A Note on Online Training
The ICT program is delivered entirely
online but is not self-paced. Course
scheduling is not unlike scheduling
of face-to-face courses with start and
end dates. Online delivery of courses
provides additional opportunities but
also some challenges and does require
significant commitment from students.
Benefits include flexible hours of study,
availability of the program in remote
communities and increased course
availability for those students who work
part-time. Students will, however, work
mostly on their own without the benefit
of the classroom experience. Students
who enrol in the program must have
exceptional organizational skills, be
motivated to schedule their own time
for study and submit assignments on
time. The courses in this program will
have schedules that must be adhered to
in order to complete them successfully.
ICT Required Courses:
Students must achieve a grade of B- or better in
courses that serve as prerequisites to subsequent
