HCC Core Features

Heritage Community College thrives to provide the best education to our students to prepare them for a bright future.

Academic Advising

Academic advisors assist you in planning your course of study, while tutors are readily available to help you in any subject matter, ensuring that you maintain a strong academic performance.

Small Class Sizes

Students always benefit from getting to know their professors. In classes with a smaller student-to-faculty ratio, you’re given individual attention and have the opportunity to establish lasting connections with your professors. Asking questions, expressing opinions, and engaging in an open discussion with your professors and classmates are strongly encouraged and promote a higher level of learning.

Global Workforce

Every student has his or her own professional goals—that’s why HCC takes a personalized approach to your career management.

Dedicated Support Services

We understand that every student has individual needs. Our Student Services team is here to help you complete an application, organize your course schedule, and answer your questions related to your study at the college.

Streamlined Admissions

HCC offers a simple, streamlined admissions process for international students that includes a variety of outcomes designed to ensure your success inside and outside of the classroom. The admissions outcome that is best for you will depend on your academic qualifications, English-language level and personal preferences.

Career Preparation

Learn to use classroom knowledge in the real world and turn your degree into your life’s work. We connect students to great employers.

HCC Focuses On

HCC makes sure that the students are industry-ready by the time they complete the course.

01. Small Class Size

We ensure to provide small class sizes: It has been proven that students learn faster and perform better in smaller classes. A class size of fewer than 20 students often results in more individual attention, increased participation, and better communication between the instructor and students. Students not only receive more feedback from their peers and instructors, but they also tend to encounter more opportunities for hands-on learning than those in large classes.

02. Career Focused Programs

Each Heritage Community College program has a single goal: to prepare the student for a career. Success depends upon distinction, and students must emerge from their education well prepared and ready to conquer the greatest challenges their profession can present, we are ready for that.

03. Closely Guided Work Experience Opportunities

In all of our programs we provide opportunities for you to apply your knowledge and skills outside of the classroom. The student will have the opportunity to gain work experience during the practicum time.

04. Government Designated

We are a designated learning institution approved by the British Columbia government to host international students; we also work together with Work BC and the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction to ensure that our programs are built for the needs of our community and society.

I studied the healthcare assistant course at the HCC. Our teacher was Teresa spears. She's been a nurse for over 20 years. She's been an absolutely amazing teacher. She explains things in a way that we are forced to challenge ourselves and learn something new.

Cheryl Kim Olimb

This course is a lot more than what I actually thought. It's changed the way I act outside of school and at home. And even my friends whom I've known for 10 years were surprised because I moved here from Kelowna, four years ago, and all my friends have seen a drastic change. So I'm pretty proud of myself for making it this far. I thank HCC for this change I am seeing in myself.

Kelsey Smith

My teacher is Coco Rosario, and oh my gosh, she is the best instructor I have because she understands you. One advice I would give to new students is, if you really have the heart for this job, do it. HCC is a place to discover the hidden talent in yourself. They have the best instructors and course planning for a successful future.

Maria Crofts

My background is teaching. So now I want to settle over here so my next purpose is to serve the people. And I chose this course and this is the best course to serve the people with compassion. My teacher is Miss Teresa spiels. And truly if I want to say I was not very good at computers, but she made it so easy for me. Previously I was thinking it will it would be difficult for me to study in the lab, but the way teachers supported us it became so easy for me.

Countries around the world, including Canada, are working to contain the current outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19).

This website contains useful FAQs and resources for HCC faculty, staff, and students. It is updated regularly, following advice from provincial and federal health agencies.

In recent months, HCC has transitioned to online learning and remote working for many of its faculty and staff. We are now in the midst of a COVID-19 safety planning process to allow for a gradual resumption of programs and activities on our campuses, within the BC Restart Plan.

We are also excited to welcome our new and returning students this fall. During fall 2020, HCC will primarily offer larger classes online with selected smaller classes conducted in-person, adhering to physical distancing and other public health requirements. We will maintain a clear focus on ensuring high-quality face-to-face instruction, where possible, and high-quality remote instruction. Our priority remains the wellbeing of our students, faculty, and staff.

British Columbia’s coordinated response

Within British Columbia, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, the BC Centre for Disease Control, Ministry of Health, and Vancouver Coastal Health are leading the coordinated response to COVID-19. HCC continues to take direction from the BC Provincial Government as we plan and consider the next steps.

We encourage you to visit the BC Centre for Disease Control website for the latest information. The Government of Canada also has an information line at 1 833 784 4397.

COVID-19 Resources:

Guidance and recommendations from the Provincial Health Officer are available online at the COVID-19 Provincial Support and Information website.
If you require advice regarding a potential COVID-19 case, please contact your local Medical Health Officer.

Workplace Active Health Screening

Active health screening for all the staff entering the workplace on a daily basis will be done as per the orders of the Provincial Health officer.
