Hello there!

I would like to encourage you to consider Holland College for your post-

secondary studies. I am an international student who came to Holland

College to study Electronics Engineering Technology. I have found the

experience to be rewarding and enriching, and have found myself

immersed in college life far more than I anticipated! My instructors have

been very helpful and have made me feel welcome, which can be very

important when you’re a long way from home. My classes are small, so

I have had the opportunity to get to know many of my classmates very

well, and am enjoying myself immensely. If you have any questions or

concerns about choosing Holland College, I urge you to contact the

helpful and friendly staff of Student Services.

I hope to see you here next fall!

Sincerely,

Eddy Zhakata

Degree Pathways

A Great Blend of College

and University!

Degree pathways such as articulation

agreements and transfer credits give you

the opportunity to begin your studies at one

institution and finish at another.

Holland College has more than 150

agreements with universities and other post-

secondary institutions across Canada, in the

U.S. and overseas. There are a variety of joint

applied degree programs and 2+2 programs

that enable you to earn a university degree

in as little as two years after you have your

Holland College diploma, along with other

agreements that can lead to certifications.

Apprenticeship Training

Apprenticeship training begins after you finish your program at Holland College and

are working full-time with a suitable employer. When you are working with a suitable

employer, you will register as an apprentice, and Apprenticeship PEI will give you credit for

the hours earned and block exams passed while you were at Holland College. Each trade

has a certain number of hours that an apprentice must complete before he or she can take

block training and move to up to the next level. Once you have completed the required

number of blocks and worked the required number of hours for your trade, you can earn

your Interprovincial Red Seal by completing an exam. An Interprovincial Red Seal, which

is the mark of excellence for your chosen trade and the designation most employers will

ask for, gives you the ability to work anywhere in Canada. The most successful path to an

Interprovincial Red Seal begins with a full-time Holland College program.

For more information about apprenticeship training in P.E.I., visit apprenticeship.pe.ca.

This information pertains to P.E.I. only. For apprenticeship in other provinces, visit the

apprenticeship branch of the provincial government for that province.

Distance

Education

Programs that offer a distance education

option give students who cannot attend

classes on campus the opportunity to

continue their education via the Internet,

off-site at your home or office, or by a

combination of delivery methods such as a

blend of classroom time and online learning.

If you are unable to relocate to attend classes

or are working full time but would still like to

upgrade your skills, these programs may be

just what you need.

Accreditation

Accredited programs are recognized across

Canada as having met national academic

standards. If you are planning to work

elsewhere in Canada, a diploma from a

nationally accredited program will ensure

that you receive full credit for your training

regardless of where you settle.
