college prepArAtionCONTACTSandy Codeiro | p 780 471.8534

OvERvIEWCollege Preparation courses follow the Alberta Learning High School curriculum with the exception of the computer, qual-ity studies, and mathematics courses. College Preparation computer courses have been developed within NAIT, and the mathematics courses follow the for-mer mathematics curriculum for Math-ematics 13, 23, 33 and 30. The focus is primarily on grade twelve courses in Mathematics, English, Biology, Chemis-try, Physics and Social Studies.

The College Preparation program is not an accredited high school program. This means that students do not receive Al-berta Learning course credits towards an Alberta Learning diploma. Diploma examinations are not required to obtain credit for these courses for entry into programs at NAIT and most other post secondary colleges and technical institu-tions in Alberta. Students wishing to en-ter a university should confirm with their desired university to ensure that College Preparation courses are transferable.

Students may select as many courses as they wish, providing they have the required prerequisites. Three courses are generally considered to be a full aca-demic load for a semester.

ORIENTATIONStudents will be assigned to appropriate classes and lab time after registering. In-dividual timetables will be distributed at the orientation.

Location: NAIT Main Campus, Shaw Theatre, Room X123.

SPRING SEMESTER

Date: Friday, May 2, 2008

You can pick up your section information between 10:30 am and 10:55 am. The presentation will start at 11:00. This is where you will get your timetable, book list and other important information.

PROGRAM MODEL/COMPLETION REQUIREMENTSUpon successful completion of their Col-lege Preparation courses, students have an opportunity to enter their desired program of studies in the subsequent semester. Acceptance to a program of studies depends upon early applica-tion, meeting the prerequisites, obtain-ing competitive grades, preparation of a career investigation and whether the desired program is offered.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTSApplicants usually require the standard high school prerequisites. Students with-out the formal prerequisites should speak with the Academic Advisor in room J213.

DELIvERY OPTIONSMost courses are offered in the tradi-tional lecture-laboratory format. Evening Math 13/23/33 courses are offered on a guided self-paced basis using text-based materials and/or a computer managed learning format. Visit www.nait.ca/dis-tancelearning for information.

The flexibility of courses offered and the method of delivery is being expanded each semester. Please inquire to obtain up to date information about additional courses and methods of course delivery offered.

Pre-Engineering Courses are offered in the spring and may be taken in combina-tion with College Preparation courses.

ADDITIONAL FEES & ExPENSES

Books and supplies typically range from $100 to $150 per course.

OvERvIEWThe Bachelor of Applied Business Ad-ministration - Accounting is a four se-mester post-diploma Applied Degree. An applied degree is a credential developed by Alberta Learning in response to a need to prepare Albertans for the changing economy. This degree offers graduates of eligible Diploma programs at NAIT, SAIT, and Alberta colleges the opportu-nity to develop the advanced accounting expertise and management skills needed in the expanding and demanding field of managing financial operations.

PROGRAM DETAILS

PROGRAM MODEL/COMPLETION REqUIREMENTS

Following the completion of a two-year (four terms) Business Diploma, the stu-dent will complete an additional two years (four terms) of studies. The pro-gram consists of two academic terms and two Directed Field Studies (DFS) terms which are completed while employed in a paid full-time accounting position. The student is responsible, with advice from the program and NAIT Student Career Services, for procuring employment in the accounting field during these terms.

Students who have completed course work required in the degree program prior to entering the program may receive Ad-vanced Credit. If such a course was part of the pre-requisite two-year Diploma, additional electives will be required.

This unique combination of classroom training (ten courses) and on-the-job training (two directed field study terms ) offers students both advanced courses in accounting and practical, structured work experience. NAIT students can also progress through the Certified General Accountants (CGA) program of profes-sional studies, or take senior courses within the pre-professional program of studies for the Society of Management Accountants (CMA).

PROGRAM FORMAT

The Applied Degree in Accounting can be earned through a combination of full-time studies and part-time evening classes. Students can complete the two academic semesters as part-time Con-tinuing Education students. The combi-nation of part-time academic studies and full-time, paid field studies enables stu-dents to be employed in the workforce throughout their entire Degree Program.

