Academic Pathway - College Diploma - Web Developer (Co-op) Transfer to North Island College

Tamwood Careers students who want to further their international education at a Canadian public college or university have the option to apply to one of their academic pathway partners for admission with advanced standing. Tamwood has entered into articulation agreements with several institutions in Canada that allow for a block transfer of courses from Tamwood Careers to the college/university.

By joining a Tamwood Careers program, students will save on tuition fees and enjoy more free time while studying at one of their partner institutions.

Reasons to take the Academic Pathway program:

• Become Eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit
  Students who graduate from Tamwood Careers into a public college or university and complete their studies on a full-time basis are eligible for a post-graduate work permit which allows them to stay and work in Canada for up to three years post-graduation
• Obtain Two Credentials
  By starting their program at Tamwood Careers and then transferring into a public college or university students will finish with two credentials – a certificate or diploma from Tamwood Careers and a diploma or degree from one of Tamwood's pathway partner institutions.
• Gain Admission with a Lower English Level
  Tamwood Careers has a lower admission requirement with respect to English language skills than its pathway partners so students can start studying in their preferred program at Tamwood Careers and upgrade theirr English skills while studying through an English program at Tamwood Language Centres.
