Client and Student Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our students say:
Before finding this service, I was struggling to understand the true scope and day-to-day reality of being a PA in Canada – online resources were just too generic. My 30-minute ‘Ask a PA’ session was exactly what I needed. Getting clear, honest answers from someone actually working in the field helped confirm this was the right path for me before I even started applying.
Ben
Pre-PA Student, Richmond, BC
I was feeling completely overwhelmed by the PA school application process, especially the supplementary essays and the MMI format. The personalized feedback I received on my application drafts was incredibly helpful, and the mock interview session was a game-changer! Talking with a practicing PA gave me practical strategies and boosted my confidence significantly. I genuinely believe this guidance was key to getting my acceptance offer.
