Student Testimonials

Dear AAPS, As a new immigrant to Canada it was very hard for me to understand that which career or course I should opt for. I was totally confused. Then while researching about the different courses in Canada, I found out about the Academy of Applied Pharmaceutical (AAPS). I explore the courses and by doing more research I opted for the Cannabis Management, Quality & Laboratory course.

However, Cannabis industry is the fastest growing industry. AAPS is the only one which provides the extensive coursework & knowledge transfer to the student. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and they share a lot of real-life examples. I am very well impressed from this course, they provide all updated information about the industry, prepare you for the job interview and also helps you in resume writing.

I had a fear of public speaking or to address to the group, but the courses include the presentations in the group increase my confidence to the next level. Now after completing the course I feel completely satisfied with my decision. I had a Co-op offer right after I completed my course work.

I would highly recommend this course to each and everyone who needs a knowledge of Cannabis and wanted to pursue the career in Cannabis industry.

Kind regards,

Palak Rahevar
Cannabis – Management, Quality and Laboratory Graduate

Dear AAPS, I attended AAPS in October 2017 in QA/QC Pharmaceutical Sciences. I loved the program. It helped me to see how the Pharmaceutical industry works. I recently got hired at Taro Pharmaceuticals Canada. The skills I learned at AAPS are the skills I needed for my current position as a QC Prep Chemist. I’m very grateful to all the amazing staff at AAPS.

Elizabeth Wademan
Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance and Quality Control Graduate

Dear AAPS, AAPS has helped me realize my dream of working in the Medical Cannabis industry through their amazing teaching techniques and overall support. I wouldn’t be able to be where I am now without them!

Christopher G Short
Cannabis – Management, Quality and Laboratory Graduate

Dear AAPS, I would just like to say thank you to all AAPS officials for their support and mentorship that was constantly provided to me during my studying at AAPS. I enrolled for QA/RA program on 2017 June, before completing the program on March 2018 got offer from AA pharma to work as QA associate (temporary position). On Nov 2018 landed in a permanent position at Natco Pharma as Associate QA.

A special thanks to Ms. Laleh Bighash for guiding me to select the appropriate course.

Thanks to Mr. Steven Tanner and Mrs. Deborah Gordon for mentoring me and without their help I wouldn’t be in this position today. I would like to thank Julia for her all-round support through-out my academic year at AAps.

Once again, THANK YOU AAPS for giving me this joy of my life! I couldn’t have done it without you!

Anamika Debnath
Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Graduate

Dear AAPS, Teaching students about an industry that is not fully developed yet was a task that AAPS approached with finesse. I didn’t know where to begin or what questions to ask, but during the program all my worries were dissolved.

AAPS course schedule was perfect for me as I was working a full time job on the side! The best part was that teachers were very knowledgeable about the subjects that they were teaching and were more than willing to explain in more detail any questions I had. Thank you APPS for helping me in landing a Co-Op position as an Extraction Technician, I hope to represent the college well.

Treeva Johnson
Cannabis – Management, Quality and Laboratory Graduate

Dear AAPS, I would just like to say thank you to all the staff that helped with the Cannabis course that I attended. I am very happy that i chose AAPS as my next academic endeavor after graduating University. The course was very useful in teaching me the things that I will need to know when entering the Cannabis industry. Personally I would recommend AAPS as the place to go if you want to have a better chance in finding a job in the industry or even if you would like to just learn more about what goes into producing Cannabis. This course will also help you decide where you can fit into the industry since there are a lot of areas of expertise to choose from.

In addition, I would like to thank the other staff at AAPS that helps students put together a professional resume that employers will appreciate. For example, immediately after graduating the course, I had a job interview for a growing technician position, which is exactly what I was looking to get in to. Without AAPS I don’t believe I would have gotten an interview as quickly as I did.

