What students say about us

  • I really enjoyed the WHMIS and Customer Service Fundamentals Training. The sessions were well-organized, clear, and practical. The trainers were professional, engaging, and supportive throughout the course. I now feel more confident in my understanding of workplace safety and in delivering excellent customer service. This training exceeded my expectations and equipped me with valuable skills that I can apply every day. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their knowledge and performance at work! I particularly appreciated the opportunity for each participant to speak, which encouraged team collaboration during the training.

  • Deciding to change careers, I wanted/needed to update my computer skills. I was enrolled in Basic Computer Skills and then Workplace Computer Skills. PICS keep classes small to focus on your learning and as a result we were able to get a lot of one-to-one help. The instructor is patient and knowledgeable. I was able to cover Microsoft Word, Power Point and Excel. I learned a lot in a short time and feel much more confident. A lot of what I learned will allow me to save time and effort. I felt welcome and comfortable to ask questions. The staff are kind and very generous. I enjoyed my time and feel grateful for the opportunity. Many thanks to Ish and Sharon! Wishing you all the best going forward. Tara Walker

  • I deeply appreciate the teachers Will and Nirmaljeet at PICS Community who led my Food Safety and First Aid training. They were not only knowledgeable and professional but also patient, encouraging, and able to connect the lessons to real-life situations. Their approach made me feel confident and supported throughout the training.
