From a one-year program such as the Health Care Assistant Certificate to a four-year Baccalaureate Nursing Program (in partnership with UNBC), you’ll learn in interactive classrooms, apply your skills in real-world settings, and build a meaningful career based on care and compassion.

    Join others who provide essential health care in Northwest BC and beyond, starting with Health and Social Services training at Coast Mountain College.