Zachary Petkov
Cannabis – Management, Quality and Laboratory Graduate

Dear AAPS, I want to thank you for all the support and mentorship that was constantly provided to me throughout my time studying at AAPS. Throughout my undergraduate studies at UofT, I knew I wanted a career in pharmaceuticals, unfortunately I did not have the industrial knowledge nor skills required to enter the industry, especially as a new graduate. During my undergrad, I attended a networking event hoping to get some guidance from industry professions, and that’s where I met Laleh and Jason whom made my career path a lot clearer. They invited me to tour the main campus. After my tour and a lot of research, I knew that this would be the place to jump start my career.

I enrolled in the QA/QC program and midway through the program I successfully landed a 6-month internship at Teva Pharmaceuticals. Upon wrapping up my internship and completing my program part-time, I got a full-time position with PerkinElmer.

Once again, THANK YOU to the whole AAPS team for all your help! I couldn’t have done it without you!

And to the fresh graduate student reading this: congratulations you just took the first step researching for post-graduate programs, now the next step is to come in to AAPS and talk to admin and instructors!

Lukman Nahle
Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance and Quality Control Graduate

Dear AAPS2017 was the year I entered Toronto as an immigrant from Nepal. It was a complete change in the culture, lifestyle and working environment in comparison to my previous experience. Although I came to Canada with my Bachelors Degree in Pharmacy, I didn’t have knowledge of how things work in Canada in the Pharmaceutical industry. I decided to bridge the gap with a Post-graduate diploma here in Toronto. Among number of colleges I reached out to, AAPS came to stand out of many. I didn’t have second thought after I visited AAPS for the first time. I enrolled in PG Diploma in Pharmaceutical QC/QA/RA course which i think was the best overall course to cover all the knowledge I wanted to gain. Today, I am proud that I made that decision.

After 8 months of study(still had 4 courses to complete), I got a co-op opportunity to work at Eurofins Experchem where I excelled. I was confident from day 1 because of all the knowledge I gained at AAPS. Finally, after 3 weeks of hard work into my co-op days(backed by knowledge base from AAPS) I was offered a full-time job which I gladly accepted. This was all possible because of AAPS and all the support provided by my mentors here who helped me to bridge the gap from the beginning when i was newcomer in Canada to the present time.

Thank you AAPS team for helping me succeed in my goal. Kudos to all my mentors as well as my classmates.

Yushma Shakya
Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance and Quality Control Graduate

Dear AAPS, You have been a corner stone in my life. You came in a time when I wanted to start a new chapter in my career but was too afraid and intimidated to do so. I needed a program that was trustworthy and flexible to accommodate my many responsibilities and AAPS was just the right fit. It was more than that. Its amazing staff gave me all the support and resources I needed, and I am very thankful for that.

What is AAPS without its staff? AAPS centers around your interaction there as a student. Here, you are above everything else- you are first priority. Here, you are not treated as a number nor a mean for profit. They interact with you as a student, as a human, and, at AAPS, as a friend. The one on one guidance you can receive at AAPS is unparallel. Their staff help and support you in everything: skills, knowledge, resume, job experience, public speaking, reasoning, and growth as a person.

I will hold your services dear to me and send the warmest and most sincere thanks to your staff. I thank Dr. Zsuzsanna Gesztsi, your support has had a tremendous positive impact on my journey in AAPS. You have been more than a teacher, a friend, and someone who I looked up to and knew I could always trust. To George Tabulov I would like to say thank you for all the knowledge and experience you gave us every Friday, you didn’t spare a single detail. Dr. John Eissenhoeffer, I gladly say that your hard work and support has splendidly paid off, your classes are invaluable. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I can say with certainty that I doubt I would meet such wonderful people as yourselves. You helped mold us and your efforts will be cherished. To Deborah Gordon and Steven Tanner, thank you for your help and support in making our resumes and job applications, your advice set me to the right path. A special thanks goes to you Deborah who believed in me wholeheartedly and gave me all the emotional support that anyone would ever need, you are such a cheerful butterfly in a wonderous world. To Alicia Ramdass, vital is too small of a word to describe your roll in helping me get my co-op position, your kindness is much appreciated. To Julia, Rebecca and the reception staff, my thanks extends to you warmly. Truly, AAPS is filled with the most wonderful type of people, those who always make the world seem cheerful. Once again, I thank you all.

