WELCOME TO THE CONTINUING EDUCATION GUIDE FOR FALL 2021! MESSAGE FROM COLLEGE PRESIDENT

What is Continuing Education? Generally, Continuing Education courses are short-term opportunities for you to learn something new or to enhance your industry or business skills. Some courses are offered in one short evening session, while others, like our full Activity Assistant, Birth Doula Studies, Special Event Planning, Cannabis Retail Specialist and Haul Truck Operator programs take place over a number of weeks or months.

Each of our seven campuses offers a selection of courses or programs! See a course or a program offered at one of the other campuses in a community you don’t live in? Maybe book a weekend away and sign up for it! Or if you are really interested but can’t manage travelling to the other

ADULT UPGRADING

ADVISING SERVICES

Adult upgrading is designed to help you develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to be successful in employment situations and in further education. You can complete individual courses to meet prerequisite needs or to earn your Adult Graduation diploma. The program is flexible to individual need and ability, and students can fit classes and study into their work and personal schedule. This program is tuition-free and funding opportunities may be available to cover books and other costs.

An Education Advisor is available by appointment to provide assistance with education and career decisions. The Education Advisor can provide you with information about programs and courses at the College and other post-secondary institutions, assist you with identifying your career goals, supervise assessments for adult upgrading and vocational training programs, and assist with financial aid information.

Adult upgrading and advising services are available in Fernie, Invermere, Golden, Creston and Cranbrook campuses. Contact your local campus for more information or to book an appointment with an Education Advisor.
