Sault College is proud to announce that our long-running School of Natural Environment diploma programs have been accredited by the Canadian Environmental Accreditation Commission (CEAC), an independent body that oversees the Environmental Careers Organization of Canada (ECO Canada) Accreditation program.
Our Programs
A program's curriculum is critically analyzed against national occupational standards to ensure it meets environmental industry needs. Our accredited School of Natural Environment programs include :
- Adventure Recreation and Parks Technician
- Fish and Wildlife Technician Conservation
- Forestry Technician - Conservation
- Natural Environment Technician - Conservation and Management
- Natural Resource/Environmental Law - Inspection and Enforcement.
The accreditation process took approximately 18 months to complete. Programming, supports, and services were examined, including a variety of aspects of the student experience from program policies and practices to student support and facilities. The CEAC and site reviewers applauded the quality of our programs and the dedication of faculty and staff. We continue to prioritize equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience needed to succeed in natural environment and outdoors careers.
ECO Canada's accreditation is a clear endorsement of the quality and relevance of education that Sault College delivers. Our programs meet and exceed national standards and students receive a solid foundation for their future career in the field. We remain committed to offering an exceptional educational experience.
The programs have been accredited by the Environmental Careers Organization of Canada (ECO Canada) based on conformance with the National Accreditation Standard for Post-secondary Environmental Programs.
