Academic Preparation Programs
These tuition-free programs provide participants with the opportunity to upgrade their academic skills to reach their personal goals of employment or further education or training.

The academic upgrading streams offer adult learners:

• A personal academic assessment
• An individualized “Learning Plan”
• Self-paced and goal-oriented learning
• A learner centred teaching approach
• Flexible hours and continuous intake

This TUITION-FREE academic preparation program will benefit you if you:

• Do not have the admission requirements (i.e. math and/or English) for the college program to which you want to apply
• Want to register as an apprentice but did not finish high school - or completed high school some time ago and need to review
• Need to upgrade your English and math skills before using GED (www.ilc.org) preparatory materials
• Need a "Grade 12 Equivalency" to be considered for employment advancement or promotion

Where do our Grads go from here?
