"My name is Andrew Mayne. I am a student here at Durham College in the Computer Programmer Analyst program. The program is basically a mixture of business and computer science. You get a lot of very integral programming skills along with some database experience, as well as a good preview of how the business world actually works."
"The positions you would go into coming out of this program, most likely you would be looking at administering databases, being an entry level programmer, and also doing help desk.
"The thing I like most about my program is just the interactivity that you have with your professors and all the people in the program. This really helps in the education process because for the most part - in the business process right now, you will not be programming by yourself. This program allows you to work in groups as well as learn how to deal with the group dynamic."
"The professors at Durham College, they like to teach at a personal level. They develop a personal rapport with as many students as they possibly can. To that end, they also bring their experience from the industry with them into the classroom, and also the connections with the industry that they still foster. And with this, it boosts the success rate of the students."
"I would definitely recommend Durham College just because this program is very all-encompassing. You get a little bit of everything, but that's not to say that you don't focus on the key aspects of what is commanded from the industry."