Mrs. Laleh Bighash thanks would not be due if none of it was sent to you. I would not forget how when I first joined AAPS and was upset, you were patient and understanding and supported me to the fullest. For that I give you special thanks.

My experience here gave me a confidence boost that makes one feel unbreakable. The skills I learned at AAPS landed me a position at Pharma Medica Research Inc. and with such background. I know that I can compete anywhere across Canada and be steadfast, reassured in the confidence that comes from knowing that AAPS has supplied me with everything that I need. That is the kind of person you become after AAPS.

Thank you AAPS, you are now a happy chapter in my life that I look back at with fonding.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Salwa Fathi Benshatwan
Clinical Research, Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance Graduate

Dear AAPS, I am so excited to tell you that I got a job offer from Bimeda Company as QC Analyst I. I know what I learned at AAPS will be very helpful and useful. I am so glad that I chose the right school and I will recommend AAPS to others who want to work in the Pharmaceutical industry.

Best Regards,

Sandeep Trivedi

Dear AAPS, As a graduate of the QA/QC program at AAPS College, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for such an amazing program. I am working as a QA Document Control Administrator in SGS Canada now. I would like to inform that it was a great experience. The instructors and staffs were incredibly professional, respectful, and supportive. The materials selected to teach in different subjects were exactly what I need for my job. I would recommend these courses to anyone who has a desire to get into the pharmaceutical and food industry.

Best Regards,

Parisa Kermani
Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance and Quality Control Graduate

Dear AAPS, Taking the Academy of Applied Pharmaceutical Science’s Cannabis Management, Quality & Laboratory course was the one of the best decisions for my career.

Not only are the teachers all friendly, they are also all extremely knowledgeable in their field, with real life experiences to share. The class sizes are small and intimate, making for the perfect learning environment. I was also very impressed with how well this school keeps up to date with changes in the industry, as it is constantly evolving.

I can say with confidence they prepared me well for the industry, and I had job offers for positions I wanted right off the bat.

I am so happy I chose to go here, and I highly recommend this to everyone that is wanting to get into the industry.

Orenda Von Gernet
Cannabis – Management, Quality and Laboratory Graduate

Dear AAPS, I am a graduate of the Cannabis – Management, Quality and Laboratory certificate Program (January 2018 graduation – the first group of students to take this course when it was first introduced!). I just wanted to let you guys know that I have recently accepted a position working with Canntrust as their Document Coordinator. I start in a couple of weeks, and I am super excited. I will say, it did take me a while to find this position. But at the end of the day, I believe without doubt, that the help you provided me with in regards to my resume and QA/Regulatory training, has help me land the position I am about to take.

Thanks so much!

Regards,

Giselle Barona
Cannabis – Management, Quality and Laboratory Graduate

Is there any words stronger than “THANK YOU” that I can use to express my deepest gratitude to the staff of AAPS? This is what I feel towards each and every one of you, and that before my graduation I found my dream job.

It was your enormous help to not only give me the skills I needed but often the one on one guidance which made me feel like I was the only student in the class and college.

It was your efforts to prepare my resume, provide me mock interviews according to my target industry; it was your effort to connect me to the employer. Everything was done by YOU GUYS, and now today I have landed the job I wanted, that I had once longed and hoped for, working as a QA consultant for Olli Brands Inc.(cannabis)

It was simply following your sincere efforts and from your excellent professional experience and attitude to gain my trust as a student. Providing me the environment to express freely all my insecurities about my, at first, lack of knowledge of my chosen field – this was totally new to me in every direction and you provided me the confidence I have now, through giving me the skills I needed.

