Orientation for Child Care Staff
NorQuest College is pleased to be offering the Orientation Course for Child Care Staff.
In partnership with Alberta Children’s and Youth Services, NorQuest College offers The Orientation Course for Child Care Staff. This is a 54 hour course that offers instruction in child development for students wanting to work in the child care field.
NorQuest also offers the Orientation Course for Child Care Staff in an 84 hour format. This format offers the same course content at a somewhat slower pace. The 84 hour format is recommended for those students reading below Grade 8 and ESL learners who feel they would benefit from a slower paced course.
