Program details
Overview
Open to those who have completed the related certificate, this diploma continues preparation for more specialized work in the human service field, introducing further helping strategies for assisting individuals or groups with varied needs. As with the certificate, learning centers on hands-on practicum placements across community agencies, giving students the chance to apply classroom theory directly and build readiness for employment.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Human Service Worker Diploma is College of the Rockies' second-year credential built on the HSWR Certificate; its own outline requires secondary-school graduation or equivalent plus a grade of at least C+ (65%) in one of English Studies 12, English First Peoples 12 or ENGL090. The diploma-year outline does not restate separate non-academic or international-test conditions, so College of the Rockies' general English-proficiency requirement governs applicants whose first language is not English — TOEFL iBT 80, IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 6.0, CAEL-CE 60, or PTE Academic 56, or an accepted English-12-level course combined with sufficient years of English-medium schooling — per the college's own admission requirements, while the certificate year's non-academic conditions (CYFS application package, immunizations, criminal record check) continue to apply to students progressing through the combined program.
