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.
