See What Our Grads Have to Say About OIART

The quality of an OIART education lies in the quality of the staff.  These guys know and love what they teach inside out.  They bent over backwards for me while I was there and did whatever they could to help me understand the concepts that were evading me.  It was incredible to know that if I needed some one on one time regarding a topic we had learned about in class, their doors were always open.
Jon Bartel , 2005 Grad, CTV

“At 25, I realized I was not happy with where my life was going. I was in my 2nd year of grad school and dreaded waking up every day. I decided to finish school early and follow my heart. Standing at my OIART graduation ceremony, all I could do was smile knowing that I just learned more and had more fun than during my entire 4 years of college and 2 years of grad school. No matter what country you hail from, OIART is the best at what it does... preparing students for the world of audio. Thanks guys!”
Marc Henner, 2005, THQ Video Games, QA Department – USA

“I knew that getting a job in the audio industry would require more than a diploma and theoretical knowledge: it would require hands-on skills and abilities. OIART offered over 600 hours of hands-on training in state-of-the-art studios in a one-year program, the most of any school out there. Thanks OIART for a great year and a solid, real-world education. I love being an audio engineer!”
Chris Levy, 1998 Grad, Audio Archivist, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

“I can say that OIART offers the best bang for your buck. I hear far too many horror stories from graduates of other schools saying that they spent a couple of hours in a studio during a field trip every week, just to sit and watch somebody else use the gear. Going to school at OIART, in an immersion situation, was the best because it simulated real-world experience.”
Mike Cashin, 2000 Grad, 2nd Engineer at The Warehouse Studio, Vancouver, B.C., Canada

“OIART was an important stepping stone in my career. In every position I have held, I used the skills I obtained from OIART on a daily basis. The skill sets you learn at OIART enables you to be comfortable in any audio environment.”
Jeff Nichols, 2001 Grad, iZ Technologies, Vancouver, B.C., Canada

“If you want to learn audio, OIART is definitely the right place to do it.”
Graham Denman, 2003 Grad, AV-TELAV, Halifax, N.S., Canada

“OIART gave me great perspective on how the audio industry works from both the technical and business sides. My OIART education gave me confidence as an audio engineer and showed me the career path that I wanted to take.”
