Slate Training Centre is an approved post secondary institution that has been offering business programs for over a decade.  Our vision is to assist career minded individuals who need post secondary education to secure employment as an office professional.  Our students value our small class sizes, structured around instructor led and individualized learning.  This training approach allows the student to progress with knowledge and confidence, which will prepare them to be effective and efficient in their chosen field.  We are very proud of the fact that last year 99% of our students secured employment upon completion. 

In our program area you will find the diploma and certificate programs that we currently offer, along with information on the value of obtaining globally recognized certification, such as IC3 and Microsoft Office Specialist.  Depending on the type of training you are interested in, there are quite a wide variety of courses available within each program, such as MS Office applications, keyboarding, Administrative Procedures and Communication, medical terminology, manual accounting, and a variety of computerized accounting applications.  Recently, we have added Canadian Business English and Business Math to our curriculum to enhance the skill level of our graduates.

In reviewing the program outlines you will notice that we focus on two distinctive types of career training.  The first of these is our diploma programs which is an ideal choice for someone who has no office experience or post secondary education.  Secondly, we have certificate programs with the focus on business and computer skill upgrading. 

Below, I have summarized a list of key features that our post secondary institution offers to our students:

• Instructor led and individualized training
• Flexible training times
• Certified instructors
• Continuous enrollment
• 99% placement rate
• Various funding options available
• Approved Microsoft Office courseware with official IC3 and Microsoft Office certification
• Exclusive website access to supplement curriculum material
• Simulated business environment

Another feature offered by our school is advanced credit, which may be granted to individuals who possess knowledge in areas of a program’s curriculum.  This can be done through evaluating one’s skills, therefore; shortening the length of the program, along with the tuition costs.
