Become a Student

Dual Credit

Dual credit programs are an opportunity for high school students to start college programs while still in high school. Students receive credit towards their high school diploma, the programs are usually paid for by the sponsoring high school, and it is a way to get ahead on post-secondary education and training.

In entry-level, trades programs, students also earn Level 1 of their technical training with the Industry Training Authority.

How to Apply:

	To apply for Dual Credit programs students need to speak to the career counsellor in their school district:
