Introduction
What would you do if life forced you to start from scratch—in a country where no one knew your name? Would you crumble under the weight of uncertainty, or would you fight to rebuild everything from the ground up?
Before you answer, let me introduce you to Tina.
In Nigeria, Tina was a powerhouse—a highly respected Dental Surgeon and lecturer on the verge of becoming a Consultant. She had spent years mastering her craft, dedicating herself to a career she loved. But just one exam away from reaching the pinnacle of her profession, life threw her a curveball. Personal circumstances and safety concerns forced her to make an impossible choice. Stay and risk everything—or leave behind the life she had built and start over in a place where no one knew her name.
So, in mid-2022, Tina packed her bags, said goodbye to everything familiar, and stepped into the unknown. But the fresh start she had hoped for wasn’t waiting for her in Canada. Instead, she found roadblocks, closed doors, and uncertainty. Despite her wealth of experience, her dentistry qualifications weren’t enough to continue her career. The reality hit hard. To survive, she took a job in insurance—a paycheck, yes, but a job that left her feeling trapped, uninspired, and lost. Deep inside, she knew she was meant for more. But how?
The Moment Everything Changed
Tina began searching for a way out. She explored countless online courses and career programs, but none gave her the clarity or confidence she needed. Then, a friend mentioned TCA. At first, she was skeptical. She had tried so many programs before—why would this one be any different? But something told her to dig deeper. She reached out and had a game-changing conversation with Steve from TCA. That was the moment everything shifted.
For the first time since arriving in Canada, she saw a real pathway forward—one where her skills, experience, and ambitions weren’t just acknowledged but repackaged for success. So, she took a leap of faith. And that single decision changed everything.
Breaking Barriers & Unlocking Confidence
From the very first session, Tina felt something she hadn’t felt in a long time—hope. Unlike the dry, distant courses she had tried before, TCA’s hands-on, structured approach made everything clear, practical, and achievable. As an introvert, she had always struggled in group settings. But at TCA, the atmosphere was different. The tutors weren’t just teaching—they were mentoring, guiding, and empowering. They knew every student by name, making her feel valued and seen. It wasn’t just theory—it was real-world preparation.
One moment, in particular, stood out. During an interview, Tina was asked to create a Use Case Diagram. Thanks to TCA’s practical approach, she nailed it effortlessly. At that moment, it hit her—she wasn’t just learning project management; she was becoming a project manager. Her dedication was unmatched. When she missed a session, she would wake up at 4 AM to catch up. She wasn’t just absorbing information—she was transforming herself.
The Job Search That Changed Everything
Then came a major turning point. Halfway through the program, Tina received her revamped resume—and she was blown away. For the first time, she saw herself not just as someone looking for an opportunity but as a high-value candidate, fully equipped for a Project Management role. At first, she hesitated to apply for jobs. She was waiting on a promotion at her current job and feared stepping outside her comfort zone. But then, she heard another TCA success story—someone just like her who had taken the leap and landed their dream role. That was the final push she needed. She created job board profiles, submitted her first batch of applications, and then…
BOOM! The floodgates opened.
Recruiters started reaching out non-stop. Suddenly, she wasn’t chasing jobs—jobs were chasing her. Immediately, she booked a one-on-one coaching session with her mentor, Yemi, to prepare for interviews. She also leveraged TCA’s Interview Masterclass to fine-tune her responses, body language, and strategy. She had three serious offers in the pipeline, but one role stood out—and she wanted it badly. For every interview round, she prepped relentlessly with her mentor. There was zero guesswork—only confidence, precision, and a clear game plan.
And then, it happened...
The Breakthrough Moment
Before she even completed her TCA program, Tina landed the Project Manager role she had been dreaming of. Her transformation was complete.
In her words:
"The support was incredible, and I would like to appreciate TCA for the push and for sharing the success stories of previous students. If they hadn’t pushed me, perhaps I would have procrastinated and talked myself out of taking action. Thank God I did everything I was advised to do by TCA—because now, I have the results to show for it."
