Reputation matters
U of A’s Online and Continuing Education is widely regarded among business and government leaders for its ability to provide professional education that responds to the evolving industry needs.

The teachers were excellent and very helpful.
A rigorous curriculum delivered by excellent instructors.


The ICIR program is outstanding. A real model of what lifelong learning can be.

All of the courses can be related to different tasks that are required in the profession. I would recommend the OHS program to anyone interested in a job in health and safety.


This is the best program for professionals working in municipal government.
