When Jeny Benedict arrived in
Canada, she had no idea that
George Brown courses would
lead to a new life. Three years
after her first class, she has her
Medical Office Assistant
Certificate, works full-time in a
medical office and relies on her

After almost two decades in the
film industry, Samantha Armstrong
felt it was time to pursue her
passion for gardening professionally.
George Brown’s gardening courses
inspired her; the exceptional
instructors encouraged her.
Samantha’s skills and confidence
have blossomed into success.
Aurora Rodulfa was looking
for new ways to help her
clients (other newcomers to
the country). She found the
professional development
she was looking for in the
Advanced Counselling Skills
Certificate – and now she’s
back at George Brown for more.

When Jon Robertson decided
to turn his lifelong hobby into a
profession, he registered for the
Digital Photography Certificate
at George Brown. He gained
the technical skills needed to
be a professional as well as the
contacts and connections to
ensure his success.

The Final Piece
Passion for Work
Laura Stein was looking to
supplement her background in
design with practical interior
decorating skills. The Interior
Decorating Certificate taught her
how to get her designs into her
clients’ homes, and it also helped
her launch an award-winning
decorating business.

Heather Hewer was writing a
blog in her spare time when
she discovered the Editing
Certificate at George Brown
and a new job opportunity.
With the help of her new skills,
Heather earned her current
position as a Communications
Officer – a job she truly enjoys.

holistic look at the individual and accepts that we are
each capable of constructing our own lives through
recognition of what brings meaning to our lives. It is an
approach that is culture-based and respectful and that
applies equally well to all age groups. While the focus

applicable to counselling in general. For more

“I can’t say enough about my George Brown experience; there was always somebody
there to motivate me and to be patient with me. When I arrived in Canada, I didn’t
think about school. I Just thought about work because that’s what you do as a new
immigrant. But to me, you’re never too old to go to school. Education means a lot:
I can now read a book in English, write an essay and do a lot of things people take for
granted. If I hadn’t gone to school, I wouldn’t have all of this.”

Making a
Change
A visit to George Brown turns
into a new career
Jeny Benedict can trace a dramatic change in her life back to 2007
when she accompanied a friend to George Brown College. She picked
up a George Brown Continuing Education course calendar and read
the student stories.
“Those stories sealed the deal for me,” Jeny remembers. “They were
real people with experiences similar to my own.”
Now, four years later, Jeny works full-time at a multi-specialization
medical clinic in Mississauga. The 28-year-old is living her dream:
she loves both the job and the people she works with, and she gets to
spend her free time with her husband, their 6-year-old daughter and
their extended family and friends. But her life wasn’t always so idyllic.
“I arrived in Canada from Sri Lanka in 2004 and settled in
Mississauga,” Jeny says. “For three years, I didn’t work, and it was
definitely getting to me, but I didn’t know what I wanted to do.”
That was when Jeny decided to visit George Brown. Her first stop was
the Student Service Centre.
“My first experience with the school was very positive,” she
remembers. “They told me that in order to register for a program, I’d
have to take, and pass, the General English Assessment [p. 242].”
Jeny successfully completed the assessment but was unsure which
program to pursue. She started by taking courses that would
improve her skill set for any career: Computer Keyboarding (p. 34),
Computer Literacy and Windows (p. 34) and Computer Basics
and Microsoft Office I (p. 34). Any fears about returning to school
were quickly assuaged.
“I was an adult, with English as my second language, yet I still felt at
ease in the classroom from the very beginning,” she says. “In fact,
there were a lot of my classmates who were in the same position,
so we encouraged each other, helped each other and shared our
experiences. The diversity of the students, and the closeness to my
classmates, made George Brown always feel like home.”
In December of 2007, Jeny decided to enter the health care field and
began working toward the Medical Office Assistant Certificate
(p. 82). She threw herself into the program, building her computer
capabilities and honing her skills in reception responsibilities, record
keeping, medical transcription and OHIP and WSIB computer billing
and payroll. Her perseverance and dedication paid off – she had a job
lined up before completing her certificate.
In her day-to-day activities at work (which include correspondence,
document creation, appointment scheduling, patient registration
and file management), Jeny continues to lean on her George Brown
40
education. Medical Office Procedures I (p. 88) and Medical Office
Procedures II (p. 88) helped her learn many of the clerical duties
involved in maintaining a doctor’s office.
“The Medical Terminology [p. 88] classes also continue to pay off,”
she says. “In a fast-paced and busy office, time is of the essence.
If I don’t understand what’s being said to me or what’s written down,
it slows me down.”
Thanks to her George Brown courses, Jeny does not worry about
slowing down. And she is quick to share her experience with others.
“I’m so impressed with the school and what it has done for me.
I never thought this would happen to me,” she says. “I’m so proud of
myself, and I’m very proud to say I’m a George Brown student. It not
only helped with my education, but my time at the school changed
my personality and my life for the better. My sister recently came to
Canada, and she will be starting at George Brown soon.”

