Testimonials
Here is what our students have to say about us:
- “Literally changed my life, I mean changed my life completely. No other single thing in the last 10 years has done so much for me, than learning the basic computer skills you need to move forward in this world.”
- “My Instructor has changed my life! I’m now in my second year of college doing the early childhood education course and I’m loving it!”
- “I would not have been able to do this without the skills and knowledge I got in the STEP classroom, I am now ready to look for a job in a totally different field of work that I have always wanted to do.”
- “I truly feel blessed to have gained the foundation I needed to successfully complete my post-secondary goals.”
- “There is understanding here that many of us have not experienced in past educational environments. I feel my instructor has patience that will help prepare me and build up my confidence to be prepared for the moments in the future when there might not be the “patient support” there is here at TR Leger.”
- “This program gave me a good working knowledge of what to expect in the modern working world.I would like to thank my Instructor for helping me through it all and helping me to get my self-confidence and self-esteem back.”
