Anthony Ani
“Relocating to Canada was the most challenging decision I and my family had to make, the uncertainties of a new country. I was determined that I won't risk everything to start earning minimum wage. I took my PMP training with Piston & Fusion, earned my certification at the first attempt, and to be honest it has elevated my career trajectory”
Gabriel Eluke (Human Resources/Admin) | Netcom Africa Limited
"I became a professional Human Resource personnel after my training with piston and Fusion. It brought a great turn around to my career and remains one of the best decisions I ever took. "
Okhueleigbe Usifo (Construction safety officer/ OFA) | Beedie Construction Canada
"The firm I worked with in Abuja had not paid salaries for 5 months, I decided to leave the country, and left for Dubai. I applied for a safety officer vacancy, out of 15 applicants I was the only person that was selected with HSE level 1, 2 and 3 certificate. I thought getting a job here would be difficult but my certificate helped me."
Uju Edinbus | Perform Group (Goal.com)
"I wanted to change my job, I needed something to give me the advantage to switch jobs. My friend advised I take a digital marketing course, after the training I started prospecting jobs, I got a call for my first interview, at the interview I was grilled extensively on my credentials, thanks to my digital marketing knowledge I got what I will describe as my dream job."
Mojisola Mosuro PMP | ExxonMobil
