When he knew she needed a little extra practice, he kept her out longer without hesitation and even fit us into his schedule to make sure she was ready in time for her test. He was always punctual, professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. His calm approach helped build her confidence behind the wheel, and it made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor who genuinely cares about his students' success. Thank you for everything!

This was my first time foraging and Corinne was quite patient with me. It's changed how I hike now, much slower and taking in more of my surroundings as I look for medicinal / nutritional value in the forest. Giving a 4 out of 5 as I would have liked the booklet she provided as hard copy as it was difficult to follow via my phone. And identifying while walking would have been a plus on a sheet of paper. Would I recommend, yes, she is very knowledgable and when she does not know or is not sure she tells you. FYI, she has provided advice via mushroom identification for me since the course too, so now I have a resource. I am now hooked on foraging!

Let me be real with you…read more This school will break you where you need to be broken and they will rebuild you stronger than you ever thought you could be. The 1 star reviews are entitled teens who refused to learn real life lessons and chose to complain rather than grow as people. As a farm kid, I absolutely blossomed because I knew how to roll up my sleeves and pick myself back up. This was the best experience of my life. I walked in here, assuming I could match my 98% average from school. Nope. I broke down, hard. That little number, a grade, defined who I was and it was shattered on the floor. I learned that I was more than a number. THAT was the lesson. Then I was given more work than I could reasonably complete. I broke down, again. Hard. I learned to prioritize, schedule, and say "no". THAT was the lesson. Then, I had a major personality clash with a professor. I learned to live in her silly world rather than rage and force my own views. THAT was the lesson. Then, life outside of school hit me harder than I could handle. The moment I reached out, student services and every single professor was immediately there for me. I learned I was never alone, that adjustments would be made, and that it would always be okay. Also, their student services team is always open and helps with anything you can think of. They literally counselled myself, my partner, and our toddler, helped me find and apply for scholarships, and have a small food bank. Just walk in. Anytime. You can even schedule it if you want to. There is a thriving, welcoming queer community, neurodivergent community, people in their 40's, teens, parents, everyone artistic or techy. It really is an oasis out there. Lastly, I never really write reviews. Actually, most successful alumni here don't, simply because they're too busy with their careers - perhaps why this rating is low. People say "scam" because their entitlement was shattered the moment they realized this isn't a pay to win ticket with cute little grading systems. You're not a number here. You're a person. They will prepare you for the real world. I recommend CATO to anyone up for the challenge. Sincerely, A 3D animation grad from 2021 (currently working on Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight)

DO NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE THE RESULTS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR…read more I see many reviews about CATO saying it is a scam/waste of money/rip off, etc... Well let me tell you my success with CATO I attended CATO in January 2018 for the 1 year Network Administrator program. 12 months later I graduated in December 2018. I am 3 months into 2019 and I have my CATO diploma and currently work as Desktop IT Support for a Texas oil and gas corporation downtown Alberta. My entry level pay is $25/hour which will only increase as I gain more experience and certifications. CATO will help you learn everything you need to get your foot into the IT industry. The student loans can be paid off quite quickly with the amazing pay of being an IT professional. You can work anywhere in the world, I've had interviews with companies in Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Miami Flordia, Houston Texas, Hungary, and even London UK. Ended up landing the Texas oil and gas job. I have never been happier.. attending CATO was the best decision of my life. So if you are debating on going to CATO, please don't let the bad reviews turn you off. It is not CATO's fault that a student did not succeed. It is ultimately up to the student whether or not she/he wants to succeed. That applies to any College or University on the planet. It is always up to the student how bad they want to succeed. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about the school, about the program and about my professional career path. You can reach me @ adammartonbeke@gmail.com Sincerely, A former CATO student

PARENTS BEWARE!…read more If I could give negative stars I would, and it is extremely unfortunate that this is the case as there are precious few places where children in the Okanagan can have a Montessori education. To be fair, at one time, they had a couple stellar humans in their employ and when we first started there we honestly felt quite highly about the place, but those few good ones have moved on and everything has gone downhill. The remaining staff are completely untrained in any sort of de-escalation tactics for little ones, which as daycare and preschool caregivers they should be well versed in. They cannot handle any sort of confrontation with children or parents. Staff are unprofessional and severely lacking in basic communication skills and are incredibly disorganized as a result. Their curriculum is also completely under stimulating for children who actually want to learn. The staffing changes and subsequent changes to how classrooms are organized, resulted in an immediate shift in our child's behaviour. we went from "I love my school" to "none of my teachers like me and I'm not special" almost overnight. In our attempts to open up better lines of communication with the teachers and get to the bottom of where this was coming from we were given conflicting information about what the expectations were (one teacher told us that the expectation was that our child would lay quietly on a mat for an entire hour without any activities while other children napped, and that if we wanted activities provided during that hour we should send them from home, only to be scolded by another teacher the following day for sending activities from home and that they provide activities after 10 or 15 minutes) and conflicting information about what was going on in the classroom in general. As another means of addressing our concerns, we requested a meeting with the manager. This request was ignored for 2 months (we requested a meeting in mid-March and did not receive one until the beginning of May when things had gotten significantly worse. During this time, we continued to receive conflicting information. After 2 months of trying, we finally got a meeting with the manager and the teacher during which we discussed at great length our concerns around communication and together worked on a plan as to how to address the lack of communication and the behaviour that the teachers were clearly unable to handle - behaviour included running around the classroom and requesting alone time sitting in the hall when overwhelmed. In our discussion, we all agreed that the problem here was our child was bored, and not content to just sit and colour pictures for 8 hours a day, that she needed to be challenged and made to feel helpful so we left the meeting with an action plan, which included some follow up with our child at home as well as some actions that the team there would take such as a classroom switch so that our child would have better stimulation and different support. The action plan was never implemented, instead we received a very unprofessional letter (partially typed, partially hand written) advising us that we were being given 2 weeks for our child to show improved behaviour. There were no performance objectives as to what they were looking for or how we were measuring this, no opportunity for questions or anyone to direct questions to. The manager then proceeded to actively avoid us (both my husband and myself literally saw her run away when she saw us coming, and I wish that was an exaggeration) for an entire week while none of the commitments we had discussed during our long overdue meeting were put into action by the staff or the manager there and we continued to get no communication or conflicting communication if any at all. We have been asked to pick our child up early without any explanation, or for things as simple as running around the yard during their outside play. It appears they are at this point looking for any excuse to just be rid of us. We were given a note "if you choose to terminate care we won't hold you to a 1 month notice". Overall, I find it nothing short of disgusting that they are even in operation. We recognize that our 4 year old is not perfect, but as parents, it is our job to stand up for her when she is not the one entirely at fault. I highly recommend parents who are seeking quality care and education look elsewhere because it does not exist here!!
