Program overview

What Olds College of Agriculture and Technology says about their program:
"The one-year Post-Diploma Certificate (30 credits) at Olds College is designed to enhance your previously obtained post-secondary education with practical and employable skills in an area of specialization (e.g., Agriculture, Horticulture, Agricultural Business and Environment).
The Post-Diploma Certificate is ideal for international students who have earned a diploma or equivalent in their home country and are looking for a international experience. This program is also suited for recent graduates who have earned a diploma or degree in a general field like business or science, and who are looking to round out their education with focused and career-ready skills. The Post-Diploma Certificate may also be an excellent choice for mature learners with previous education and who are looking to retrain for a new career."
