In the five years from 2019, the College’s expert staff focused exclusively on providing pathway-to-university programs for international students.

Local and international students may enrol in Canning College’s Year 10 program, and Year 11 and Year 12 WACE/ATAR programs. A WACE General course is also available to domestic (local) students. International students and eligible local students can also seek to complete the Certificate IV in University Access Program or WAUFP. College staff…
