Our curriculum, combined with highly trained instructors who each have background experience in the justice systems, will help you learn the professional skills needed for success in the criminal justice field.

    Grade 12 and English Language Requirement. Applicants who do not possess the academic qualifications for a program may be admitted if evidence of probable success can be established through a special admission assessment. Interested individuals should still apply. Applicants are automatically considered for special admission. However, some specific admission requirements may still need to be met.
    Additional Admission Requirements:
      Standard First Aid and CPR HeartSaver 'C' AED or equivalent are required for occupational and/or clinical placement. Accepted applicants are required to provide evidence of a criminal records check for access to correctional facilities for tours and prior to entering the practicum component of the program. At the discretion of the practicum agency, you may be declined access to a clinical or work placement based on the contents of the criminal records check. The cost of the criminal records check is your responsibility. If you have a criminal record for which a pardon has not been granted, you may be unable to complete the program.
