Change lives from within
Our intensive, two-year diploma will prepare you for a career in the correctional system, aiding individual offenders and those in conflict with the law in completing their sentences and returning to society. Because of the growing need, you may also have the opportunity to do justice working with young offenders as well. You’ll gain a well-balanced understanding of human relations, correctional law, crisis resolution and more as you receive the hands-on experience necessary to achieve success in this important industry. As an added bonus, all of our courses are available through distance learning on a full- or part-time basis to suit your pace and lifestyle.
