Academy of Learning is Canada’s largest network of career colleges with over 60 campuses across the country. You may choose from a number of locations, depending on the region of Canada you wish to experience, and where you prefer to study. Academy of Learning also has international locations in Australia, India and New Zealand.
Since the college opened in 1987, more than one million training courses have been taught to individuals interested in developing and upgrading their professional skills. We attribute the growth of our success by identifying the gap between the formal education available and the realities of the working world. We fulfill the needs of learners by developing customized programs for each student while meeting the requirements for convenient and effective training at an affordable cost.
The Academy of Learning system offers a unique approach to learning for its students, shifting away from teaching in the traditional lecture format to an on-site, facilitated, learning-by-doing method. This unique approach to training allows Academy of Learning to offer not only short effective certificate courses but also comprehensive vocational diploma programs. Flexible scheduling is possible using this systematic method of learning. Course enrolment is continuous; therefore, students can begin learning immediately and applying their newly developed skills.
Instruction is primarily through the Integrated Learning™ System (ILS), involving audio-visual presentation, proprietary course books, and competency-based exams. All program and course content is developed under the direction of the Academy of Learning Academic Division.

If a student requires assistance with English before and/or during their studies, Academy of Learning can assist with finding an ESL school that will meet your needs. ACADEMY OF LEARNING SUCCESS Since 1987, Academy of Learning has taught over one million training courses to individuals interested in developing their professional skills. We attribute the growth to our success in identifying the gap between the formal education available and the realities of the working world. We fulfill the needs of learners by developing customized programs for each student while meeting the requirements for convenient and effective training at an affordable cost. In 2000, Academy of Learning augmented the learning system by adopting “e-learning” technology as an extension of the Integrated Learning™ System, and introduced Academy Online. This allows internet-based delivery of Information Technology programs, such as the MCSE certification preparation program, to be taken at an Academy of Learning College. Academy Online programs involve written material, online instruction, audio lectures, and simulated labs. Books provided to students are official curriculum authorized by respective software suppliers, such as Microsoft. Supplier certified trainers, as applicable, facilitate the courses online through e-mail, chat room, bulletin board postings, and telephone support, as required. Many students obtain work in their area of training before they graduate due to the core skills obtained, their intent to continue their studies, and an aim to graduate while employed. Academy of Learning has over 500,000 graduates working in their chosen careers.
