Kinesiologists have important 'prior learning' experiences. Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) at Ontario College measures and recognizes learning that is equal to college level learning.If you can demonstrate that the knowledge you have gained meets the outcomes of a Ontario College subject, credit will be awarded. That will allow you to take only the subjects you really need to complete the diploma. Students submit college or university transcripts. Specific course syllabuses or course outlines are requested by Ontario College based on the transcripts. There is a $100.00 fee for the Prior Learning Assessment.  The $100.00 fee will be deducted from the first tuition payment.

Police Foundations Program

This 11 month diploma program is the first step in a career in policing in Ontario. Police Foundations is of interest to those who aspire to become Police Constables and Corrections Officers. Many colleges offer the teaching components of the Police Prep (PATI, WCT, PREP and B-PAD) and help students successfully pass the testing that is required to receive their "Applicant Testing Certificate". This is only the 1st of 12 steps in the process. Most candidates will fail to reach the 12th step or even come close and will not know why they were unsuccessful. Applicants may fail at the Development or Essential Competencies interviews because these interviews can last up to 4 hours. At the Ontario College, we work with our students to have them prepare, practice, rehearse, refine and perfect the material they need to succeed in all 12 crucial steps. Understanding the system and preparing for the entire process positions the applicant for greater success.
