Academic and Career Entrance (ACE) Program

Missing a prerequisite for college? ACE is the Academic and Career Entrance Program, delivered by all 24 Ontario community colleges. ACE is recognized as the Grade 12 equivalent for admission to college programs and apprenticeship training. A growing number of employers also recognize ACE for hiring purposes.

ACE is now available through online study. You can register for any of the ACE courses through Canadore College. The Learn to Learn (L2L) module is a prerequisite for all ACE online courses. Please contact ontariolearn@canadorecollege.ca for information on L2L and the registration process.
