Diploma in Éducation en services à l'enfance (Apprentissage mixte - Toronto) is a diploma in Social Sciences & Education programme offered by La Cité Collégiale in Ottawa, Canada. The programme runs for 5 semesters, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 1,385 per semester (CAD 1,385 per semester for local students).
Offert à temps plein à Toronto selon un modèle hybride combinant cours en ligne et cours comodaux la fin de semaine, ce programme de deux ans forme des éducateurs capables d'accompagner les enfants de 0 à 12 ans. L'étudiant apprend à observer les étapes du développement, à cerner les besoins de l'enfant et à concevoir un programme éducatif qui stimule tous les aspects de son développement. Trois stages auprès de professionnels de la petite enfance complètent la formation théorique, et la reconnaissance des acquis permet aux candidats expérimentés d'accélérer l'obtention du diplôme.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: La Cité notes that a good knowledge of English is desirable because of the programme's workplace placements, but sets no test or score for this. A criminal record for which no pardon has been sought or obtained reduces the chance of securing a placement or later employment in the field. Before the practicum terms (steps 2 to 4), students need an up-to-date immunisation record, a police criminal-record check or proof of pardon, a Red Cross or St. John Ambulance general first-aid certificate, and a Level-C CPR certificate, both kept valid throughout the programme. Domestic Ontario applicants need the OSSD or equivalent, or, at 19 or over, a pass on La Cité's mature-applicant test; Quebec and New Brunswick applicants need their own provincial secondary diploma on the same mature-applicant basis.
