HighlightsHands-on learningSIAST teaches the skills you need to succeed.

Class projects focus on real-world topics and attract industry participation. Smaller class sizes mean more one-on-one time with your instructors. When you are in class, the focus isn’t just on lectures; it’s about learning hands-on skills in labs and demos.

Co-op education terms and workplace practicums mean you get on-the-job experience.

High school to career in 2 years SIAST can take you from high school to the career of your choice in as little as two years. Think about that. Two years from now you could be earning a good wage working at a job you enjoy.

Your fast track to a career starts at SIAST.

Knowledgeable facultySIAST instructors are excellent teachers and they have real-world experience. They know what it takes to succeed and are committed to ensuring you are prepared.

Instructors support you in your journey.They also care and want to see you succeed.” SUZANNE Hometown: Regina SK Program: SCBScN

SIAST provides the skills and certification I need and it only takes one year to complete my program.

Job-ready skillsBehind the scenes, program advisory committees ensure your curriculum is relevant and up-to-date. Innovative networking events connect you with potential employers. And, with many programs, the door is open to use your SIAST credentials as a stepping stone to a university degree, professional designation or advanced professional standing.

I gained so much valuable knowledge. I accepted a job offer even before I was finished my program. SIAST was definitely the right choice for me.”

JANA Hometown: Moose Jaw SK Program: Business Accountancy

Program choiceSIAST has more than 150 programs to choose from, with courses in aviation, engineering, health sciences, technology, trades and more.

And with smaller class sizes, instructors get to know students on a first-name basis. It makes for a more personal learning experience, and allows more one-on-one attention.

Grads in demandThere’s a reason almost 93% of surveyed SIAST grads said they’d found work. Our programs are career-focused and results-oriented.

That means our graduates are job ready. That’s a big advantage in today’s market. Top employers are competing to recruit quality employees – and they like the blend of knowledge, skills and experience SIAST grads demonstrate. A SIAST education gives you an edge in the job market.

Make the popular choice! SIAST produces more undergrads each year than any Saskatchewan university.

JOLENE Hometown: Perdue SK Program: Parts Management Technician

My SIAST experience has been fun and full of laughs, as well as interesting and informative.

SIAST programs are a smart choice and here are just a few reasons why. Don’t take our word for it – read what SIAST students have to say.

When should I apply?You can apply as soon as you are enrolled in the courses and at the grade level you require for admission. For instance, for a program where Grade 12 is an admission requirement, you may apply in September of your Grade 12 year. Most programs are first qualified, first admitted.

More information can be found at goSIAST.com/admissions.

SIAST’s high-demand programs are:• Combined Laboratory and X-Ray Technology• Dental Hygiene• Medical Laboratory Assistant• Medical Laboratory Technology• Medical Radiologic Technology• Power Engineering Technology• Practical Nursing

What else do I need to do?Along with your completed application form and application fee, you will need to include:

• An official transcript of your high-school marks. If you have already completed the high-school requirements for admission, arrange for an official transcript to be forwarded electronically to us by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education or from the appropriate provincial ministry of education if your requirements were completed outside of Saskatchewan; OR

• A preliminary statement of high-school standing. If you are currently completing high-school requirements for admission, a conditional admission can be granted based on preliminary results – just complete the preliminary statement of high-school standing on the application form. Upon completion of the requirements, you must arrange for a final official transcript to be sent electronically by the appropriate provincial ministry of education. Final official transcripts are required by August 1.

addition to regular academic admission requirements. All admission requirements are listed on our program web pages at goSIAST.com.

What happens next?After you are accepted into your program, you will receive an acceptance letter from SIAST letting you know your start date, tuition fees and other costs (such as books, supplies and students’ association fees). If you are a sponsored student, your sponsoring agency will need to provide us with written confirmation of your sponsorship.

In your acceptance letter, we will ask you to pay a $500 tuition deposit within 30 days to hold your spot in the program, so plan that cost into your budget when you apply.

What if I do not meet the admission requirements?If you do not meet admission requirements, you have several options:

• If you have been out of school for at least one year you can upgrade through a Basic Education program at SIAST (see page 41) or through your high school or regional college).

• You may qualify for special admission. Contact a SIAST counsellor at any campus for details. Special admission may include:– use of an assessment tool called ACCUPLACER that

tests math and English skills, and/or– consideration of successfully completed courses

and/or credentials. See goSIAST.com/specialadmissions for details.

