I checked Elevare Career Institute and was so impressed with the facility and the warm, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Even though new to Kelowna in the last 1.5 years, (new name) many of the staff have years of experience (some over 20 years, Alda Messiah , Executive Director ). The owners moved the college from the lower mainland and most of the staff also moved to be part of the college. I met a few of the instructors and was impressed with their background in the field they are teaching. What was most impressive was the class rooms are set up for 12 students, so that students get the best one in one assistance, with hand on training. The classrooms are state of the art with latest of equipment. I also learned while there, they have a Job Coordinator that assists students with Job Search. The courses offered are in high demand in the workplace . I highly recommend this college!