DFS TERM

During each DFS term the student will be enrolled in five DFS courses designed to link the academic courses to relevant employment experience through the preparation and presentation of papers and attendance at residency sessions.

The residency sessions will be held twice each term, normally at the end of the second month and the end of the fourth month of the term, usually from Wednes-day evening through Saturday evening, and will require the student be away from the workplace during that time. At each session, each student will give two presentations based on the two papers they have prepared and submitted prior to the residency session, and the student will participate in a group case culminat-ing in a group presentation. The residency sessions normally take place at the NAIT Main campus and meals and refreshment breaks are included. Prior to each resi-dency session, we will confirm times and locations by email. Instructors from the faculty will work closely with the student as they complete the DFS requirements.

All communication between students and instructors during the term will be by Ookmail. At least a month prior to the be-ginning of the DFS Semester in which you intend to enroll, you must contact the As-sociate Chair regarding your intention. If it has been more than six months since you last attended a full-time semester, you will be required to submit to the office of the NAIT Registrar an “Application for admis-sion to NAIT full-time programs.”

During each DFS term, the student must also be employed on a full-time basis in a paid accounting or accounting-related job. You must provide us by email your employment information: name and ad-dress of employer, name and position of supervisor, your position, and telephone, fax and email addresses for you and your supervisor. Each student will be assigned to a ‘mentor’ instructor. The student will arrange for this instructor to make a site visit to the student’s place of em-ployment during the first three weeks of Semester 6. We will inform you of your mentor and send you contact informa-tion by email and WebCT. NAIT requires a three-party agreement signed by you, your employer and NAIT. The document will be signed when the mentor visits the student at their workplace.

PROGRAM LENGTH

OvERvIEWThe management of financial resources and the provision of management infor-mation continues to assume greater im-portance as business and management techniques become more complex.

The objectives of the program are to provide the student with a good working knowledge of accounting and informa-tion systems, and the accountant’s role in those systems: familiarity with computer applications in business, capability in the use of quantitative analysis techniques and the ability to derive meaningful rela-tionships in financial data.

The Accounting program provides prac-tical, specialized training, enabling the student to operate in business with com-petence, whether utilizing handwritten books or computerized systems. The special training is balanced with courses designed to provide the student with suf-ficient managerial training to move into supervisory positions.

OvERvIEWThe Management Diploma is for those students who see themselves eventually in a key role in business, industry and gov-ernment organizations. These students see a career in leadership roles in business where they are capable of taking charge and accepting the challenge of being ac-countable and responsible for their deci-sions. Students develop an understanding of modern business dynamics, effectively fit into culturally diverse organizations, learn to work under pressure and develop strong leadership skills. The program will also appeal to those who have academic credentials such as degrees or diplomas in non-management areas and wish to gain additional certification as well as job re-lated skills in this field.

Students choose the Management Di-ploma to get the skills they need for those entry level management positions which opens the doors for advancement to se-nior level management within the organi-zation. These students know they will be pursuing more education beyond the di-ploma level to advance their careers and the program provides the foundations for those opportunities for life long learning. The program provides transferability to degree programs and professional desig-nations after graduation.

The capstone course in this diploma is the Strategic Management courses. A key component of this specialization is the Business Management Simulation Game, a sophisticated simulation where students make decisions requiring them to bring together all aspects of business operation from the area of accounting, finance and marketing to make management deci-sions in a competitive environment. The game makes the program unique as it is the only simulation of this sophistication at any diploma level in Canada.

OvERvIEWWhat you will get with a Marketing edu-cation? Each time you make a purchase or utilize a service, the principles of mar-keting are used. Marketing influences your choice of hair salon, restaurant, and even the television programs you watch. Marketers are continually in pursuit of fulfilling customer needs and satisfying customers. Your resume is part of your Marketing program to sell yourself to an employer. Marketing management means more than selling and advertising. It includes product and service delivery, pricing, value creation, logistics manage-ment, as well as management of people, processes and services.

Is this program for you? A career in mar-keting offers some of the most diverse challenges in the job world. You’ve heard it before opportunity abounds; you can do anything if you put your mind to it. This is especially true in marketing. Best of all, a career in marketing is anything but a desk job.

