Program details

Overview

This certificate focuses on strategies for assisting individuals or groups with a range of needs, built around extensive hands-on practicum placements across a variety of community agencies that let students apply classroom theory directly. A second-year diploma option is available for those who want to continue toward more specialized work in the human service field.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Human Service Worker Certificate at College of the Rockies requires a grade of at least C+ (65%) in one of English Studies 12, English First Peoples 12 or ENGL090. Several non-academic conditions also apply: applicants submit a completed CYFS Application Package, complete required immunizations documented on the admission package's immunization form or sign an Immunization Waiver Form — noting that missing immunizations can limit access to practicum placements and post-graduation employment — demonstrate a good command of oral and written English, and pass a Solicitor General criminal record check, since a criminal conviction may also affect practicum and employment access. The program page publishes no separate international test scores; applicants whose first language is not English are therefore subject to College of the Rockies' general English-proficiency requirement — TOEFL iBT 80, IELTS Academic 6.0, CAEL-CE 60 or PTE Academic 56 — per the college's own admission requirements.
