The Government of Alberta has released the new Private Career College Registry, which offers a comprehensive look at licensed vocational training programs and their license status. Prospective and current students can use the registry to view key details such as program names, duration, cost, and location, as well as whether the program’s license is active, suspended, or on a stop order. “Private career colleges play an important role in Alberta’s adult learning system, and they offer a diversity of learning approaches and vocational training,” explained AB Minister of Advanced Education Rajan Sawhney. “Unfortunately, there are also some bad actors, and it is our responsibility to ensure students are not taken advantage of and are spending their hard-earned money on high-quality educational experiences.”
