What students are saying
I can’t thank my professors and the school enough for the time and experience they’ve given me. I absolutely love the atmosphere of Durham College with so many other like-minded people around me who are also into the trades and many that love the automotive sector as much as I do.
My favourite part about being a student was knowing that DC collaborates with community partners. This really helped me learn the skills employers are looking for. Durham College also adapts with industry changes, which helped me feel confident that I would be well-prepared to enter the workforce.”
I’ve never enjoyed school so much. I truly look forward to most of my classes. I come to school early and leave late. It’s been really fun.
