Five reasons a post-diploma is right for you.
A post-diploma certificate is an academic, college credit program that is different from continuing education or traditional graduate studies. Is it right for you?
- I’ve completed a bachelor’s degree but don’t feel I’m career-ready. Just as your bachelor’s degree was an excellent opportunity to develop academically, theoretically, and culturally, a post-diploma certificate can give you practical, hands-on, work-ready skills that align with what you’ve learned in your degree program.
- I’ve immigrated to Canada and want a Canadian credential. If you’ve already completed post-secondary (college or university) studies in your previous country, a post-diploma certificate is an excellent way to supplement your previous education with a higher-level Canadian credential from a nationally-recognized public college.
- I want to upgrade my skills to gain a promotion at work. We offer specific programs to help professionals in health and human services gain leadership knowledge, interior decorators to expand into select mechanical, electrical, and ventilation systems, and much more. Explore all your options.
- I want to change careers. Build on the skills and knowledge from your current career and education with emerging fields like digital marketing or data management and analytics, or try something new like software development or kitchen and bath design. We’re always developing new programs, partnerships, and accreditations, so keep checking back.
- I want to update my education with new skills and knowledge. Give us as few as eight months, and we’ll give you the technical skills to succeed in a new technology, design, or health and human services leadership field. Check out all of our post-diploma certificate options.
