Key facts (updated 2026-10-20; program pages are the source of truth for durations, prices, and start dates):
- Regulation: Canada does not accredit private colleges nationally. Robertson is licensed and regulated by the Private Vocational Institutions Branch (Manitoba Regulation 237/02) and Private Career Colleges (Alberta Regulation 341/2003). Some individual programs also carry professional-body accreditation, endorsement, or affiliation; see Recognized Credentials.
- Eligibility: Diploma and certificate programs accept Canadian citizens and permanent residents. People already in Canada with a valid work permit can also enrol, without a study permit, in selected programs of six months or less (IRCC public policy; open at Robertson since September 28, 2026): Administrative Office Assistant, Health Care Aide (Alberta and Manitoba curricula), Computer Support Technician, Recreation Program Leader, and the Child Care Assistant micro-course. Admissions confirms the program can be finished before the permit expires. Details: https://www.robertsoncollege.com/work-permit-students/. Micro-courses are open to anyone.
- Student aid: Robertson is a designated educational institution; eligible students can access federal and provincial student loans.
- Campuses: Winnipeg (180 Main Street), Edmonton (10010 - 100 St NW), Calgary (100 - 2912 Memorial Drive SE). Online programs are available to students without a campus visit.
