Lawrence Candiago Transportation Operations and Dispatching

I would like to thank all of the staff at the Automotive Training Centre for assisting me with the success of my education in the Dispatching and Transportation Operations program.  I would like to especially thank my instructor, Jerry.  If it wasn’t for him, I would not be where I am today.

Jerry greatly furthered my knowledge and understanding of the transportation industry, but he also helped me recover from my injury by giving me a positive learning environment to thrive in.  I have now been offered an instructor position for the new Dispatching & Transportation class beginning in February at the Automotive Training Centre!

I am looking forward to working and learning from Jerry and everyone at the Automotive Training Centre in the future.  I cannot thank you all enough.

Sincerely,

Lawrence Candiago,

Instructor, Dispatching and Transportation Operations
