Lethbridge Polytechnic will soon offer its own primary care paramedic program, along with a number of new trades and general arts and science certificates.
The PCP certificate program has been offered at the polytechnic campus for more than a decade. However, it’s been delivered in partnership with the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.
Now, it’ll be solely by Lethbridge Polytechnic.
A few changes have been made to trades programming.
Several pre-employment programs have transitioned to certificate programs.
These include the power-line technician, carpenter, electrician and welder program.
And three new one-year certificate programs within the general arts and science area of programming have been given approval.