“I praise George Brown Continuing Education for identifying the great need in this
industry and creating a program suited to both professionals in the field and new
students interested in developing their skills. The classes gave me great insight on how
to strategically integrate all aspects of Emergency Management. The team learning
environment, which engaged both students and faculty, gave me the opportunity to learn
a great deal and it inspired me to apply a holistic approach to Emergency Management
to better protect all stakeholders’ interests. The industry recognizes this certificate as a
valuable program with many outstanding graduates working in the field.”

Growing Into
a Career
George Brown student goes from
silver screen to green garden
Samantha Armstrong was living the Hollywood dream. As a script
supervisor, she accumulated an impressive resumé of more than 25
feature films (including The Recruit, The Hurricane and Four Brothers).
But, after 17 years of long hours in the film industry, she was ready
for a new challenge.
“I was looking for a career change,” she says. “Garden design was
one of the things that attracted my interest immediately. I had
enjoyed gardening on my own for many years; it was something I
wanted to try professionally. It would be a big change, but I knew
I would still need many of the organizational and other skills I
developed working in the film industry.”
After deciding which path to pursue, the 54-year-old began to
research her education and training options.
“Some places didn’t offer garden design while others only offered
it as part of a full-time horticulture program or something else,”
Samantha remembers. “I wanted an in-classroom experience, and
George Brown had exactly what I wanted.”
In the fall of 2009, Samantha started back at school by taking the first
courses in the Garden Design Certificate (p. 138) offered through
Continuing Education at George Brown College in partnership with
the Toronto Botanical Garden.
“I had a bit of apprehension about being back in school because it
had been a long time,” she recalls. “The teachers were so friendly,
welcoming and prepared that I felt at ease from the very first moment
in the class. They offered a complete breakdown of the course and what
would be done in every class, so there was no fear of the unknown.”
Samantha’s initial apprehension soon became enjoyment and,
ultimately, inspiration.
“I started to look forward to being in school because every class
gave me so much information that it made me want to do my own
research and come back with more questions. In fact, I often wished
the classes were longer because I couldn’t get enough,” she says.
“The instructors’ level of expertise is almost unbelievable;
they are master gardeners who write for magazines and travel as
guest speakers. You couldn’t learn from better people.”
Samantha completed four of the five required courses for the
Garden Design Certificate – Fundamentals of Gardening (p. 141),
Garden Design I (p. 142), Garden Design II (p. 142) and
Horticulture – Woody and Herbaceous Plants (p. 142) – and
was ready to start working in the field.
“The two design courses definitely gave me what I needed to go
ahead in the industry,” she says. “After completing them both,
50
I had the confidence to go to somebody’s property and give them a
design they would love. On top of all the practical design knowledge I
acquired in the class, the confidence I built was key.”
Samantha launched her own company in the spring of 2010 –
Beechwood Garden Design – and does both the design and the
labour. In 2010, she did eight complete garden makeovers,
signed several maintenance contracts and completed many shorter
jobs, proving that her confidence is definitely well-deserved.
As she prepares for the 2011 gardening season, Samantha continues
to recommend George Brown’s Garden Design courses.
“The courses were exactly what I wanted, and my expectations
were completely fulfilled. I will be back to take another
Continuing Education course with George Brown College,” she says.
“Whether you want to do your own garden or get into the industry
professionally, the courses at George Brown are amazing.”

