At Northumberland College, we not only understand the growth in complementary health care career opportunities, we are a driving force. For a quarter of a century ICT Schools helped propel the trend toward preventative medicine and alternative therapy in an ever-expanding health care sector. Sports medicine, hospitals, fitness centres, spas and resorts, wellness centres, extended care facilities and private practice are just a few of the career paths our graduates have chosen.
Northumberland College is located in the heart of Halifax where a wide variety of cultural activities and services are available. The area is student friendly providing access to public transportation, parking, a wide variety of stores and services and in close proximity to affordable student housing within the surrounding community.
ICT Schools have drawn upon educational research to develop a unique learning method called Student-Centred-Interactive-Learning (SCIL). We have designed our method to involve students as much as possible in the learning process. Suikodo Therapy™, exclusive to ICT Schools, was developed by Shiatsu Master Mitsuki Kikkawa, and ICT students are provided with opportunities to study this unique and effective therapy.
ICT Schools offers Information Sessions regarding its programs on a regular basis throughout the year. Information Sessions provide an introduction to the various programs offered and include an orientation to complementary and alternative professions and practical demonstrations. Please call or e-mail the Admissions Officer of the college to arrange to attend an Information Session today. One of the best ways to find out if ICT Schools is right for you is to visit the college and participate in our student for a day program.
Not only do ICT Schools offer career counselling, professional personal counselling is also available to assist students with the emotional strains of adult education. As an ICT graduate, you will receive periodic newsletters, surveys, notice of ICT continuing education opportunities, invitations to special lectures and workshops, and preferred registration and discounts on school-sponsored events. You may also access our Employment Registry, Learning Resource Centre, and Career Counselling Services. We offer you the continuing support you need throughout your practice.
The mission of the Student Association is to promote student issues and interests. Association representatives are involved in orientation activities, socials, peer tutoring and graduation planning. The Student Association also elects student representatives to designated administrative bodies.
The Learning Resource Centre provides students with a place to study, prepare written assignments, access computers, link up to the Internet for research purposes, and access a specialized collection of books, periodicals and videotapes through a reserve lending system.
