Building Knowledge Canada

"I enjoyed the course in many ways and it really helped me understand the information I needed for the Foundation exam. I had pretty much zero knowledge of the requirements needed to pass the exam so I looked for a course and came across this one. They come recommended by Natural Resource Canada as a course to prep for this exam and I can see why."

- John M.

"The training was well laid out and organized. I was able to complete the courses in a reasonable time. I would certainly take courses through Blue House again!"

- Stefanie C.

"I am glad that I took the course. The content of the course was very good. The facilitator was great, from keeping record of all the questions of the attendees, to delivering all the required content, and for the prompt responses to all questions. The instructor was very knowledgeable and amazing."

- Gemayel C.