• You may be able to begin your studies as a part-time, unclassified student. Unclassified students are students who are registered in a SIAST course but who are not currently admitted to a SIAST program.

Because English is the language of instruction and examination at SIAST, applicants whose first or primary language is not English will need to provide evidence of sufficient English skills to gain admission.

Ready or not?We can help. If you’re heading into a health care or technology program, prepare yourself by signing up for Math for Health Care Providers or Pre-Technology Math. Courses run mid- to late August. For more information call 1-866-goSIAST.

3. Awards & scholarshipsSIAST will give away $1.5 million in student awards each academic year.

SIAST offers student awards for every certificate and diploma program at every SIAST campus. You don’t have to be a brainiac to receive a student award. Not all student awards are based on marks — some are based on financial need or things like community or volunteer involvement. Some bursaries and scholarships are available to all SIAST students, while others are for students attending a specific campus or program, or for education equity students.

Once you’ve been accepted as a student, you can apply online for an award or scholarship between June 1 and July 15. Once you’re on campus, there are other scholarship opportunities available. Check the awards guide on the scholarships page of goSIAST.com.

I chose SIAST because it was affordable.”CHERISH Hometown: Saskatoon, SK Program: Disability Support Worker

ROBIN Hometown: Prince Albert SK Program: Integrated Resource Management

It’s nice to study something I’m passionate about. The classes are interesting and the instructors are inspiring with real-life experiences incorporated into their lectures.

!For programs with math admission requirements,

previous Saskatchewan math requirements are also accepted.

SIAST values your prior learningSave time and money as you reach your goals. Through the prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR) process, you can seek academic credit for the knowledge you’ve already gained through life and work experiences. PLAR considers a variety of ways people learn, such as:

• independent study • volunteer work• industry training • workshops• on-the-job training • work experience

More information about PLAR can be found at goSIAST.com.

Transfer creditIt is a fact that some college students go on to university, some university students go on to college, and no one wants to waste their time and money studying the same thing twice. SIAST offers transfer credit opportunities which give you:

• greater flexibility• better return on investment• more one-on-one attention

To learn more about transfer credit, scan the QR code or visit goSIAST.com/transfer-credit.

2 years + 2 years = SIAST diploma + university degreeWhen Roan was starting out, he decided to take SIAST’s Computer Systems Technology (CST) program after he had heard its graduates were job-ready.

“This was definitely because of the hands-on approach that SIAST takes,” says Roan, who decided to complement his SIAST diploma with a computer science degree from university.

Agreements between SIAST and universities make it easy for SIAST grads like Roan to get credit for their SIAST training, meaning that after Roan completed his SIAST diploma, he only had two years of further courses to get his degree.

In the near future, Roan hopes to get a job as an Android application developer and he’s already making money with his first app called MP3dit, a music file tag editor. His app currently has 375,000 total installs and 106,000 active users.

I knew that it was well worth it to go to SIAST first.”ROAN Hometown: Saskatoon SK Program: Computer Systems Technology

Train at SIAST, Saskatchewan’s leading provider of trades training. You’ll find industry-recognized programs in construction, manufacturing and mechanical trades. All programs are designed with input from industry, so your education matches job opportunities.

• Construction – The construction industry is much more than houses. Think commercial office buildings, retail centres, schools and health centres. It is an industry that offers a wealth of employment opportunity.

• Manufacturing – Every manufacturing industry relies on tradespeople with specific skills to keep their operations running. From steel mills to welding shops, the job opportunities are endless.

• Mechanical – As machinery and vehicles become more technically complex, the demand for tradespeople with the knowledge and skills to repair and service them increases.

Get hands-on trainingHands-on training has always been a big factor in our graduates’ success. Our on-campus programs emphasize practical learning in excellent shop facilities equipped with industry-leading tools.

Industry-recognized programsCollaboration with industry ensures programs in construction, manufacturing and mechanical trades match labour market needs.

Apprenticeship trainingSIAST is the largest provider of apprenticeship training in Saskatchewan. Apprenticeship is a formal agreement between an individual who wants to learn a skill and an employer who needs a skilled worker. That means apprentices already have jobs in their chosen trades when they register with the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC).During your apprenticeship, the skills you learn on the job are supplemented by a number of weeks of technical training each year – that’s where SIAST comes in. SATCC contracts with SIAST to provide short periods of training each year for apprentices in a number of trades. See “Apprenticeship” (page 40) or visit www.saskapprenticeship.ca for more information.

