The staff, instructors and students made this experience so much fun. I feel like I am well prepared for future work and life opportunities. Thank-you everyone at Gateway

At first I was sceptical when enrolling at Gateway College because I wasn’t sure if I was making the right decision. But after I finished the HCA course and started sending resumes out, I felt that I did make the right decision because there are lots of jobs out there which require care aides. This career choice is hard but I have my plans of pursuing LPN someday so Gateway College is a great help for helping me see what it’s like to be in this career. I love my school and I love my experience and I love my stay and my college!

For me I am very satisfied with all the instructors and staff and the education that I have gained here in Gateway College. Thank a lot to all of the staff of Gateway and also to all the instructors that we’ve met in Class 211A. I learnt a lot!

Enrolling in Gateway College was a very challenging and meaningful experience. In everyday discussions, the whole class enjoyed what we are learning and helping one another to deepen our learning. Practicum time is the real world of our theories being taught. Learning should be put into practice so as to really understand the nature and scope of being residential care attendants.

​We had a great time at Gateway College, everybody was so friendly. The instructors, office staff and teachers were all great. We had fun and we learned a lot!

Gateway College is perfect for those who are working full-time and those who are in the live-in caregiver program. Thank-you Gateway College for all your support. I enjoyed how during my stay all the staff and instructors are friendly, encouraging and approachable. They answer all your questions regarding the program you are studying in. Thank-you Gateway College!

Gateway College is such a high standard institution, if it’s ands or buts’. Whatever you deserve is what is given to you. So we have to strive and study hard in order to pass the course. Our class is great, it seems like everyone is getting along, even the teachers and instructors. The staff are very good and very kind and special thanks to Admission representative! Thank-you so much Gateway College, I am now looking for a better future!

Since 2009 I knew of Gateway form the newspaper. I thought this college has care aide experience of teaching over 20 years. It must be very good. So I decided to come here to learn. The staff are very nice who told me a lot of messages about care aides. The teachers are also nice. My English is not good. Sometimes I can’t explain very well, but they still listen carefully and try their best to help me. For practicum I also enjoy it. The instructor and staff taught me a lot. So I think that choosing Gateway College is the best, I am very lucky!

Gateway College was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The school helped us and taught us what we are supposed to learn in the school as well as in the outside world and facilities. I thank everyone at Gateway for all the support and advice they gave and shared with us.

Every Saturday, starting last January 16th 2010, I travelled a long distance to attend Gateway. I live in Parksville, British Columbia on Vancouver Island and it took me 16hrs to travel back and forth but it was definitely worth it. The teachers are intelligent, patient and very knowledgeable regarding what they taught us. I would like to say “Thank-you” to the Gateway College staff and management for the success I have discovered since graduating. Last but not least I would like to thank my professors.

As a student at Gateway College, I greatly enjoyed my learning experience. The staff is very accommodating and I enjoyed every day, hour and minute of my course. Even though the course was only once a week, it was very fruitful because I was able to pass my exams and practicum, and go on to graduate. The instructors were great. Thanks to their kind and helping hands, we were able to achieve great success in our learning experience.

My overall experience at Gateway College was very enjoyable. The instructors were well informed and the class size was just right. My initial reason for choosing Gateway College was cost related, but I soon found out that my instructor was well worth the money. I would definitely recommend Gateway College to any friend or family for their schooling needs.

The HCA course I took at Gateway College made a big impact on my life. After I finished the course, I found that a big change happened in me. After graduation, many opportunities came along and I finally found the best position for me. Gateway College helped me build a stable career and a good foundation in life. Everything I’ve learned from the staff, administration and fellow students helped me stand up and be confident in what I’ve learned. As a graduate I recommend Gateway College to anyone who wishes to have a better future.

I have recently finished my HCA course at Gateway College, where I have met many classmates who were so nice and friendly. I had a really great time studying at Gateway. During my course, I learned a lot about the Health Care field. I’m so proud to have had my instructor. She is so intelligent and always works hard in teaching her students. I think all of my classmates benefited from her instruction. Thank you to Gateway College and to all the staff.

I was enrolled at Gateway College from December 2008, taking the HCA program. I chose Gateway College with good reason. I feel they have a good standard of teaching and that the staff is highly efficient in imparting knowledge to their students. The number of students in a class is just enough for everyone to be able to effectively interact with their instructor. For these reasons, I highly recommend Gateway College to anyone who wishes to study to be an RCA.

