Description
Brush up on your skills to ace your future. The Academic and Career Entrance (ACE) program is a high school equivalency program for adult learners. It is delivered in class by Ontario’s community colleges and online by the College Sector Committee for Academic Upgrading through ACE Distance. The ACE program offers core and optional courses in communications, mathematics, the sciences, computers, and self-management/self-direction.
ACE courses can be used to:
- meet college and apprenticeship program-specific admission requirements;
- earn the ACE Certificate, a grade 12 equivalency; and
- refresh academic skills.
Whether you’re looking to earn your high school equivalency or the prerequisites for a specific college program, Academic Upgrading offers support and services to:
improve your communication, computer, and study skills
develop your project and time management skills
acquire job-specific skills
become a happier and more confident learner overall
Our services are free* and ready when you are. Start anytime – even in summer.*
Our timetables accommodate work and family needs. You may even qualify for transportation and childcare support.
We’ll evaluate your current level in math, communications, and computers. Within a few weeks you’ll be in a classroom with other adult learners, getting one-on-one coaching and feedback, and working independently on your own custom curriculum.
