Welcome to College of the North Atlantic – Qatar
The CNA-Q Story
College of the North Atlantic – Qatar is a partnership
between the State of Qatar and College of the North
Atlantic in Canada. We officially opened in September
2002. CNA-Q fills the State’s need for graduates who
have hands-on training in their field of study and are
ready to start work right away. As the second largest
post-secondary school in Qatar, CNA-Q now has
2,000 + full-time students.
CNA in Qatar
College of the North Atlantic (CNA) was chosen by the
State of Qatar from top colleges around the world to
fulfill Qatar’s need for a technical college. With 40 +
years of success and a long list of program offerings,
CNA created what is now Qatar’s premier technical
college – CNA-Q. CNA-Q programs are tailored to
Qatar’s top industries. Our institution complements
degree-granting universities in Education City and
elsewhere in Qatar. When you join CNA-Q, you are
joining a community of over 20,000 students enrolled
every year at CNA campuses in Canada and Qatar.
Our Mission
College of the North Atlantic – Qatar is committed
to being a high-quality, student-centered, public
post-secondary technical institution. This
commitment will be reflected through world-class
facilities, accessible and responsive technology
programs, and its contribution to technological
development through partnerships with industry.
The College will prepare individuals to be self-
sufficient contributors to sustainable social and
economic development of local communities,
the State of Qatar, and the Gulf Region.
Our Vision
College of the North Atlantic – Qatar will be
recognized as a world-class educational institution.
It will reflect quality and innovation in its programs,
its services to students, and its response to current
and future needs of individuals, business, industry,
the State, and the region. Its role in human resource
development will ensure that people are prepared to
contribute to a diverse economy and globalization.
Diploma vs. Degree
With 17 campuses in Canada
and one in Qatar, CNA delivers
full and part-time programs to
20,000
students every year
People ask us all the time why we offer diplomas
and not degrees. It’s because many jobs require
specific expertise that you don’t get in a university
degree program. CNA-Q gives you the education
you need to qualify for those jobs right away.
Here’s why a CNA-Q diploma
works for you:
Find your place in Qatar’s economy
CNA-Q programs train you specifically
for top industries in Qatar
Graduate sooner
Diploma programs are often shorter than
degree programs
Be a leader in your field
Our programs are often the first – and
only – of their kind offered in Qatar