“The teachers were so nice and so helpful. They always took the time to explain things
and make sure I understood, since English is not my first language. They always gave
us an opportunity to do things, and, through that, we definitely learned a lot. From the
moment I arrived in Canada, I wanted to have what I have now. I’m very happy doing
what I’m doing. It’s what I love, and I’m glad to be doing it in my new home. I’m very
grateful to George Brown for what they’ve given me and the role they played in making
my dream a reality.”

Interior Decorator launches
award-winning career with help
from George Brown courses
Laura Stein has a history with design. She is well versed in the
theoretical aspects of design thanks to her time as both an art
director with an advertising agency and a graphic designer with
a publisher. Despite her credentials, she still felt something was
missing from her resumé as she prepared to enter the world of interior
decorating: practical knowledge of the industry.
“I decided, when I moved back to Toronto from Boston, that I wanted
to get into the decorating industry,” Laura recalls. “As such, I needed
industry knowledge, so I began working at HGTV as an assistant
stylist. That gave me a great opportunity to learn the ins and outs.”
But that was only part of Laura’s plan. She also began to take classes
toward the Interior Decorating Certificate (p. 122) offered through
Continuing Education at George Brown College, and it was just what
she was looking for.
“The classes that taught me how to do my job were the most
influential,” the 37-year-old says. “The design classes were familiar
because of my background. What was important to me was to learn
how to get things done. That practicality was absolutely vital.”
From January 2006 to March 2009, Laura attended classes at
George Brown’s Casa Loma campus, earning her certificate and
getting a first-hand look at how the interior decorating industry
actually works. In addition to the guest speakers and field trips to
industry hot spots, the hands-on nature of the program worked to
dispel the misconceptions about the industry.
“The foundation classes are a great overview of what the industry
is about and what goes into putting a room together,” she says.
“Television offers a very idealized version of what we do. George Brown
courses are great because they prepare you for what you actually have
to do – it goes beyond just putting colours and patterns together.”
Laura got a chance to put those lessons to use rather quickly when
she opened her own business, Laura Stein Interiors, after her
television contracts finished in July 2006. She also became a member
of the Canadian Decorators’ Association (CDECA) while still in school.
That membership proved to be a great marketing tool for her
company and her designs. With several projects already completed,
Laura submitted them for consideration at the 2010 CDECA Awards.
“When I found out that I had earned Silver in both Design Excluding
Kitchens and Decorating Under $25K , I was ecstatic,” Laura says.
The accolades just kept rolling in: Laura has been a featured expert
on Canada AM, Global News and Real Life and in The Toronto Star,
72
the National Post and the Toronto Sun among others. She won a 2011
Consumers Choice Award as the Best Interior Decorator in Toronto
and earned Gold in the Interior Decoration Under $25K category at
the 2011 CDECA Awards.
“Personally, it’s exciting and really fulfilling to be recognized by
peers and others in the industry, both locally and nationally. It’s an
affirmation that I’m doing a good job,” she says. “Professionally,
it reassures clients and gives the business a sense of credibility. They
know they’ve hired somebody with success and industry recognition.”
Laura shares that her courses were instrumental in successfully
launching her interior decorating career.
“The classes at George Brown focus on how to design, how to
execute those designs and, most importantly, how to get it into your
client’s home,” she says. “At the end of the day, that’s what you
absolutely have to do as an interior decorator.”

