Pros

The Winnipeg campus is great. A ton of learning condensed into 7 weeks of training. The staff there are very friendly and helpful. There is a phone app to help learn the 117 signal cards. Different teacher every week. There is a 4 day weekend part way through the 7 weeks that you can go home.

Cons

Disorganized at times. Class start times different every week, you have to seek out alot of information. CN doesn't cover alot of safety gear expenses. A portion of the boots cost. We have to buy all outer wear. Such as winter gear, coveralls, overalls.
