Everet was the best Teacher / instructor I have had in my whole education life. The college / academy was hands on and very informative. The experience and knowledge I have gained and learned from this school was amazing. Dusty was also the best Shop instructor, both teachers are licensed with 10+ years of experience on the job and off. Best way to get G2 certified.

Successfully completed this program and acquired both my G3, ODP and G2 license (full time). I could not be happier with the experience I had. A huge part of that were thanks to my teachers, Everet and Dusty. They truly care about your success and you will see that first hand when you start this program. I'm gonna miss this place!

To the entire HSTA team, I love you all and thanks again. #NewBeginnings.

A wonderful school to attend. I had an amazing experience online and in shop. The knowledge from the professors is evident. I had a flawless experience enrolling, too. John and Dustin were amazing through out both G3 and G2. The professors are very considerate, caring, and professional. If you have a hard time with any of the units you are learning, they will stay with you after class to make sure you understand everything. They won't ever mock you or think anything else; they just want to see you succeed! I highly recommend Niagara & Halton Skilled Trades Academy.

Did both my G3 and my G2 here, from the office people to the teachers it’s a wonderful school. Great hands on experience, teachers have good knowledge and stories and made learning interesting and fun. Got both my licenses very quick and am now working on the field for a big company, couple guys from my work also graduated from here and would recommend. GREAT SCHOOL FOR HVAC

I started here at Halton straight out of high school and it was an amazing decision. The staff here made it super easy to sign up and get started. I attended the Halton location and the instructors couldn't be any better. John made learning easy and fun to keep up with, his knowledge is very vast and expansive and has such an excellent way of teaching. Dustin the shop instructor tought me so much and i seriously can't thank these two enough. Anyone interested in going into HVAC this school is a No Brainer

Academy is very good. They trained only trades programs not regular school. Our teacher is Mr. Forbes teaches very simple and easy way. I like my trade program.

Let me just say that if you want a G2 Licence in 17 weeks this is IT! The man who was an inspiration for our class, John Spridzans! If it wasn't for this man I would not continue for G2 since I had a full time job already and working night shift. After I finished my shift at 6:00 am I would jump on my bike from Toronto to attend the class, in a happy mode every day. Our class started in first week of May to get G3 and we all continued for G2 and got it in September.

His teaching is based on his experience. He teaches old school stile, yes writing on the board and you must take notes if you want to pass. His routine is: new module, study, homework open ended questions and test (multiple questions, TSSA format). Every single module has this routine, 24 of them (G3+G2).

He will not move to the next schedule until everyone in the class has understood the module. You can ask as many questions as you want during the class if you are not clear about it.

The best of it all is one week review in the end of the course. I call it "The week of suffering". Please, Please don't miss this week! This week review will prepare you for the test and it will make the TSSA Exam looks like a walk in the park for those who go to the park, and an ice cold beer in a hot, sticky day for those who like beer.

I personally would advice those young kids who finish high school and want to take a year off to go to university. Please consider this trade licence. If you start in January, in 17 weeks you will have a G2 licence. You will be glad to have a trade licence.

The workshop is another success story. I will not say much about it because you have to go and see it for yourself. Take a tour of the shop.

Go ahead and call the most knowledgeable, experienced , inspiring and dedicated person I ever met, yes I will mention his name again, John, at Halton Skilled Trades Academy

Extremely thankful to Mr. John. If you want to learn this trade you can not go wrong going to this institute. Not only the teaching method was 5 star, the laboratory experience was exceptionally good as well.

John`s experience and talent is incredible and this is something that every candidate should be looking for.
