Hello there!
I would like to encourage you to consider Holland College for your post-
secondary studies. I am an international student who came to Holland
College to study Electronics Engineering Technology. I have found the
experience to be rewarding and enriching, and have found myself
immersed in college life far more than I anticipated! My instructors have
been very helpful and have made me feel welcome, which can be very
important when you’re a long way from home. My classes are small, so
I have had the opportunity to get to know many of my classmates very
well, and am enjoying myself immensely. If you have any questions or
concerns about choosing Holland College, I urge you to contact the
helpful and friendly staff of Student Services.
I hope to see you here next fall!
Sincerely,
Eddy Zhakata

Degree Pathways
A Great Blend of College
and University!
Degree pathways such as articulation
agreements and transfer credits give you
the opportunity to begin your studies at one
institution and finish at another.
Holland College has more than 150
agreements with universities and other post-
secondary institutions across Canada, in the
U.S. and overseas. There are a variety of joint
applied degree programs and 2+2 programs
that enable you to earn a university degree
in as little as two years after you have your
Holland College diploma, along with other
agreements that can lead to certifications.
Apprenticeship Training
Apprenticeship training begins after you finish your program at Holland College and
are working full-time with a suitable employer. When you are working with a suitable
employer, you will register as an apprentice, and Apprenticeship PEI will give you credit for
the hours earned and block exams passed while you were at Holland College. Each trade
has a certain number of hours that an apprentice must complete before he or she can take
block training and move to up to the next level. Once you have completed the required
number of blocks and worked the required number of hours for your trade, you can earn
your Interprovincial Red Seal by completing an exam. An Interprovincial Red Seal, which
is the mark of excellence for your chosen trade and the designation most employers will
ask for, gives you the ability to work anywhere in Canada. The most successful path to an
Interprovincial Red Seal begins with a full-time Holland College program.
For more information about apprenticeship training in P.E.I., visit apprenticeship.pe.ca.
This information pertains to P.E.I. only. For apprenticeship in other provinces, visit the
apprenticeship branch of the provincial government for that province.
Distance
Education
Programs that offer a distance education
option give students who cannot attend
classes on campus the opportunity to
continue their education via the Internet,
off-site at your home or office, or by a
combination of delivery methods such as a
blend of classroom time and online learning.
If you are unable to relocate to attend classes
or are working full time but would still like to
upgrade your skills, these programs may be
just what you need.
Accreditation
Accredited programs are recognized across
Canada as having met national academic
standards. If you are planning to work
elsewhere in Canada, a diploma from a
nationally accredited program will ensure
that you receive full credit for your training
regardless of where you settle.
