Additional Expenses
Though not mandatory for entrance into the Human Services Professional Department, students will be required to become certified in Standard First Aid and CPR prior to employment. Columbia College does not offer these certificates. We recommend that students contact the local St. John Ambulance, Red Cross, or other certified agencies to arrange training.
Non-Violent Crisis Intervention
Students must successfully complete (and provide proof thereof) that they have participated in a Non-violent Crisis Intervention training workshop. This workshop is available within the community and may be offered at Columbia College from time to time as required or deemed necessary. This workshop is essential in order to participate in each of the two co-operative education courses and to secure future employment upon successful graduation.
Part-time fees
See Course Listings section for part-time course fees.
