Nursing & Health Care School in the Vancouver BC Area

Stenberg College:
For over 20 years, Stenberg College in Surrey, in the Greater Vancouver area of BC has been dedicated to education that uses the most current industry techniques and methods so graduates enter the job market with relevant sought-after skills. We offer nursing, health care & human services certificate and diploma programs. In direct consultation with the professional community, Stenberg College develops programs that are targeted at meeting industry demands for certain skill sets, thereby giving our graduates the highest possible opportunity for employment and success.

Stenberg College is both registered and accredited by the Private Career Training Institutions Agency (PCTIA) of British Columbia. PCTIA is the regulatory agency for private training institutions in the province of BC. Accreditation with PCTIA means that in addition to the registration requirements, Stenberg College has also successfully undergone a rigorous evaluation by an external audit team, and has met the Agency's quality standards for accredited institutions. This accreditation process is repeated not less than once every 5 years. Stenberg College is also a BC Education Quality Assurance member which means we have met government assurance standards and offer consumer protection. We have also received accreditation from the Canadian Medical Association for our Cardiology Technologist program.

Our mission is to provide superior, career-oriented programs that will prepare graduates to meet the needs and expectations of employers. To strive at all times to achieve excellence in education.

We believe that education is not just learning a set of job skills or memorizing facts but facilitating higher order awareness, thinking, problem solving, emotional maturity, and social skills that will distinguish us as excellent contributors in work and life, and provide a quality experience of life as balanced self-determined people. This means that our focus is not on what we teach but on what students learn; not on where we are at and what we need, but where our students are at and what they need to achieve success as they define it. This means discovering and honoring the strengths, values, and knowledge they have acquired on their journey and building on that foundation.