Expert facultySIAST instructors are qualified tradespeople with real-world experience.

Apprenticeship training is a multi-year earning-while-learning arrangement. Apprentices already have jobs in their desired field of work, and have signed a contract of apprenticeship with their employer and the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC). Under the supervision of a certified journeyperson, an apprentice receives knowledge and develops skills through on-the-job training. The skills apprentices learn while working are supplemented with a required number of weeks of in-school technical training each year. Upon successfully completing an apprenticeship program, apprentices are eligible to write an examination to become a certified journeyperson in their trade. SIAST provides the in-school portion of apprenticeship training for 20 apprenticeable trades.

All apprenticeship training is scheduled by SATCC.

More information about apprenticeship training and training start dates may be obtained by contacting the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission at: www.saskapprenticeship.ca or

BASIC EDUCATIONWhen you want more control over your life, your job prospects and your earning potential, start with SIAST’s Basic Education (BE) programs. SIAST’s BE programs help students who want to develop academic and job-readiness skills (as required by the labour market) and gain the academic prerequisites required for further education and training.

We have the widest range of BE programs in the province – and all provide a supportive adult learning environment. You have access to student counsellors, tutors and a full range of student services. After successfully completing your BE program, you can consider laddering into one of SIAST’s post-secondary programs.

Basic Education programs focus on helping students who want to:• develop academic and job-readiness skills• gain the academic prerequisites needed for further

education and training

To qualify for admission, you must be either:• 18 years of age and out of school for

at least one year, OR• 19 years of age or older

Because Basic Education academic programs are secondary school programs, they do not qualify for the student loan program in Saskatchewan. However, you may qualify for the Provincial Training Allowance, which is paid monthly to qualified students who attend daytime classes. Programs are available on a full- and/or part-time basis.

Adult 10The Adult 10 program builds basic academic skills and encourages the development of employment readiness, as well as living and social skills. These skills enable you to meet the demands of the labour market and pursue further training.

Studies include:• math • computer literacy• reading • writing• science • social studies

You will also complete a career exploration class that looks at employment skills and career options. The program starts at various times throughout the year.

Adult 12The Adult 12 program provides the skills and entrance qualifications you need to enrol in post-secondary institutions and succeed in the labour market. Adult 12 standing is recognized by the Ministry of Education as equivalent to the Saskatchewan 24-credit high-school Grade 12. Adult 12 offers Saskatchewan 30-level curricula.

Adult 12 standing is awarded after successful completion of the seven required 30-level credits or equivalent, including prior learning credit.

English language trainingFull-time language training is available at SIAST Kelsey Campus in Saskatoon and SIAST Wascana Campus in Regina, and on a part-time basis at all four campuses. English language testing services for IELTS, CELPIP, CLBA and ESL test preparatory programs are available. These programs are designed for students who wish to improve their English language skills for either personal development, admission to post-secondary studies or improving employment opportunities.

Other Basic Education programs• Employment Readiness / Bridging to Employment programs• Evening 30-level curriculum• General Education Development (GED) Prep and Testing• Literacy• Summer courses

If you are considering a Basic Education program, contact a SIAST campus to verify your eligibility as well as program availability. For course details, please see goSIAST.com/CE, goSIAST.com/basiceducation or call our toll-free number at 1-866-goSIAST.

5 TIPS FOR STUDENT SUCCESS1. Get organized. Track your assignments, homework and

readings by using a day-planner, an electronic calendar or an app. Figure out a system that works for you.

2. Be efficient. I pack all the books I need to take home before going to my last class of the day. After that class, I am out the door and headed for home.

3. Save time and money. Consider PLAR (see page 6). I was able to PLAR keyboarding and recovered a portion of my tuition cost, and gained two free study periods a week.

4. Get help. If you feel like you are getting behind, take action right away. Ask instructors, classmates or the Learning Centre for help.

5. Figure out what works for you and your family. Going to school after being a stay-at-home mom for eight years was an adjustment for me and my family. I made a schedule that delegated chores and designated times for everyone’s homework, including my own.
