Why this format suits adults
| Six weeks, not a semester | A full 1.0 credit course of 110 scheduled hours, finished in six weeks. You know the finish date before you pay. |
| One course at a time | You are never carrying four subjects at once. Adults with jobs and families can plan around one. |
| Entirely online | All 26 courses run fully online in every session. Selected English, mathematics and computer studies courses also run in class at the Vaughan campus if you would rather be supervised in person. |
| Work when you can | The work is scheduled by week, not by the hour. Roughly 20 hours a week for five weeks and 10 in the final week, arranged around your own timetable. |
| Six start dates a year | You are never waiting for September. Sessions begin in September, November, January, March, May and July. |
Which of these is you?
You left school without the diploma and now need it. As a mature student, aged 18 or over, much of what you already know can be recognised rather than repeated. Under Ontario policy up to 16 Grade 9 and 10 credits can be granted through equivalency, and up to 10 of the 14 Grade 11 and 12 credits through equivalency or challenge.
What is left is four Grade 11 and 12 compulsory credits that have to be earned. We offer every one of them:
English Grade 11 (ENG3U) · English Grade 12 (ENG4U) · Mathematics Grade 11 or 12 (MCR3U, MHF4U, MCV4U or MDM4U) · one of Computer Studies or Science (ICS3U, ICS4U, or any of our six science courses)
Four courses, four sessions, under a year. Start with the assessment: we will map what you already have against what you still need before you pay for anything.
Practical nursing, paramedic, medical laboratory and similar programmes ask for Grade 11 or 12 biology and chemistry. They accept university preparation courses where they list college preparation, which is why our courses work for these applications.
Biology SBI3U or SBI4U · Chemistry SCH3U or SCH4U · English ENG4U · Mathematics MCR3U
Requirements differ between colleges and between programmes, and competitive programmes rank applicants on grades. Send us the programme page and we will check it against your record before you enrol.
Your qualifications may be strong but a Canadian admissions office wants to see Canadian secondary courses in English, mathematics or science. Rather than repeating years of schooling, you take the specific courses the programme asks for.
Tell us which programme you are applying to and what you already hold. If your existing qualifications can be recognised, we will say so rather than sell you courses you do not need.
A programme has a minimum grade you did not reach. You can retake the course and the higher mark is the one that counts on your transcript.
Six weeks, with a fixed finish date, so you can work backwards from an application deadline and know whether it fits.
A programme needs a course you never took. Because a session takes six weeks rather than five months, a prerequisite completed in one session lets you start the next course in the session that follows.
See Courses and prerequisites for what each course requires. Eight of our courses need nothing at all.
Shift work, childcare and a job do not fit a school timetable. The work is set by the week rather than the hour, so you decide when in the week you do it, and the deadlines are published in advance so you can plan around a roster.
If you would rather have somewhere to sit and be supervised, selected English, mathematics and computer studies courses also run in class at the Vaughan campus.
On the September and November 2026 sessions. $330.00 online and $440.00 in person, per 1.0 credit course. The offer closes on the day your session begins.
What we cannot do for you
We would rather tell you this before you pay than after.
- We cannot provide proof of English for a citizenship application. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada states plainly that a single course in an official language is not enough. What counts from schooling is a completed secondary or post-secondary credential, or an approved language test such as CELPIP-General, IELTS General Training or PTE Core. If that is what you need, a language test is the route, not a course.
- We do not offer college preparation (C) or workplace courses. Our Grade 11 and 12 courses are university and university/college preparation. Colleges accept these where they ask for (C), so this rarely blocks anyone, but if a programme insists on a (C) code specifically, we cannot supply it.
- We do not offer French, the arts, Canadian and world studies, guidance, health and physical education, or technological education. For a mature student these normally fall inside the equivalency allowance. For a student under 18 completing a full diploma, they do not, and you would need another school alongside us.
- We do not administer language proficiency tests. We are not an alternative to CELPIP, IELTS, PTE or TEF.
How to start
- Tell us what you are aiming for. Email admissions@amcantech.org with the programme or diploma you want and what you have already completed.
- We map it out with you. Which courses you actually need, which can be recognised rather than repeated, and how many sessions it will take. Before you pay anything.
- You choose a session and enrol. Six start dates a year, so the next one is never far away.
