Medicine Hat College


Medicine Hat College run a number of full and part time courses that BATUS personnel and their families are able to enrol on without paying International Student fees, as these courses are specifically deemed as ‘Adult Education’. This means that whilst these courses don’t lead to ‘formal’ nationally recognised qualifications, they are of benefit in terms of personal development. The college runs courses up to three times a year, and prior to the start of each term a prospectus is published with course information, cost and dates, as well as registration details. This information is also available on-line at http://cs.mhc.ab.ca.


Serving personnel may be able to claim money back once they have completed the course, using the Standard Learning Credits Scheme. For more information please contact SO3 Visits/ETS.
