How It Works

We believe that our work is not just about securing a job for our graduates, but to foster a lifetime of learning and earning. Here’s what to expect when you apply today.

Complete an online application

After a short pre-screening application, complete the full application for one of our core programs and our Admissions Team will email you directly.

If you are a JDA or SOA applicant, complete your assessment

As the JDA (Junior Data Analyst) and SOA (Security Operations Analyst) programs are more advanced programs, if you meet the basic eligibility criteria, JDA and SOA applicants will be asked to complete a technical assessment. This supports us in gauging your technical skills to ensure the JDA or SOA programs are right for you!

Participate in a virtual interview

Once submitted, if you meet our basic eligibility criteria you will be invited to an interview with a member of our Admissions Team. The final decision of your application will be shared after the interview.

*For our March 2024 cohort onwards, eligible Ontario and Alberta applicants are required to participate in our ongoing research study.

Receive an offer to attend the program

After you have completed an interview, the Admissions Team will review your full file. This includes your application, assessment/questionnaire, and interview. If you successfully pass all phases of the screening you will be sent an offer of admittance into the program!

*In Alberta and Ontario, due to overwhelming demand for our programs, we have many more applicants than available seats. To ensure fairness, we use a computerized lottery system to randomly allocate available program seats to qualified applicants. Applicants not admitted by the lottery system will be welcome to reapply in 24 months. This lottery system also supports a research study that NPower Canada is conducting to measure the long-term effectiveness of our programs. Eligible Ontario and Alberta applicants are required to participate in this research study. Learn more about the research and lottery here.

Start the online program

Once admitted, get ready to learn technical skills, earn certificates, and support your professional development that will help launch your Digital career.

Upon successful completion of our program, we will help you land a full-time job as the first step on your Tech career journey and successful future!

Disclaimer

In many regions we receive more applications then we have seats available. As a result you may not be considered for the cohort you are applying for and may be placed on a waiting list until seats become available.
