Denise Carroll, Graduate
- “I would recommend CD-ED to anyone who has a job and children. The flexibility makes it easy to juggle your life and further your career all at the same time. ... I am currently working as Head Office Administrator with The Physioclinic here in Halifax and this course helped me work my way up to where I am now.”
Jolaine Haiche, Graduate

Shawn Crowle, Graduate
- “The instructor support was absolutely excellent! Not only were they always prompt to help, but they were just very supportive! I always felt like they really cared about how I was doing, not only with my work, but just generally, you know? ... [After graduation] I started my own, small freelance business. I'm able to set my own hours. Aside from the technical skills I learned [at CD-ED], the time management skills have been indispensable.”
