I am very proud to be a student at NACPT and to be given an opportunity to write this testimonial

while still completing my program. I first came across NACPT at a career college fair while attending university. In my last year of completing B.Sc, I obtained early acceptance to NACPT with a scholarship. This school stood out to me because of the many types of programs they offered which cover multiple areas of the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to fast-track, hands-on training, i was able to connect with industry professionals who effectively guided me on my career path. With the tools support and interview preparation NACPT provided me with, I was able to obtain a full-time position with a established CRO half-way through program completion I highly recommend this program to anyone that needs industry based knowledge in working in the pharmaceutical industry in Canada, especially recent graduates and international students who need Canadian experience. NACPT is a school that puts its students first and prioritizes helping every student succeed in whatever career they choose to pursue within this industry.

NACPT helped me to build confidence and prepared me thoroughly for all the interviews I had to face!

testimonial from Pradha Muruganathan M.Sc.

It is with great pride that I draft this letter of appreciation to North American College of Pharmaceutical Technology (NACPT)

in acknowledgement of their immense support and guidance from the onset of my training phase to my entry into the pharmaceutical industry. During 2012, I had enrolled in the Pharmaceutical and Bio-pharmaceutical Clinical Research, one of the Post-Degree Diplomas offered at NACPT. The program was designed exceptionally well to accommodate academic teaching with hands-on training experiences, through which I had enriched my understanding of the pharmaceutical industry and all the regulatory bodies that govern it. Each class was conducted by industrial experts who brought interesting insights into current and best practices within the industry. Apart from the quality – hands on training I had attained, NACPT had also helped me get a government grant in support of my work term, and also supplemented with a scholarship of $ 3000. I have also had the opportunity to work at NACPT as a Program Coordinator (co-op position), which allowed me to further strengthen my leadership and interpersonal skills. Most importantly, NACPT had set itself apart by building partnership with various pharmaceutical companies and inviting them for on-campus hiring. It was truly a great experience and one of the greatest rewards was the number of job opportunities that had come my way upon completion of the program. Last but not the least, NACPT helped me to build confidence and prepared me thoroughly for all the interviews I had to face! As I begin a new journey within the pharmaceutical industry, I will cherish each memorable moment at NACPT for a lifetime! My hearty thanks to the CEO of NACPT and all industrial experts once again for all that you have done to help me begin a new chapter in my life!

testimonial from Subagini Baskaran B.Sc.

Two months ago, I had come to know about NACPT while browsing through the internet. I enrolled in the program

soon after, and liked the environment, because you learn everything through a practical approach. Their teaching methods make it easy to understand the content. NACPT further helped me with my interview skills and I got the job before I finished the program. The professors are highly qualified and they are all from the pharmaceutical/ bio-pharmaceutical industry. The unique thing about this college is that the professors cover the essential content that you need to know for the pharmaceutical related job market. NACPT is different from other colleges in many ways, including the short, fast track and in-depth programs. We also get special individual attention in terms of hands-on training, job searching and connections within industries. I also received a $2000 scholarship from NACPT for my program. I strongly recommend NACPT to other students because of the excellent teaching environment, coaching techniques, job assistance service and more.

NACPT has helped me a lot from the very start of my Second Career application up to finishing the training.

And even after my training the college has given me the opportunity to do an internship so I can have some work related experience. The job that I got at Apollo was even referred by NACPT. Without their help in finding a job like forwarding the students resume to prospective employers, it would be very hard to be given the chance to be interviewed and be able to prove your self. May thanks to NACPT for helping the students all the time. I would recommend this program and the college to others.

I found out about NACPT through a referral. NACPT helped me make a career move into the pharmaceutical industry especially

validation practice. The college is very unique in providing only the knowledge about good practices, lab skills, and the entire process of drug manufacturing but actual training with the visualization of the equipment required in critical processes. The college has industrial experts as professors allowing the students to be up-to-date and current on the subject matter. NACPT helped me find a career through the program which included additional job assistance, sessions on resume building, interview skills, and social media updates. I would definitely recommend this program to others who want to be current and successful in the pharma industry. More than that, I would recommend this for others who need specialized skills and that extra push/help/skills to jump-start their successful careers.

I was a fresh UofT graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Science. I came across NACPT at the University career fair. I was not sure what Clinical Research was all about but with more understanding I joined the program. I thank God I enrolled into Clinical Research under the guidance of NACPT’s director and all the qualified instructors. Every one of them was so supportive both in academics and career paths. An additional unique advantage at NACPT was that the classes were intimate and hence easy to relate to each other as students and more to our instructors. NACPT continues to give career support and advice way after graduation. They assisted fixing my resume and even provided short term co-op positions. Less than 1 year later I got hired in the field as a Clinical Research Assistant. I believe that this is just a stepping stone into higher positions. I trust that NACPT will be a great support in my career ahead. Thank you NACPT!

After completing my Bachelor of Science at University of Waterloo, I came straight to North American College of Pharmaceutical Technology.

I had a lot of uncertainly about my future. However, the instructors at North American College of Pharmaceutical Technology were very welcoming and approachable. I strongly believe the coaching and guidance I received here not be comparable to other schools. The one-on-one coaching and availability of instructors for extra hours was very useful in learning the course material. The instructors were all industrial experts, with years of pharmaceutical working experience and were very compassionate about passing their knowledge onto fresh minds. I worked closely with the school for job assistance and interview preparation. I got two interviews through North American College of Pharmaceutical Technology which refined my interview skills and they allowed me to use their name for reference purpose. Plus, I appreciated the $2000 scholarship and the financial assistance I received from North American College of Pharmaceutical Technology. With the practical knowledge I gained here, I can surely say that now I am prepared to achieve success and build a career on my own.

testimonial from Camille A. Thorpe M.Sc.

I like the fact that the program was flexible and class sizes were small. It’s a program you could pursue

I like the fact that the program was flexible and class sizes were small. It’s a program you could pursue while working full- or part-time, and it’s very easy to ask questions or get clarifications on issues. I think there are a lot of colleges that don’t really provide the knowledge in exchange for the money invested by students, which makes people wary of attending private colleges. However, I got the knowledge that was promised from NACPT. For new science graduates with no industrial experience, it is helpful to learn about the GMP, GLP etc. standards which are essential to the pharmaceutical industry and are not taught in most university science programs.
