Computer Programming and Information Technology Certificate

This certificate programme teaches the computer skills and programming used in information technology, video game development and website design. It runs over one academic year at Portage College's Lac La Biche Campus, delivered through the college's Multi-Access Learning model, which lets students move between in-person and online instruction. The programme is open to both full-time and part-time students and holds Designated Learning Institution status for international applicants, whose graduates may be eligible for a post-graduation work permit. Course credit transfers to other Alberta post-secondary institutions, including Athabasca University, the University of Alberta and Concordia University of Edmonton. The programme has a single annual intake in August, with separate application deadlines for domestic and international applicants, and tuition is billed by term across the Fall and Winter terms of the academic year.