Warmest regards,

Iren Haxhi
Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance and Quality Control Graduate

Laleh, Steven, especially – thank you very much for your help and advice to improve my Canadian knowledge and skills in the Clinical Research area. It has happened with great training by your professional instructors like Dr. John Eizenhoffer and George Tabulov.

I am so happy to choose AAPS for studying, as I got my first job in Pharmacovigilance and Medical Information at Galderma Canada Inc., immediately after my last exam. Then, by 7 months of working there, I received a second job offer for a Clinical Research Coordinator role at Inflamax Research Inc. and took it! These great events would not have occurred and were not possible without your support and attention.

Wish all of you the best and again appreciate your strong consideration and kindness.

Warmest regards,

Arezoo Estakhri
Clinical Research, Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance Graduate

I’m extremely happy to let you know that I’ve received my offer letter to join as Project Management Associate at Axiom real-time metrics solutions, On.

AAPS course has been an excellent place which has oriented me appropriately to start my clinical research career in Canada. Dr. John Eissenhoeffer’s classes and discussions made me thorough with the subjects of ethics, and medical writing etc, and his assignments have added on to my online certifications- including plain language certificate and TCPS- 2. I’m sure that every person who has taken his classes will do well in any walk of life, as he puts not just our knowledge, but also logical reasoning and presentation abilities to test.

George Tabulov literally transports us to the Canadian clinical operations field, sans virtual reality gears. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the debates, and understanding the intricacies of Health Canada vs FDA. Time flies by swiftly on Fridays.

Steven Tanner has wonderfully guided us in making our resumes North America friendly and oriented us on interview styles and covering letter preparations. Deborah Gordon gave me the first good news that I am being considered for the co-op position for Clin Ops at Lambda Therapeutic Research, Scarborough. The thought spurred me to start applying for jobs, by boosting my confidence.Both Deborah and Steven are great assets to AAPS students.

Dr. Zsuzsanna Gesztesi is a true mentor, be it in class, research or life. She has let us in on the corporate and Big pharma industry and constantly provides latest updates. She has definitely been my inspiration to aim high and has held my hand through each stage of my job search as well as the interviews. Her passion to help any person comes across, not just in the form of mentoring, but also as a top reference we can provide on our resumes.

Julia, Daniel, Roop, and Rebecca have been so friendly and cooperative.

I would like to thank all of you, (especially you Ms. Bighash, for your support and understanding of students and any problems- I remember the time when I had to exit to Kuwait and re-enter for my PR), and my friends who helped me catch up on any days which I couldn’t make to class. Coming to AAPS to pursue my post-graduate diploma in Clinical research, drug safety and pharmacovigilance has been one of the best career decisions I’ve made. I would definitely refer this place to any new immigrant like me.

Remya Pushparajan Subha

I am writing to you to express my feelings of appreciation and gratitude for you, Ms. Laleh and all AAPS staff, as I landed the position as QC Chemist in Apotex.

Thank you, and all the best wishes for more success and achievements.

Thank you for my wonderful journey with AAPS.

I am excited to share my employment news. I am now working as Quality Assurance Manager and I couldn’t have done it without your help and encouragement.

At AAPS I really enjoyed friendly, ambient and professional support from management and professors. I will mostly miss my friends, especially Mr. Yousefian’ s Food Science classes.

I want to specifically thank all the instructors, especially Mr. Yousefian who was like a father for me and anytime he was accessible for my requests and questions to help me get the job of my dreams as QA Manager. I have never seen or met such a nice advisor during my whole life until now.

I also want to thank Steven for leading Student Services and for his and all the staff for the support in helping me find a job and for help with my interviews, interview skills and resume.

I would also like to thank Laleh for her kindness and support from the beginning and until I graduated.

