promotes quality education, therefore applicants will be
carefully selected and acceptance will be based on the
approval of the Admission’s Office.
Admission will be offered to students who fully meet
program requirements and qualifications. Students will be
considered for admission when all application materials
have been received by the Admissions office.

Applicants whose previous academic study was in a
language other than English must provide proof of

Regular attendance in all aspects of training is essential
for learner success as skill development and safety
requirements build progressively from day to day.
Students are expected to conform to policies as outlined
by Olds College. Failure to comply with all policies
including all applicable legislated and/or industry
accepted safety standards may result in removal from
the learning environment up to and including withdrawal
from the program.
