Dale Splettstoeszer is a Senior Microelectronics ECAD Designer for a hearing aid company. He works in the development of next generation technologies and platforms, including designing the tiny flexible circuit that is contained in the hearing aid.

Dale`s manager, a George Brown College Electronics Technician Certificate grad, recommended the GBC program to Dale. Supported by his company, Dale enrolled, looking to expand his working knowledge of electronics.

While there were many aspects of the program that Dale enjoyed, he particularly appreciated “the ability to move at [his] own pace.” He also found the textbook “was well written, well designed and really complemented the computer-based material.” When Dale contacted GBC tech support about an incorrectly posted exam grade, “[he] was very impressed with how quickly they responded by phone and email and fixed the problem.”

As a result of the program Dale is more knowledgeable and productive in his job. “Now, when I sit in meetings and listen to the product engineers discussing the hearing aid circuits, I understand far more of what they are talking about”.
