Submit a
completed application form, including a copy of a Curriculum Vitae,
transcripts of previous studies and all other relevant materials as
outlined on the application form.

Attend a
personal interview. The Academic Advisor or Executive Director
evaluates your personal qualifications and readiness for the program
during the interview. She/he also reviews the information provided by
you in your application. Your personal motivations and goals for
embarking on a new career path are discussed, as well as your past
professional and personal experiences.
The NHC Process
NHC has three
designations of students to clearly define and support your education
goals: Personal Exploration, Certificate Applicant, Diploma Applicant.
NHC has a
review process during the course of your studies. This is in place to
ensure you are on the right path and are fulfilling the requirements of
your certificate or diploma (if applicable).
After completing approximately 200 hours
– Students will be contacted by the Academic Advisor to help determine
their intentions and how to best continue with the NHC program.
Students who are not in a certificate program may continue to take
courses on an “interest basis”. Should they wish to enter a certificate
program at any time, a formal application is required.
After completing
approximately 400 course hours, and 700 course hours
– Students will be reviewed by an evaluation committee. It is important
that the student shows an integrated understanding of their area of
interest, and begins to have an idea of how they want to practice in the
case of certificate/diploma students.
After completion of
1000-1200 hours
– Students will be contacted by the Academic Advisor to review their
intentions. Students in the Diploma program are required to apply for
Holistic Counselling at this time.
*Students may request a
meeting with the Academic Advisor at any time to review their education
goals.
