Overview
Vancouver Community College (VCC) can date its origins back to 1965 when it brought together the Vancouver School of Art, Vancouver Vocational Institute, the Vancouver School Board's Night School Program, Continuing Education Centre, and the King Edward Senior Matriculation.
Vancouver Community College offers courses for students of all levels. Programmes are available in academic upgrading, apprenticeship training, business, baking, and culinary, design, hair and esthetics, health science, hospitality, instructor training, music and dance, sign language, technology, university transfer, transportation trades, as well as courses for students with disabilities.
Vancouver Community College enrols over 15,000 students every year and has three campuses - the East Broadway's Broadway campus, Dunsmuir and Hamilton, the Downtown campus, and Annacis Island's Annacis Campus.
The College helps students be job-ready by learning industry-relevant academic skills from qualified experts and small classes ensure students have enough time to interact with the faculty and peers.
Tuition fees at the college are the lowest among the B.C public institutions, even offering free tutoring services by professionals.
VCC credits can be transferred to another educational institute in Canada. Students can secure great jobs, qualify for a work permit, and enhance their English and job skills.