It took a lot of convincing for me to take the HCA program. It’s really hard to work full-time, have a family and go to school at the same time. But it’s very rewarding when your family, your husband, your classmates and your teacher are very supportive. I have learned how to multitask and how to manage my time, as well as exercised discipline and determination in finishing my course. I am grateful and very glad that I made this huge life decision. Thanks to Gateway College staff and instructors who taught us everything that we need to know for our new chosen careers.

Studying at Gateway College was a win-win gamble for me. Not only did I win by choosing a school well-equipped to educate future medical professionals, but also for giving me that very important first step in attaining my goal of pursuing my nursing career. With warm and friendly administration and highly competent teaching staff, it’s no wonder Gateway has been the choice for many for the past 23 years.

My time at Gateway College was very memorable. Time seemed to go so quickly, that my six month course felt like it only lasted one month. Our teacher was very friendly and approachable. She was the best. I learned so much here that I now find myself ready to find a job.  Should I ever have a chance to study again, I will choose this school. I miss everything about Gateway College.

Gateway College was a valuable experience for me. I made a lot of friends there and we had an awesome instructor who was well trained and gave us her 110%. Wherever I go I will take this memorable experience with me. Thank you Gateway!

Gateway College is a perfect match for those who are willing to learn or study as a Care-Aide.  I worked as a Live-In-Caregiver and couldn't afford to study full-time, so I was glad that the college offers Saturday classes and the tuition is affordable.  I am grateful to the staff and our instructors for their support!  I finished the course near the start of the month, and just two weeks later I started work full time at a facility.  Now I am working as a Care-Aide and getting double the pay of my previous work!

I really enjoyed studying medical terminology. Our teacher gave us lots of information and the class was not just about studying alone. Medical terminology became very interesting. I visited a private hospital on a field trip with the instructor, and it was very nice and clean. I have had a good experience during my time at Gateway. I finished my medical terminology class today and I am excited to continue forward with my best efforts. Everything is going very good for me.

Thank you so much!

I really enjoy being one of the alumni of one of the greatest schools here in Canada. The administration and faculty are very good and kind. I am proud to be a graduate of Gateway College because I now take pride in caring for the sick, injured and the elderly. Thank you to everyone, for I am now on the next level!

Gateway College gave me an unforgettable experience. I really look forward to getting the opportunity to apply everything that I have learned. I chose Gateway because it offers quality courses for part-time students like myself. The instructors were masters of their subjects, and I gained much insight into the theoretical aspects of my profession, as well as valuable practical experience. Classes with my lively colleagues were well-organized and instructive. I will try my best to be a successful graduate of Gateway College and aim to help and care for my patients in the best way possible.

I was a student in the 6 month HCA course at Gateway. The College was very helpful, and gave the students good services. The staff and instructors were very helpful, kind, and nice. They understand problems and give good suggestion for solutions. The classroom environment is also very friendly. During my six months at Gateway, it became like a home to me. I really enjoyed my time there!

Gateway College is a perfect school for students like myself, that work Monday to Friday and wish to study part-time. I was very happy to learn that Gateway offered weekend courses, allowing me to continue working at my current job. The location of Gateway College is good because it is so convenient and accessible to Transit, as well as many restaurants that students can eat at during their lunch breaks. The College is also well-equipped with new equipment, enabling students to learn quickly and efficiently, as well as acquire a variety of practical skills and aspects of education that are not solely based from textbooks.
The instructors at Gateway have rich educational backgrounds, as well as a wide variety of experiences to share with students, enabling motivational and relatable learning.  The staff members are also very accommodating to students' inquiries and suggestions, making students feel comfortable and welcome. An aspect about Gateway that I really found useful was the fact that the school assists graduates in creating suitable resumes, and supplies facility and job opening information to ensure that students are able to obtain desirable jobs upon graduation.
The graduation ceremony that Gateway holds for their graduate students is also very exciting! I enjoyed my experience at Gateway, and have actually recommended about five of my friends to enroll, and some of them have already graduated!

At first I was not sure if I was going to enrol in the Care Aide course because people encouraged me not to, and said that it was a really tough job. I also had no friends that were taking the course, and it's difficult to embark on tasks like this alone. I was also concerned that my brain was a little rusty from being out of school for so long. But despite all of this, one of Gateway's admissions counsellors convinced me to push through to my goals, so I did. Now I am already going through my new job orientation at the facility that I did my practicum in. Thank You Gateway College!

