NorQuest Bridging to Post-Secondary provides an opportunity to students who need additional English language or academic upgrading courses to fully meet admission requirements for a post-secondary program.

NorQuest Bridging students will:

  •     Receive a conditional offer of admission to their target post-secondary program and be able to reserve a seat in the target program
  •     Work closely with an advisor to design a personalized education plan
  •     Have up to four terms of study to meet the conditions of their admission by completing English as a Second Language (ESL) Intensive or Academic Upgrading courses at NorQuest College
  •     Be able to take select courses in their post-secondary program prior to full admission
  •     Take skill development courses to promote academic success

Students in this stream will bridge into the Environmental Protection Technology college diploma. Environmental Protection Technologists provide an invaluable service to society by helping protect and sustain the long-term health of our ecosystems. This two-year diploma program will prepare students for technical work in the environmental sector.

Students will gain the practical knowledge and skills needed to offer professional advice on a wide range of subjects, including environmental impact assessment; hazardous and non-hazardous waste management; waste reduction and reuse strategies; air, soil, and water pollution prevention and monitoring; compliance auditing; and contaminated site investigation and remediation. This skill set is based on an integrated, hands-on training program that gives graduates a good working knowledge of physical and life sciences, including general biology, ecology, toxicology, chemistry, physics, and statistics.

The program will be offered on campus and will include hands-on training in both laboratory and field settings. Students will also have the option of participating in a co-operative work term. Following completion of the program, students will receive a Diploma in Environmental Protection and be eligible for designation as a certified technologist or technician.
