Educational Assistant courses provide an opportunity for working professionals in the education sector, or those with an interest in the field, to develop knowledge and skills students while earning college credits. Students may complete one or several courses in areas of interest, or they may complete program requirements part-time over two or more years to graduate with a certificate.
Please Note: Regardless of courses completed, students must meet EA program admission requirements, including High School Diploma, Adult High School Diploma, GED Diploma of High School Equivalency, or Essential Skills Achievement Pathway: Post-Secondary Entry High School Diploma. Students must submit proof of one of these recognitions to ContinuingED@nbcc.ca prior to completion of their first course. All program courses, including all practicums, must be successfully completed for graduation. (Individuals for whom English is not a first language may need to meet NBCC language requirements.)
Online Educational Assistant courses follow a schedule and must be completed in the allotted time.
Register at least five (5) business days before a course starts.
Take up to two courses at a time to complete all requirements by June 2024.
