"Mr. Buckingham, I want to thank you for all your guidance
and support during the course. You are truly the best instructor I have had the
pleasure of being taught by. The attention you give your students is invaluable.
I have gained employment as a Technical Service Representative with Compugen.
They are #4 in the Canadian industry for I.T. services. I am part of the IMAC
Team (I=Install, M=Move, A=Add, C=Change). We look after all new workstation
builds, program installations, hardware changes, and Blackberry setups, besides
any malfunctions they may have. Most of the work we do is on HP laptops. This is
the best employment opportunity I have ever had and I owe it all to the staff at
Westervelt College. I have become very proud of the fact that I now have a
college diploma. "