My experience at Gateway College was one of the most rewarding in my life. I chose to study at Gateway because of its good reputation and flexible course schedule. The instructors were friendly, inspiring, knowledgeable, and well prepared. The classes were informative, stimulating, and interactive. The staff handled questions and problems professionally and efficiently. The courses are good with the right balance between theory and practice. I greatly appreciate the knowledgeable skills you have given me, and will endeavour to put them to good practice.  Thanks Gateway!

I can't imagine what my life would be like if I didn't take the HCA course at Gateway College. Everything that I have now, it all started the day that I thought of enrolling in this school. Gateway really helped me in getting all I wanted in life. The school helped me more that I can ever imagine. I am really thankful for all the things that they have shared with me – the knowledge, the experiences, and the chance of meeting people that inspired me. My instructor and all the staff were wonderful. Thanks Gateway.

I am very appreciative towards my clinical instructor for the last few weeks before practicum. Also, lots of thanks to the instructor for being very sincere during our practicum.

In my six months studying at Gateway, I really enjoyed being with the staff and instructors because they were very nice. I learned many things from them. The instructors were very patient in teaching those who are slow learners. I would recommend Gateway to anyone.

What I liked the best was the way the instructors taught us. It was quite easy to understand the information through hand-outs, overheads, and videos. Every module was well-organized. I learned a lot in the short 6 months that I was in school. The staff were very nice and helpful. Keep up the good work. God bless.

The instructors and the staff were great! They see to it that your needs are well-attended. Each and every one is cooperative. For sure, I will recommend this school and program to my friends

Fantastic Instructors, helpful staff, and enjoyable course content. I chose Gateway for the compact duration of the course.

Thanks Gateway!

I would consider Gateway College the best school for me because of the availability to study part time. This aspect suited me well because I work during the weekdays. I took the HCA course every Saturday for six months, and can't believe that I am already finished, and got a job as soon as I graduated. I would recommend Gateway College to those that are working because of the availability of Saturday and Sunday classes, and a friend of mine has already enrolled to start classes in June. Thanks Gateway!

I had a wonderful time at Gateway College! Our teacher is so knowledgeable and very thorough with every lesson we had. She even shared a lot of experiences that's relevant to us and especially with our caring for seniors.

I attended Gateway College as a part-time student. This is a good school for someone who is working and wanting to upgrade their skills. I enjoyed the classes and the instructor's teaching and learned a lot.

My overall experience at Gateway has been very good. I was in the full-time class and the classes were very interesting because of our very knowledgeable and intelligent instructor and the very supportive staff at the college. Our clinical instructor was also incredibly supportive; she's great and so easy to get along with. I learned a lot through the lectures and readily applied the knowledge I gained to the practicum.

Thank you, Gateway College.

GC is a very friendly school for working people who want a change in career like me. I finished the part-time program while I was working as a live-in caregiver. I enjoyed it and it made me a successful care aide and gave me a better future. I am now working as a full-time care aide in Kelowna. I have 2 full-time jobs at two facilities. GC will change your life for a better future.

My experience at Gateway College was very nice and wonderful. My instructor was very good at what she does, and we all learned a lot from her. Not only that, Gateway College in terms of tuition is less expensive than other schools. It is affordable for everybody, especially if you are a low income earner.

Thank you everyone.

I am Zhen (Ricky). I recently completed studies at Gateway College. During the five months of studies, the college helped me out a lot. My instructor taught me everything to do with being a great Care Aide by providing the skills and experience I would need in my new job. I really felt like Gateway College was my home. I was very happy with them. 

Currently I am working for Community Home Support, making a starting wage of $18 per hour. I love my new job. Gateway gave me a lovely career and has changed my life.

Thanks a lot. It was a great experience.

Enrolling of Gateway College was the right decision I made to begin my long journey to fulfill my dream. Taking HCA, was my stepping stone to becoming who I would want to be in the future.

My experiences within this journey opened up a brighter future for me. I am thankful and grateful to all staff of Gateway College for all their support and encouragements. They were very helpful.

Gateway College has a friendly atmosphere. Our instructors are very experienced and qualified to teach the program. All of Gateway faculty and staff are very approachable to talk too. I had a lot fun especially in our CPR Class.

To have all the help of the students is a great asset. They all come with an open mind and heart and are willing to help in any ways possible. We all benefit from all the help the students offer, and most importantly the Residents love and appreciate all the care and company. As long as the students come ready and willing to learn, they will always be welcome at any facility. I am sure of that.

Thank you, Gateway College Students.
