Get SET / ACE
Skills, Education and Training (Get SET)
If you’re looking to improve certain skills to enhance your quality of life or job situation, our Get SET courses and workshops are for you!
Our Get SET workshops and courses allow adult learners to update their technical and behavioural skills or enhance their skills in a specific area for employment, education, or a better quality of life.
Academic Career Entrance (ACE)
If you don’t have your Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or if you are missing courses to enroll in the program of your choice, our ACE courses are for you!
ACE courses are equivalent to pre-collegiate grade 12 courses. We also offer the ACE Certificate, which is equivalent to grade 12 and is often required for apprenticeship programs or employment.
Equivalency Tests
If you are looking to quickly meet the admission requirements for your program and avoid taking courses, our equivalency tests are for you!
In order to meet the admission requirements for your post-secondary program more quickly, we offer the opportunity to write equivalence evaluations in the following subjects: French, English, mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics.
Cost: $60
Passing grade required*: 60%
*If a program requires a minimum grade for a course, it must be achieved to meet the admission requirements.
**If you decide not to proceed with the equivalency test, please note that the $60 fee is non-refundable.
Paid Courses
Paid courses are for international applicants and applicants who live outside Ontario who need to meet certain admission requirements to enter the program of their choice at Collège Boréal.
You may take these courses if you are in one of the following situations:
- You have already applied to Boréal and are currently in Canada.
- You are currently in Canada, hold a valid study permit, and wish to transfer to another postsecondary institution.
- You are already studying at Boréal, want to change programs, and need to complete one or more prerequisite courses to be eligible for your new program.
At this time, Boréal does not accept applications from people who are outside Canada, mainly because of time zone constraints.
Please note that these courses are not self-paced. Attendance at live synchronous sessions on Teams is mandatory.
