Anyone know…?

Wondering if someone can help me out here?

I’m currently enrolled in year 2/4 for my online part time course. This year I have definitely gained a lot more knowledge on how to find my way around the website/Brightspace but I’m definitely still learning things. I was under the impression that I could compile all of my things I wanted to add to a portfolio and add them to it after, near the end of my final year. I just realized when clicking around and locating my portfolio that it only allows me to click on current courses to add to. So I’m only able to add things to them when they’re a current course, instead of saving all of my stuff and adding it to the portfolio later? I’ll obviously be contacting the correct people to determine how to correct it but I figured I’d try to get some insight here in the meantime if I can. Thanks in advance!!

🤔 Automotive Repair & Service vs Electro-Mechanical Technician 🔧⚡ - Which One Has Better Market Demand and Future Opportunities?

I’m currently deciding between two programs at NSCC: Automotive Repair and Service vs Electro-Mechanical Technician. I’m feeling a bit confused and unsure which one to pursue, as I want to make sure I’m investing in a field with strong job demand both now and in the future. Could anyone with experience in either of these programs share your insights? Specifically, I’m curious about which program is currently in demand in the job market and which one will have better future opportunities. I’m particularly interested in the potential for jobs related to electric vehicles (EVs) and automation, so I’d appreciate any advice on which course might align better with those goals. Also, how easy or difficult is it to find a job after graduation from either of these programs? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I've applied for academic upgrading for pharmacy technician course 2025 as an international applicant

I applied in late September and got an email yesterday stating I don't have the proper requirements to be admitted for the course and will have to take an upgrading course. So, I don't really have any knowledge regarding the same, including when the course will be completed, whether I will be accepted after its completion, and how the program will be delivered—online or offline.

Seeking Advice for my skill training startup

Hi!

I am co-founder of a startup that provides online skill training. I wanted to understand whom should I contact at NSCC for a potential collaboration with the college.

As there are multiple campuses, I was unsure if I should contact all of them separately or is there a common place for business like inquiries.

Any help will be appreciated!

Programs that have openings...

Hey folks, further to my questions about electrical, and plumbing, both of which have long waitlists.... are there any other good career option courses out of those that don't have long wait lists?? For example, I see that 'Oil Heat Systems Technician' and 'Electronic Systems Technician' both have openings. What are the career opportunities like in those? Any others that would be good to look at? Thanks!

I recently applied at nscc for the academic upgrading and development skills program for September fall 2025

So let me explain, by the way I haven’t got accepted to nscc yet. But if I do, I do wanna upgrade some classes like math and other courses. In the future I wanna go off to university and get BBA in business, although I don’t have the right courses or marks from high school to apply to university’s that I want to apply at. Can someone help me figure out what kind of courses I should take that would look good for me to get into business.

Waitlisted....

Hi all, my son who is currently in grade 12, put in an application back in April for both Plumbing and Electrical for Sept 2025. His application page always just showed 'check back Nov 4th'. Looked today, and both now say 'Waitlisted'. I assume this means he is likely not getting into either program for 2025? :(

CCA to LPN / Returning student query

As the title says. I'm a CCA graduate from NSCC thinking of going for LPN, and I have a couple of questions:

  • Since I graduated from CCA, do I still need the required high school courses for LPN?

  • Do I need to re-submit my transcripts from high school and the CCA course, since they should already have them on file?

  • Will I need to complete the 'Dementia: Understanding the Journey' course again? And if not, do I still have to pay for it?

Thanks!

Being asked to enter Authenticator code

When I try to log into brightspace from either my pc or MacBook, it asked me to enter the code from my Authenticator app. But I only have Google authentication and the nscc doesn’t work for that? Do I have to call the school or is there another way to fix this?

I can’t even log into one drive from home. It only started doing it this week.

Waitlisted on Business Adminstration Winter 2025

Hi, Hope you all are doing well,

I am currently waitlisted on a Business Adminstration course on Dartmouth Campus for winter 2025, there are 5 people on it. What do you think will I get admitted to either of the course ? Or another option is to again apply and pay the 100 dollar fees to change the campus to Kentville, doesn't sound fair though to pay the fees again but there is no other choice.

Anyone with experience in waitlist and if they got admitted from waitlist?

Questions about Business Admin for students/grads

Hi, I’m looking into going back to college and taking Business Admin, possibly focusing on Accounting second year. I have a few questions I want answers to if anyone can help.

Are there any pre-reqs? I don’t have Academic Math (I didn’t think I’d need it when I was still in high school, bad call on my part), and am wonder if it would be worth taking the Academic Upgrading course before applying.

I also see a lot of people taking about doing 2+2 with a university post-NSCC. I’m wondering if this is recommended or if you’re able to find employment with just the NSCC diploma? I’m just curious so I can better lay out all of my options.

I appreciate any answers you have for me! Thank you for reading! :D

Did I just get accepted?

I was casually checking my application status today and stumbled upon this, but I have not received a letter or email (granted, if it's by letter it will probably take longer since I'm US based). Am I crazy, or did I just get accepted? Or could this be an error? I applied September 23rd.

NSCC Student Looking for Workplace Shadowing Opportunity – Any Tips?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently a student in the Pipe Trades program at NSCC, and I have workplace shadowing coming up. Unfortunately, I’ve been having a really hard time finding an employer who can take me on for a week of shadowing, and it’s starting to stress me out. I’ve reached out to a few companies, but no luck so far.

Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to find an employer for shadowing? Are there any particular approaches that worked for you, or ways I could improve my search? I’m open to any suggestions at this point.
