Technical Program Fall 2012

DHI CANADA TECHNICAL SCHOOL

2012 TECHNICAL SCHOOL

Toronto/Calgary

A COUPLE OF VERY SUCCESSFUL FIRSTS IN TORONTO

We’re on such a roll with our technical schools, we wanted to ensure we keep the momentum going – and that we did.

DAI600 was offered for the first time in Canada.  DHI Director of Education, Keith Pardoe, DAHC/CDC, made the long drive from Chantilly to lead the instruction and he was joined by two of our own – Steve Isaac, AHC/FDAI, and Don Lopatka, AHC/FDAI.   We enticed 8 students to sign up for this very challenging course and, much to our delight, they all passed.  Congratulations to instructors and students alike for making our first attempt such a success.

Another first was the introduction of our Student Appreciation Night.  Veteran instructor, Mark Sorrenti, EHC, got the idea started with his suggestion for a jam session - and it grew from there.  DHI Canada jumped on board by supplying the pizza, refreshments and a “Thank You Students” cake.   The highlight was the hidden talent the came out of the woodwork for the jam session.  It was a tossup whether the students or instructors had the best talent but there were a lot of hidden gems.

And we’d be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge first-time instructors, Joe Meijer, AHC, and Don Lopatka, AHC/FDAI.   They both passed the test with flying colours and we look forward to welcoming them back to future schools.
