Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology

At Ontario's colleges of applied arts and technology you will develop skills that will lead to a rewarding career in business, applied arts, technology, or health sciences.

Colleges offer a variety of full- and part-time career-oriented programs for secondary school graduates and for mature students who may not have completed secondary school.

Most college programs are either diploma programs (two or three years in length) or certificate programs (one year or less). Some courses of study lead to official certification in skilled trades that are regulated by professional associations.
