富通学生的所有经历. Sharing your review online can help us make improvements to enhance your learning experiences and those of prospective students.
I decided to do a Medical Assistant program so that I could get a career program that would get me a good professional future. I was also influenced by my grandmother who trained to be a Medical Assistant and then went on for other education and training and is still in healthcare.
The Medical Assistant program at Fortis was a great experience. I received all the knowledge and hands on training to succeed as an MA.
The education I got has bettered my life. It’s actually increased my pay, helped me get further along in life, being able to take care of bills and help take care of my family.
My Fortis certification made a huge difference in my life now that I am certified because not only is the salary cap released from me, but I also get to travel around. Now that I am certified it is a career.
