Confederation College
Confederation College
We are more than just another postsecondary institution; we’re a culturally diverse, close-knit community of individuals, delivering exceptional education and training to an average of 7,000 combined full and part-time students per year.
We have been serving the citizens of northwestern Ontario since 1967, by meeting the educational needs of students in a catchment area of 550,000 square kilometres – that’s about the size of France!
With highly-trained instructors, smaller class sizes and a dynamic learning environment, we offer practical, hands-on programs and courses that will give you the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to succeed.
Confederation College’s catchment includes 88 Indigenous communities and our eight campuses are situated on the traditional lands of Indigenous peoples across the northwestern Ontario region. We live and work on lands that fall within the Robinson-Superior Treaty of 1850, Treaty 3, Treaty 5 and Treaty 9 inclusive of Anishinaabe, Ojibwe, Cree and Oji-Cree peoples.
Learning at Confederation College is an exciting and rewarding experience that begins with our four distinct schools of learning and continues with our smaller class sizes, state of the art facilities and cutting-edge classroom equipment and labs. Our level of innovation is first in class!
The staff of the International Education Centre (IEC) looks forward to meeting you and helping you become a successful and satisfied graduate from our college. During your stay at Confederation College, we will get to know you and will work hard to ensure that your stay with us is a rewarding one, rich with meaningful academic, cultural, and social experiences.
