ACE Program Information
The Adult Learning Centre and Northern College entered into a partnership in January of 2007 to deliver the ACE program in Iroquois Falls. We are also delivering LBS programming at the Northern College LBS site in Cochrane, preparing to bridge clients to the ACE program. ACE stands for Academic and Career Entrance Program.
What is ACE?
ACE is a Grade 12 equivalent college program. It prepares you for admission to a college post-secondary program or apprenticeship.
ACE is recognized as a Grade 12 equivalent by colleges and apprenticeship programs and for purpose of admission to post-secondary programming.
ACE courses are now available on-site and through blended delivery - a combination of web-based and on-site delivery.
