One-Year Certificate Program

This one-year certificate program is designed for students who are interested in the justice, legal, or law enforcement fields. The program prepares students for success in a variety of programs including Police Foundations, Community and Justice Services, and Law Clerk. Students explore their interests, aptitudes and skills, assess career choices, experience college delivery of course material, and generally prepare for further postsecondary studies.

Graduates of this one-year program are eligible to receive an Ontario College Certificate.

Some credits may be considered as transfer credits towards other college programs.
