Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

of Courses
PRE-PROGRAMS
Pre-programs are post-secondary certificate programs that offer students the opportunity to take courses for career exploration or to qualify for further study. With small class sizes, dedicated teachers and built-in advising and supports, the pre-programs help students strengthen their academic skills and prepare for further coursework.
OUR PROGRAM
 The Pre-Community
Services program provides an overview of the helping field, including roles and systemic issues, and a theoretical basis through courses in Sociology
and Psychology. Students develop skills for admission to programs in the School of Community and Social Services* at George Brown College and other post-secondary
institutions. Students improve their learning skills and confidence for success in a learning environment. A strong emphasis on group learning encourages
cooperation, teamwork and mutual support that will be beneficial in the helping professions. English testing places students according to their current
level to promote skills in future college courses.
Students are prepared to make effective and informed decisions regarding further education and career choices.
*Applicants to the Social Service Worker program are encouraged to apply well in advance of the ontariocolleges.ca application deadline for the following
academic year.
Note: Students preparing to apply to the Behavioural Science Technology program are advised to take Pre-Health Science rather than Pre-Community Services.
PART-TIME STUDY OPTIONS
Some Community Services and English courses are offered part-time through Continuing Education at George Brown College; however, Pre-Community Services is not a part-time program.
YOUR CAREER
Graduates of Pre-Community Services who achieve a program grade point average of 3.0 or higher and meet other program requirements may be eligible for admission to the Social Service Worker program at George Brown College. Successful completion of the certificate program may provide exemptions from certain Community Services courses, depending upon grade level achieved.
