In our current global environment, government policies and travel restrictions are preventing students from studying abroad.

While Academy of Learning Career College has a long history of training international students who travel to Canada on a student visa, we also have a long history of using our self-paced, personalized, one-on-one supported Integrated Learning™ System, offering online, on-demand, learn-from-anywhere options.

Students outside of Canada can obtain Canadian Credentials from the comfort and safety of their homes.

Jewel LaChanceAOLCC Student

Had a great experience with the staff here. A career college that is very accommodating and flexible. The flexibility was greatly appreciated especially when one work full-time and doing a full-time course.

Heidi-Ann BulterAOLCC Student

Currently attending a 1 year course for PC Support Specialist. The course so far has been good and has already helped me with working on my own personal computers. The staff is great and helpful. They take your security very seriously, so guest must check in. But if you tell the front desk in advance you won't have issues.

Nic NygrenAOLCC Student

I just want to thank the Academy of Learning Career College for giving me a start as a new comer to Canada. I am so grateful now because I feel a sense of belonging because I am now a member of the healthcare field. It is a career I have always wanted.