The common denominator among all business disciplines is the need for peo-ple with strong interpersonal skills. Suc-cessful business people have discipline and a strong work ethic, they are creative, innovative and they behave ethically. Marketing will help you become success-ful in whatever industry you choose.

Who will succeed in the Marketing Pro-gram? Good grades are important, but commitment to success is paramount. If you work well with others, are innovative and tenacious, communicate well, and enjoy working in a dynamic environment then Marketing is for you.

The two thematic mantel pieces of the program will be the influences of the profound and interactive notion of the personal world and positions in conflict conditions. This view is based on bring-ing an interactive dimension to conflict resolution. Humans do not enter into conflict alone or entirely through exter-nal influences or reactions.

Students will be expected to enter into practice and application of the concepts you learn by participating in case exam-ples, exercises and role plays.

OvERvIEWInformation is a key asset of any organi-zation. Companies need to manage their information assets in order to grow and even survive in today’s competitive mar-kets. Issues such as the increased use of electronic records, constant advances in technology and globalization of the mar-ket economy have created significant challenges to the field of records and in-formation management.

Information access and privacy policies are also key issues within any company. Information management professionals must not only be able to manage infor-mation throughout its life cycle, but also to identify and manage its role in the or-ganization’s ability to meet its strategic goals. Managing the flow of information from its creation, use and eventual dis-position is crucial to the success of any organization and is the role of the infor-mation management professional.

Today’s records and information man-agers possess a number of technical, management and organizational skills in addition to the more traditional records and information management skills. They must be able to understand and integrate today’s information technology with past, present and future record keeping requirements. Further, they must be able to identify and analyze the impact of fu-ture business trends, strategic planning, and new business relationships have on current records and information man-agement processes. This requires many skills, specific knowledge and manage-ment techniques to achieve successfully.

Today’s companies live and die by the value of their intellectual capital. Those who manage this capital well will survive; those who do not, will not. The competi-tive advantage goes to the organizations that recognize the value of their informa-tion assets and recognize the need for trained records and information manage-ment professionals to manage those as-sets successfully.

Participants in this eRecords and Infor-mation Management Certificate program may include the following:

administrative assistants• records clerks• executive secretaries• office administrators• office managers• clerical staff• other administrative professionals•

OvERvIEWProfessional financial advisors and indi-viduals responsible for preserving wealth need to continually update their knowl-edge of the broad range of financial instru-ments available. Insurance agents, real estate agents, stockbrokers, accountants, and tax lawyers typically focus on one area of an individual’s financial picture. On the other hand, generalist financial planners take a broad-based approach to provide comprehensive financial advice and as-sistance to their clients.

The Personal Financial Planning Cer-tificate Program, offered by ADVOCIS (merger of CAIFA and CAFP) in partner-ship with NAIT, provides training in all of the diverse areas needed to become a financial planning practitioner. In ad-dition, it allows those who have previ-ously focused their careers on one area of investment advice, to broaden their scope, build upon their prior professional experience, and expand the breadth and value of their services. The program, in whole or in part, may also be of value to those individuals who simply want a better understanding of the increasingly complex financial world, and wish to gain the knowledge that will enable them to structure their financial affairs to best suit their needs and objectives.

The certificate program consists of four comprehensive courses recognized by the FPSC (Financial Planners Standards Coun-cil), developed by ADVOCIS and offered, in partnership, with NAIT’s Continuing Education Department. The courses are delivered in thirteen-week semesters and students are expected to spend an additional six to eight hours per week in self-study. Students are not encouraged to take more than one course/semester as course content is relatively sequential.

CERTIFICATIONNAIT Certificate in Financial Planning

Note: This certificate will qualify a stu-dent to register with the Financial Plan-ners Standards Council to challenge its professional national exam towards the CFP designation. This exam is adminis-tered twice a year, in November and June. http://www.cfp-ca.org/

NAIT does not award the CFP and CER-TIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER designa-tion. The right to use the marks CFPTM and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLAN-NERTM and logo is granted under licence by FPSC to those persons who have met its educational standards, passed the FPSC Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Examination, satisfied a work experience requirement and agreed to abide by FPSC Code of Ethics.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTSLife skills and work experience may be substituted for prerequisites when not pursuing a designation. For additional information, please contact the Program Coordinator at 780.471.7836.

