 | |  | APEGA and NorQuest College Partner on Engineering University Transfer Certificate Program Prospective engineering students have a new educational option thanks to NorQuest College’s Engineering University Transfer Certificate program, recently created with the help of APEGA, the program’s catalyst sponsor for the next three years. The year-long program was announced on March 12, 2025, and is unique to Edmonton. It fills a gap in post-secondary education by providing an option for interested students who may not qualify for more competitive programs, or those who prefer smaller class sizes with more educational supports. | | BRANCH EVENTS
