Primary care paramedic program among offerings at Lethbridge Polytechnic
Lethbridge Polytechnic will be offering its own primary care paramedic program, as well as new certificates in trades and general arts and science.
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.