OvERvIEWAPICS’ internationally recognized cer-tification programs, Certified in Inte-grated Resource Management (CIRM) and Certified in Production and Inven-tory Management (CPIM), are known globally as standards of competence in business and manufacturing.

APICS’ certification programs open the door to job opportunities and career ad-vancement. According to the 1999 APICS Salary Survey, respondents with CPIM or CIRM credentials earned 15 to 23 percent more than non-certified professionals.

In addition, more internet-savvy manu-facturing companies are demanding APICS certification on applicant re-sumes. On one internet job search site, the majority of manufacturing jobs re-quest APICS certification!

PROGRAM MODEL/COMPLETION REQUIREMENTSThe CPIM and CIRM programs special-ize in results-oriented education, which means that students will walk away with more than the professional credentials they have earned. They will learn to ap-ply what they have learned in their own job, giving themselves enhanced credibil-ity and recognition as a valued resource within the company. All five courses (APIC101, APIC103, APIC110, APIC115, APIC116) are required for CPIM certifica-tion and are offered to prepare students to write the certification exam. The cost of writing the certification exam is not covered in the cost of the courses.

NAIT does not issue a Program Certificate for these courses. To attain the profes-sional designation CPIM (Certification in Production and Inventory Management), students must write and pass five APICS certification exams. Further information is available on APICS’s website: www.apics.edmonton.ab.ca or www.apics.org.

Argentine wine dates back to the middle of the 16th Century when the country was colonized by Spain. Export of Ar-gentine wines didn’t take place until the 1990s, however they continue to grow in popularity. Due to recent economic de-velopments, the quality of the wine has increased and the prices have decreased pushing exports even further. The result — causing increased interest in wine tourism in this country. Argentina is the largest wine producer in South America and 5th largest in the world.

ADvOCISThe Personal Financial Planning Cer-tificate Program, offered by ADVOCIS (merger of CAIFA and CAFP) in partner-ship with NAIT, provides training in all of the diverse areas needed to become a financial planning practitioner. In ad-dition, it allows those who have previ-ously focused their careers on one area of investment advice, to broaden their scope, build upon their prior professional experience, and expand the breadth and value of their services. The program, in whole or in part, may also be of value to those individuals who simply want a better understanding of the increasingly complex financial world, and wish to gain the knowledge that will enable them to structure their financial affairs to best suit their needs and objectives. This program will qualify a student to register with the Financial Planners Standards Council to challenge its professional national exam towards the CFP designation. This exam is administered twice a year, in Novem-ber and June. www.cfp-ca.org.

ALBERTA LAND SURvEYORS’ ASSOCIATION (ALSA)The Alberta Land Surveyors’ Association is a self-governing professional associa-tion legislated under the Land Surveyors Act. The Association regulates the prac-tice of land surveying for the protection of the public and administration of the profession.

As a self-governing body, the Association follows a number of procedures, usually established through legislation, to ensure that the public’s interest is protected.

Alberta Land Surveyors are Geomatics Professionals. They apply their educa-tional skills to a wide variety of surveying disciplines. Land Surveyors are involved in oil field work, land-use planning and development and in other related activi-ties involving determination of property boundaries or assembly and analysis of land related information.

If you are interested in becoming a Land Surveyor in Alberta you must first receive a Certificate of Completion from the Canadian Board of Examiners for Profes-sional Surveyors (CBEPS). NAIT Geomat-ics Engineering graduates currently earn exemptions towards 6 of the 13 exami-nations required to earn the Certificate of Completion. This is the highest num-ber of exemptions provided to any two year Geomatics educational program in Canada. Upon receiving a Certificate of Completion, a person is eligible to article to an Alberta Land Surveyor.

NAIT also offers weekend courses that prepare student for remaining examina-tions (GET71 and GET81). More of these courses are being planned.

The current NAIT Geomatics Engineer-ing Instructional staff are members. The Association and NAIT work together to promote excellence in the Geomatics En-gineering profession.

The Alberta Land Surveyors’ Association provides a $1,250 annual scholarship to a NAIT Geomatics Engineering student entering their second year. This award is based on academic achievement.

Inquiries about the Alberta Land Survey-ors’ Association should be directed to:
