ACE Distance academic & career entrance

The Academic and Career Entrance (ACE) program is a grade 12 equivalency program for adult learners delivered in class by Ontario’s public colleges and online by the ACE Distance program. It prepares you to apply for and succeed in college postsecondary programs and apprenticeship training.

You will need your own professional email address, access to the Internet, and a reliable computer. If you do not have a computer, there are 78 access sites in communities across Ontario where you can use computers at no charge. For more information about locations, go to http://studyonline.ca/student-services/online-learning-centres

Step 1: Assessment
You must complete an assessment that will indicate your current skill level in several areas. This assessment is called ESEE — Essential Skills for Employment and Education.

Step 2: Learn To Learn
In order to participate in ACE Distance courses, all students must complete Learn to Learn (L2L). Learn to Learn is a 20-hour course that will introduce you to online learning and help you to decide if this is the right learning approach for you. The Learn to Learn course includes an assessment component that helps you determine if you have the computer skills, academic background and personality to succeed in ACE Distance courses.
