Moving to a new country, starting a new career, or doing both, can feel overwhelming, to say the least. At ABES College, we pair hands-on healthcare training with all-around supports that keep you confident in class and focused on your future. Our services are suited to students of all backgrounds, no matter your first language or stage of life.
Below is a quick tour of every service waiting for you on campus and online.
1. Personal Academic Advising
From your first discovery meeting to graduation, dedicated Admissions Advisors and Program Coordinators help you pick courses, set study goals and solve timetable issues fast. Small class sizes mean instructors learn your name and notice if you need extra guidance.
2. One-to-One Tutoring & Skill Workshops
Struggling with lab math or medical terminology? Book free tutoring sessions or drop into weekly workshops on note-taking, time management and exam prep. These sessions use step-by-step breakdowns and real program examples so all students can follow along easily.
3. Career Services & Practicum Placement
A 90% graduate employment rate isn’t luck; it’s proper planning using provincial data and local employment connections. Our Career Services team reviews your résumé, runs mock interviews and connects you with industry partners like Alberta Health Services for practicum experience that often leads to job offers.
4. On-Site Funding Centre & Financial Aid Coaching
Money shouldn’t block your dreams. More than 95 % of applicants qualify for financial aid thanks to our Funding Centre and Student Finance Officers, who fill out loan, grant and scholarship paperwork with you. Flexible in-house payment plans are also available.
5. Wellness & Mental-Health Resources
Balancing study, work, and family is tough. Confidential counselling referrals and stress-management tips ensure you stay healthy inside and outside the classroom. Instructors keep doors open so you can talk through issues early.
6. Flexible Scheduling & Online Options
Evening, weekend and hybrid classes let you keep a part-time job or handle family duties while studying. Many programs offer online theory plus in-person labs, cutting commute time without sacrificing practical skills. With a mix of online and hands-on offerings, ABES manages to serve a diverse range of student needs.
