Enrolling in the pro­gram is a require­ment if you want to earn the cer­tifi­cate. You may apply for admis­sion as you start your stud­ies or, if you pre­fer, after you have tak­en one or more courses. 

To enrol, you must have a min­i­mum of a high school diplo­ma (or equiv­a­lent) and two years of relat­ed work expe­ri­ence. If you attend­ed high school in Alber­ta, tran­scripts may be ordered from Alber­ta Edu­ca­tion at 780−427−5732; for high schools out­side of Alber­ta, con­tact the cor­re­spond­ing provin­cial depart­ment of education. 

You are still invit­ed to apply if you do not meet the admis­sion require­ments. Your qual­i­fi­ca­tions will be reviewed, and con­di­tion­al entrance may be grant­ed. For details, con­tact the pro­gram office at 780−492−3034.
