This program is also accredited by CPHRBC.

The HRMT programs provide full-time and part-time intensive study options for students to complete the program at their own pace. The majority of the HMRT designated courses are scheduled at 4:00 pm or in the evening to allow students to further their education while maintaining current employment. This allows for changing outside-of-school time requirements and does not lock a student into a rigid program structure and time frame.
