    CNC has a simulator that you can run and log your hours. It’s an opportunity to get your tickets as quickly as you can and is the only school in BC or Alberta that has this opportunity. At CNC, your teacher is almost like a tutor. They help you through things while you go at your own pace.

  • Jordyn Karl Dental Assisting

    This program gives you the ability to have a lot of hands-on time in the clinic where you can practice the skills you are learning and get a bit of an idea of what it is like to be a dental assistant.

  • Daphne Pepin Associate of Science Bio

    My favorite part of this program is the hands-on learning within the labs. As well as the lab sizes, having smaller classes for labs makes it easier to learn.

  • Arianna Rosen NCBNP

    The teachers are my favourite part of the program. They really do their best to make a very challenging program more diverse in the ways we learn and test knowledge. Whether you’re a visual learner, hands-on, or big on memorization, they do their best to make sure their classes combine all these learning forms.”
