Commonwealth College

Commonwealth College is registered as a Private Vocational Institute under the Private Vocational Institutes Act and is a member of the Manitoba Association of Career Colleges and National Association of Career Colleges. Locally, we continue to offer industry-recognized full and part-time programs at our downtown Winnipeg Campus. Whether in our classrooms, our labs or the community, students of Commonwealth College experience the “real world” even before they graduate. They’re job ready. We believe an education at Commonwealth College is education without borders because the world has changed, and so have we. We’ve re-created our College, giving us a unique position in the marketplace. And we are now prepared for the next set of challenges: to be more innovative and entrepreneurial; to further exploit the benefits of technology; to creatively engage our employees; to build more bridges with communities and employers; to see our graduates do meaningful work and have meaningful lives. Commonwealth College offers instructor-led classes with training based on applying knowledge to practical situations. Our classroom environment is flexible to meet all learning needs and class sizes are small to allow for one-on-one assistance. Staff members with both educational and business experience are constantly in touch with potential employers to understand the immediate needs of the marketplace, so as to keep training in step with the latest trends in employer requirements. The evaluation consists of tests, assignments and final exams. Students must achieve a final mark of 70% in each course to pass.
