Additional Admission Requirements:
  • Letter(s) of Reference
Students must acquire a Certificate of Conduct for admission into this program. Students are solely accountable for any offences not uncovered by the investigation which may preclude the student from subsequent work terms or employment. Students must also complete a GATB test administered by Academy Canada. Only GATB tests written within 12 months prior to the start of the program will be accepted, and the applicant will not be required to rewrite the test. However, this does not grant automatic admission into the program.
