TRAINING PROGRAMS

 

Bredin Institute – Centre for Learning is a leader in understanding the connection between career advancement and professional development!  Our multi-disciplinary team of professionals are continually developing new Training Programs to assist you in progressing forward within your career momentum.

 

Our innovative Training Programs bridge the gap for internationally trained professionals in meeting the necessary Canadian standards and acquiring the obligatory licensure to practice Veterinary Medicine, Engineering and Pharmacy in Alberta.

 

We are in the business of building futures, so staying current on Alberta’s occupational trends is important to us.  Our no-cost pre-apprenticeship training programs were specifically developed to meet Alberta’s forecasted growth of 1.8% to 2.8% each year from 2005 to 2010 in the construction industry (Source: Alberta Employment and Immigration).

 

Being cognisant of our ever-changing health-care environment has led to partnering with the Alberta Government to provide an integrated health care aide training program.

 

We strive to be the best because we want the best service for our clients!  Program feedback consistently confirms our corporate culture of being one that is caring and supportive.  We ensure the success of all our students by providing unlimited support during and after a training program.  Our highly qualified Instructors bring both knowledge and practical experience to the classroom; Employment Developers, Employment Counsellors and Case Managers assist our students and our graduates in striking a balance between work and personal lives.

 

Let Bredin Institute – Centre for Learning enhance your competitiveness within the labour market!