Thank You

It brings me great pleasure to inform you that I have officially signed the permanent full time position contract as Clinical Data Manager with McDougall Scientific Ltd since March 2017. I had started working with them as a contractor last November and they eventually hired me on March.

As you might know, this has been my third position in Canadian Pharmaceutical Industry since I started working with Axiom last year when I was studying the last semester of my program in AAPS. Then I continue working in Biopharma for few months which led to my cooperation with McDougall Scientific Ltd. All of these steps and accomplishments could not be possible without your help. I just wanted to thank you for your supports; expert advices; encouragement and also; for the great experience I had in APPS.

In addition, I would like to express my special gratitude to George for the valuable endeavors and for creating such a wonderful environment where learning was fun and rewarding.

Warm Regards,

Azadeh Sajadian

I have news to share! I have recently received an offer of a full time position at Biopharma Services Inc. in the data management department.

Though this marks the end of a wonderful journey with AAPS, I am equally excited starting another journey at Biopharma. The instructors were very caring and interested in students’ well-being and I would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Peivand Pirouzi, Dr. John Eisenhoffer and Prof. Beatrice Cardone for their extra effort as I was the only student without a pharmacy/medical background. They made sure every class was fun, educational and interactive. The staff and the management team have always stepped up and helped me out in every possible way.

Once again, Thank you for all support and encouragement you have provided me during my time at AAPS.

Best Wishes,

Nilanjana Dutta

Dear AAPS, This is to inform you that I have got a job at Thermotech in their Quality Assurance Department. Thank-you for helping me and submitting my resume to different companies, it was good to work together on finding a job; thank you for cooperation and the support of the Career Services Department.

Asif Rafiq
Food, Technology, Safety and Quality Graduate

I am happy to announce that following graduation (QC/QA) I have just started working in Mississauga as a Mining Chemist with Agat Laboratories, Mississauga. The work is good and I enjoy it. This job was posted on AAPS’s ‘Who’s Hiring?’/Indeed and I applied on a Friday and was called for an interview the following Monday and then the following week I was called in to sign the papers. The nicest aspect of this job is that it is metallurgical analysis which I had done in my previous job. It also means standing on my feet for 8 hours and I work with equipment that I worked previously with such as ICP-OES, ICP-MS, Atomic Absorption (Acetylene Flame), carbon/sulfur/nitrogen analysers and extraction equipment for heavy and precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum along with nickel chromium and selenium.

Once again I want to thank you immensely for all your efforts in improvising my resume with the necessary tweaks that caught the attention of Agat Labs; I will miss you, the AAPS members and the ‘joie de vivre’ you emanate at AAPS.

I just want to update you regarding my co-op experience here at Lear Co-packaging Ltd/EliteMed, so far it’s been great and I have even bigger news, wait for it…

Our General Manager worked with me on reviewing, updating, revising and formatting all of the company SOPs, we also developed a new Quality Manual. I am also very involved in operational running’s of the business from receipt to shipping and other QA related activities.

Just yesterday, she offered me a QA/QC management role (full time) and I accepted. I will be working (GMP) with NHPs, vitamins, and medical devices. I really like the flexibility that comes with the job and the family atmosphere that goes along with it. I am also in the process of renewing and amending the company’s DEL (distribution and importation is in the pipeline) as well as the site licence and medical device applications. This new role for me really complements the QC/QA Diploma I achieved at AAPS.

I really appreciate all the knowledge and experience that I learned from all you guys. AAPS’s Regulatory GMP courses are really helping me right now (with all the Health Canada applications which I’m tasked to do). AAPS’s GMP courses and Lab training (lab techniques and soft skills – dealing with difficult people). It is so true what I learned in terms of the interview skills workshop at AAPS too “companies hire people with a good attitude, knowledge often comes next”. I really appreciate everything, at AAPS you have all helped me so much!

One last thing I have to say, I am also glad that I quit the production (survivor) job that I had before and attended AAPS. It is one of the greatest decisions that I made to focus on studying for bigger things and now I have achieved my dream job.

