The facilitators are independent, dynamic, knowledgeable and adaptable which are essential traits to successfully develop and deliver learning in our environment. We are currently providing training for 400 employees who are completing a 3 year Apprenticeship Program in Micro-Electronics. Recently, we have structured an agreement to continue this partnership with Algonquin College Corporate Training Centre for another 4 years” C. Lewis, APOC

“I approached Algonquin College Corporate Training because I needed resources and assistance in delivering six of our federally mandated courses. From the get go, they demonstrated a high level of client focus and professionalism. They were able to provide state of the art training facilities, easy and customized on-line registration, attendance tracking, bound hand-outs, evaluation forms and reports, but most importantly effective facilitators in both official languages. The Mint has booked 30 sessions with Algonquin; hence all of our staff will be trained. This partnership has been most positive and it continues to be painless. Algonquin College Corporate Training has become my number one resource in regards to training.”
