Student Success and Testimonials

“The reason I chose my program is that it not only allows developers to learn how the design works, but also it helps designers to learn a lot from scratch on how to build an actual application. Another reason was that it didn’t require any technical skills in any specific software.”

Algonquin College was my second home. I got a job in the construction lab since I started the program and later as a program assistant, making me part of the team the whole time. Both roles, student and mentor, allowed me to see its deeper professionalism and dedication of the staff.