I wish you guys at AAPS all the best, and I know that you will continue to help guys like me who just came here in Canada and prove that they can still do the job that they did back home!

Sincerely,

Gerald Garcia

I couldn’t have done it without AAPS. Apotex’s interview process was quite challenging, and it was my GMP and lab manuals which supported me for many of my answers. Of course, the information could not have stuck without great instructors, and I give credit to Jason and Steven for being two of the very best. Steven’s stories made classes entertaining and memorable, and he was extremely helpful when approached for career advice. Jason’s precision in mentoring students ensured that they walked away with the full set of lab skills and knowledge that they needed. He was extremely open to feedback, and did everything he could to enhance the students’ learning experiences. Valentina exemplified good documentation practices and definitely made me a better documenter.

I look forward to being in the position to give back to AAPS some day! Thanks again for making such opportunities possible for students like me.

Wishing you all the best.

Sana Kazilbash

I would like to share the good news that I have received a permanent position at Apotex in Analytical Development (R&D) department and I would like to thank you for the excellent industrial oriented training program and instructions that helped me quickly to land a career in the pharmaceutical industry.

In particular, I am grateful for Mr. Jason Chu’s selfless help. His excellent teaching skills and courteous personality has helped me tremendously through my journey at AAPS.

I am writing this note to share my overall journey from a IT Consultant to a PV Coordinator.

Last year, during this time my day was split into two half, first where I would work as a IT Consultant and the second half I would call/email various Universities in Canada and in the US to understand their course offering. I spent most of my time looking for contacts and reference in LinkedIn who can suggest a course on Clinical Research. I am a Bio-Tech graduate and getting back to my line, i.e. Science, was the most important thing. After much deliberation, debate and suggestions, I finally decided to move to Toronto and take up this Clinical Research course from AAPS.

Since then, my journey has been brilliant. There has been learning everyday and all that came from some of the best in the industry. It was a change I have been looking for and wanting since the time I graduated. The quality of teaching, course content and the mode of delivery is just outstanding. I am extremely happy that I made this decision to take up this course from AAPS. Now as I prepare for my 5th Sem, I have been hired by AXIOM as PV Coordinator – I know all this was possible because of the exposure and learning I got from the course. I am confident that just like me, AAPS will continue to harness and mold careers of many students.

I want to thank George for their valuable teaching and encouragement for creating such a wonderful environment where learning is fun and rewarding.

Thank you & Regards,

Rani Parihaar
Clinical Research Graduate

“I believe being able to obtain a QA/QC Post Graduate Diploma was critical in the success of my career.”

My invaluable experience at AAPS has been both eye opening, and greatly instructive. Graduating with a Master’s Degree from India, I felt unprepared to enter the workforce and had no idea where to start. The program itself was informative and the instructions highlighted the importance of each concept. It has provided me the relevant pharmaceutical experience and industry knowledge that gave me the best opportunity to have a great start to my career in Quality Assurance.

The best part about this program is the feeling of support and I had an opportunity to learn from outstanding people who had a true passion for excellence. I would like to show my deepest gratitude to Mr. Jason Chu, Mr. Andy Tallevi and other staff who has a concern for each student and who fostered an environment of growth and success. I would like to thank Mr. Jason who helped me to attain my first job through resume critiques and interview preparation.

The most beneficial aspect of completing this diploma was that I was able to enter the workforce immediately as a Quality Assurance Associate and I feel confident in my knowledge and skills and believe I am ready for the challenges ahead in my career.

Thank you AAPS.

Warm Regards

I have got the offer with a good compensation package. Working site is good. There is no doubt, the AAPS –PG Diploma in Pharmaceutical QA/QC gave me the courage to dive into the pharmaceutical industry with confidence. I don’t see anything new in my working place since every aspect of the industry is covered in the courses.

Definitely your reference was a solid support this. Thank you very much Laleh.
