The Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) program is designed for adults seeking to obtain an ACE Certificate without having graduated from high school.
The ACE Certificate is recognized by colleges and admissions offices as the equivalent to having completed grade 12. A number of employers are now recognizing the ACE Certificate as the equivalent to a high school diploma.
The Academic and Career Entrance (ACE) program is a continual intake program. That means you can enrol anytime!
To pass, participants must obtain a minimum of 70% in each course. Statistics show that, on average, ACE graduates pass college classes with a 3.2 grade point average (B+).
Full time students (17 hours per week) can register for one postsecondary course per semester, at no charge. This allows students to explore a field of study.
Participants benefit from a customized training program (full-time or part-time), ongoing registration, and all the services offered at Collège Boréal (sports centre, tutoring, special needs, resource centre, computer labs, student services, etc.). The learning material is free and financial aid to cover transportation fees is available to those who qualify.
We highly recommend ACE student enrol in self-management and computer classes.
This program is offered in all 24 Ontario colleges.
These courses are also available online.
