IC ONS Look for these icons on the program description pages throughout this publication. They give you additional information about the program and its career pathways and alert you to graduate opportunities.

D E G R E E PAT H WAYS A great blend of college and university! Degree pathways such as articulation agreements and transfer credits give you the opportunity to begin your studies at one institution and finish at another.

Holland College has more than 150 agreements with universities and other post-secondary institutions across Canada, in the U.S. and overseas. These articulation agreements give you the opportunity to earn a university degree in as little as two years after you have your Holland College diploma.

ACC R E D I T E D P R O G R A M Accredited programs are recognized across Canada as having met national academic standards. If you are planning to work in Canada, a diploma from a nationally accredited program will ensure that you receive full credit for your training regardless of where you go.

D I S TA N C E E D U C AT I O N Programs that offer a distance education option give students who cannot attend classes on campus the opportunity to continue their education via the Internet, off-site in their home or office, or by a combination of delivery methods such as a blend of classroom time and online learning. If you are unable to relocate to attend college, or are working full time but would still like to upgrade your skills, one of these programs may be just what you need.

APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING Apprenticeship training begins after you finish your program at Holland College and are working full-time with a suitable employer. When you are working with a suitable employer, you register as an apprentice, and Apprenticeship PEI gives you credit for the hours earned and block exams passed while you were at Holland College. Each trade has a certain number of hours an apprentice must complete before he or she can take block training and move to up to the next level. Once you have completed the required number of blocks and worked the required number of hours for your trade, you can earn your Interprovincial Red Seal by passing an exam. An Interprovincial Red Seal, which is the mark of excellence and the designation most employers will ask for, gives you the ability to work anywhere in Canada. The most successful path to an Interprovincial Red Seal begins with a full-time Holland College program.

For more information about apprenticeship training in P.E.I. visit apprenticeship.pe.ca. For information on apprenticeship training in other provinces, visit the apprenticeship branch of the provincial government for that province.

GO!

G R A D UAT E O P P O R T U N I T I E S Graduate opportunities for each program are identified with the GO! icon.

“Learn with passion. Defend with courage.

Serve with honour.”

Since the Atlantic Police Academy (APA), a division of Holland College, opened its doors in 1971, thousands of law enforcement professionals, firefighters, and correctional officers have received the training they needed to enter and remain in the field. In addition to the Police Science (Cadet) program, the APA offers Basic Firefighting, Conservation Enforcement, Corrections, and Sheriff and Public Safety programs.

All programs at the Atlantic Police Academy have mandatory residential requirements. The residential environment serves as a training lab, providing experiential learning that would not be possible if students only interacted with one another in an instructional setting. Residence life allows students to develop skills in teamwork, problem solving, time management and communications, and allows for the development of gender and cross-cultural sensitivity, which are essential to a successful career in the public safety community.

The Basic Firefighting program is in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association Standard (NFPA1001) for fire service professional qualifications.

The program is accredited by the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC); and by the Canadian Forces College Opportunities Program.

The program has partnerships with the P.E.I. Firefighters Association and the city of Fredericton Fire Department training centers.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS §§ Minimum Grade 12 or equivalent with credits at or above the general level §§ Age 18 by program start date §§ Must hold a valid driver’s license (Students holding restricted or graduated licenses must abide by the conditions of this license, regardless of Holland College training.) §§ Completion of Immunization Verification Form §§ Vision Exam §§ Criminal Record Check (Vulnerable Sector) with no findings of guilt §§ Physical Fitness Test set out by the Course Standard which will be conducted at the Atlantic Police Academy prior to course start date.
