The Visually Impaired Adult Programs are designed to give both blind and low vision students the basic education required for admission to further career and academic training to enhance their employability. Computer courses include Windows 95, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, using the Scanner and Internet training using speech, braille and large print access. Students at advanced levels will normally be encouraged to integrate into regular upgrading or training programs at Vancouver Community College. An interview with the Program Co-ordinator is required prior to registration. Employability skills may lead to employment in secretarial, customer service or other careers.
Programs are tuition free.
If brailling or other support services are required for students wishing to attend regular classes, King Edward Campus should be notified at least two months prior to registration. Otherwise, assistance may not be available. For arrangements of services, contact Karin Steichele, Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities at King Edward Campus, 871-7206. Information about fees, registration dates and class times is available through the Registrar's Office.
