Admission Requirements

Missing a prerequisite? We can help.
-Concurrent studies: In many programs, you can start your vocational training right away and complete your missing courses at the same time.
-Recognition of Acquired Competencies (RAC): Your work and life experience may count. RAC recognizes what you already know, so you don’t have to redo what you’ve already mastered.