“When you’re studying a language, you definitely need a different network and outlook
to help you tap into it and nurture your new language. People in the class were already
fully established in their respective careers, so they were taking the class for themselves.
We all came from different backgrounds but shared the passion for language – that
made the class feel more like a gathering than an actual class. The class is a built-in
network and that’s why I stay in touch with my classmates to this day.”

budget. The certificate covered everything I needed to know to get a job, but, more
importantly, it gave me the confidence to do the job. I trusted the teachers and learned

“I had heard good things from friends who had taken courses at George Brown – and
now I can confirm that they are all true. I was always excited to see my friends, excited
to go to school and excited to learn and indulge a passion. There is definitely a good
vibe at the School of Makeup and Esthetics. It was a great chance to network and
gain experience and allowed me to develop relationships. And the best part is that
everybody at the school was really pushing for me to be successful.”

Advanced Counselling Skills
empowers settlement worker to
help more new immigrants
Aurora Rodulfa wasted very little time getting settled in her new
country. The 41-year-old, who had community event experience in her
native Philippines, arrived in Canada in 2006, earned her Certificate
of Canadian Social Work in 2007 and was hired for her first position
in the country in April 2008. But that was just the start of her
professional development in Canada.
“I began work as a settlement counsellor,” she recalls. “Basically,
my job was, and still is, to help new immigrants address their many
needs when they arrive in Canada – to provide information, referrals
or anything else that may be needed.”
After working with new Canadians for a few months, Aurora began
to search for ways to offer them more, and she decided a return
to school was her best course of action. Continuing Education at
George Brown College, for many reasons, quickly rose to the head of
the class.
“I was working in the Parkdale area, so the fact that it was just
one TTC ride to the St. James campus made George Brown very
attractive,” Aurora says. “Plus, it was very affordable, which created
an unbeatable combination in my eyes.”
She began taking classes toward the Advanced Counselling
Skills Certificate (p. 20) in September 2008 and was pleased with
her decision.
“I was hooked instantly,” Aurora says. “I was very impressed with
the teachers’ credentials and what they do in the classroom. To be
honest, that’s why I keep coming back.”
Not only were the courses enjoyable and the teachers fantastic,
but the lessons were valuable to her work as a settlement counsellor.
In fact, Aurora put that education to good use immediately.
recommend Continuing Education programs at George Brown
College,” she says. “I want to encourage people to pursue
their education and not merely settle for work. The networking
opportunities alone are worth it – they will help you get hired.”
“The first module was extremely helpful as it dealt with how to
conduct interviews and establish rapport,” she says. “The ideas were
very different from what I had been doing but, since I’m talking to
people each and every day, those techniques have had a great effect
on my ability to do my job.”
Aurora’s quest to offer her clients even more led to her returning
to George Brown. She is now taking courses toward the
Life Skills Coach Training Certificate (p. 22); in fact, she is close to
completion but knows she will be back again.
Since completing her certificate in September 2009, Aurora continues
to share with others how her return to school positively affected both
her approach and her work.
“Because I deal with very new immigrants, I have the opportunity
to steer them toward educational institutions, and I am proud to

“For me, there’s no better way to improve yourself than to go
back to school,” she says. “And Continuing Education at
George Brown College is affordable, flexible and industry-leading.
The people in my classes are future colleagues in my profession
and can act as connections to future career growth. I’m always
grateful for that opportunity.”

Fundamentals of
TIG Welding Certificate
Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding (also known as gas
tungsten arc welding) is a commonly used, high-quality
welding process that has become a popular choice
when high-quality precision welding is required.
TIG welding has a number of advantages over other
welding processes: the sharp and rigid tungsten allows
for high-precision welding; the small arc produced
by TIG welding is ideal for welding thin materials; no
material is added to the weld unless it is required;
and the inert gas shielding the weld creates no slag or
splatter, making TIG welding a much cleaner and more
time-efficient process. This certificate provides the
knowledge and skills required to operate TIG welding
equipment and perform basic welding operations
using current welding practices. For more
information, call 416-415-5000, ext. 4861, or
