TESTIMONIES

    We, the instructors, get to know each other and the cadets quite well. As we're close to them, we are able to help them. There's a good atmosphere. I would enjoy studying here!

    We work together. Often, we have a global view of the cadet that he or she doesn't yet have on him or herself. But it's always a continuous discussion. One of the reasons why so many cadets succeed with us is because of this constant communication as well as the individual monitoring of each cadet's progress.

    When we face a group of cadets, we really consider ourselves as one of them. We’re not only teaching students the technical aspects, we’re also developing their “soft” skills: together skills, knowledge and attitude. The team really works hard to get them ready. Their success is ours as well.
