overview
allow Us to introduce ourselves
We are the adventurers and pioneers of digital arts education; we are the Indiana Jones of the worldwide media industry; we are Captain Kirk, going where no digital art school has ever gone before; we are Centre for Arts and Technology. Not only are we pioneers in the digital arts and education industry, we are also one of the most established arts schools in Canada with campuses in Kelowna, Halifax, and Fredericton. By utilizing talented and respected industry professionals from coast to coast, we offer a unique educational experience that will launch you down the career path of your dreams. Is it that easy? Absolutely not! The industries that we train for are challenging and competitive but at the same time completely rewarding in every way. To make sure we're constantly quenching the educational thirst of our students, we conduct regular reviews of our programs and instructors through student evaluations and forums.
Star Trek ain't got nothing on Us!

No, we're not travelling through space, meeting aliens, or shooting people with lasers...yet. However we are teleporting educational excellence directly to students via the latest and greatest in video conferencing technology through our Distributed Learning Centres (DLC). Over the past several years, Centre schools have taken advantage of using video conferencing in a variety of our programs and have found it to be a very successful medium in bringing specialized expertise into the classroom. Students are able to access instructors working within progressive arts and technology careers without the instructor ever having to leave their city. The Distributed Learning Centres are high-end, high quality, high definition, video conference locations that have been set up at our campuses. The system allows instruction to take place from one campus, to potentially several, in as life-like a setting as technology can allow us today. Both instructors and students can interact in life-size high definition (HDTV) with high quality audio. We invite everyone to visit one of our DLC equipped campuses to experience the future of educational instruction for themselves.
Professionally developing Professionals

The word 'professional' is often used to describe someone with the attitude, team skills, strong morals, and work ethic to operate within various situations and industries. Displaying professional skills in today's industries is just as important to success as exceptional technical and artistic ability. Every year employers tell us that traditional education consistently fails to develop employees and citizens with core skills required for long lasting success. Basically, if you graduate as the best at what you do in your field but you have difficulty speaking to a stranger, then there is a very good chance you're not going to succeed in your desired industry. So how do we help you? While attending Centre schools, all students will experience the Professional Development Program. Those who grasp the power of the program will be well-equipped to experience success in work and life and to be the kind of person that others want to know and work with. The Professional Development Program will enhance the employability and longterm career success of Centre students.
how do we help you get There?

Centre for Arts and Technology is not your typical community college or university art school. Your experience at the Centre will be immersive, engaging, and interactive, leading to practical application in real-world digital art industry careers. Through the use of relevant tools, professionals, and technology, we were one of the first educational teams in Canada to develop programs in Art and Animation, Motion Design and Interactive Arts for the Web, Surround Sound, Sound Design, and Digital Recording Arts.
But wait...There's more...

In addition to the years of experience, the amazing instructors, the high end technology and equipment, and this beautiful program calendar, there's even more! To aid in student success, there are a number of added value programs that help our students to succeed. Two such programs are: GAP PROGRAM The Graduate Access Program allows graduates to continue to practice the valuable skills they have learned and constantly improve their portfolio for an additional three months directly after graduation. Students pay a refundable deposit in order to participate in the GAP program. Some conditions and restrictions apply. TUTORING We understand that not all students learn at an equal pace, nor can they grasp all concepts being taught intuitively. With this in mind, we provide some tutoring for those students in need of extra assistance at no charge.
where is There anyway?

Graduates from Centre schools can be found working throughout Canada in some of the most exciting and dynamic industries in the world. We'll give you the tools, the know-how, as well as the intensive and practical training to take the first important step towards your career goals.
The People
Our fantastic instructional staff is an integral part of the school. But how do you choose the best of the best? Instructors at Centre schools must have excellent personal communication skills and natural teaching ability fused with extensive experience and expertise in their respective field(s).
why ChooSe US?

Choosing a school is a tedious and daunting task that troubles everyone at some point in their lives. As a prospective student it's your responsibility to research all your options including the industries that you're hoping to work in one day. It would be very biased and unethical of us to tell you that you should look no further. But while you're out there on the frontlines striving for scholastic excellence, we'd like you to consider the following reasons as to why you should choose Centre for Arts and Technology for all your educational needs: We are one of Canada's premier providers of new talent for some of the world's most exciting companies Our global vision includes delivering internationallyrecognized instructional talent using state of the art video conferencing and e-learning We foster a community where you can develop your professional and personal skills that will lead you to a successful career We recognize the importance of developing the whole person rather than handing you a set of standardized skills The instructional staff at the Centres are not only teachers but also industry professionals, able to share their real-life experiences while providing you with your first all-important industry connections within your chosen field of study We constantly upgrade our curriculum and facilities to accommodate ever-shifting industries Most importantly...we LOVE what we do!

One of the services available to international students is the Multicultural Association of Fredericton (MCAF). Their office is located very close to the Centre and they provide valuable services for students who would like to work while attending school. Their website offers valuable information for living in Fredericton too. If you'd like to participate in local events, you don't want to miss the City of Fredericton's website. They have detailed information on the many events and activities taking place throughout the year such as Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival. If you are interested in taking a trip back in time and experience living history, you will enjoy Kings Landing Historical Settlement. Outdoor concerts, films, and theatres in downtown's Officers Square are very entertaining and free to attend. Last but not least, Odell and Wilmot parks are perfect picnic spots, and Boyce Farmer's Market is lots of fun to visit on Saturdays.

life at Centre for arts and Technology

Your life as a student will be an integral piece of your growth both professionally and personally. It'll be confusing at first, maybe even a little overwhelming. To help with your student life is our highly trained and exceptionally talented Student Services department. This team of educational motivators is your lifeline to all things student-centric. Throughout the year, the Student Services department will plan a variety of events to help foster the student community. These events may include, but are certainly not limited to: pancake breakfasts, pumpkin carving contests, summer bbq's, local fundraisers, movie nights, fashion shows, video game events, and social gatherings. Why do we do all of this? Because we know that for many students, this is their first time attending a post-secondary school, and in some cases, their first time away from home. It's part of our job to not only educate, but to support students during and after their time as students at Centre schools. No matter how long your program at the Centre is, you'll automatically become part of the student community. From the time of your initial contact with the school, we will be here to help you understand your program and what you'll need to do to be successful. When you need to stay late to get that project completed, know that you will be able to access the equipment and facilities required to get the job done. Our secure campuses provide safety, and our team of staff and instructors is here to make sure that your time at Centre for Arts and Technology is not only successful, but memorable. No matter which campus you choose to attend, you will be in a thriving city that offers a variety of eating, shopping, and entertainment options.

Take the opportunity to explore the region even further. In your backyard, you may have mountains, oceans, beaches, or historical sites.

hotography began with still images, portraits, and scenes frozen in a single frame. Motion picture took these single frames and ran them through a camera at 24 frames per second to capture moving images. Fusion is the convergence of both. The emergence of inexpensive large chip, shallow depth-of-field 35mm cameras has brought a greater production value and artistry to the visual medium. These cameras are smaller, lighter, and greater in resolution than they have ever been in the past, and this means there is now one tool that can combine both the film and photographic industries. Students taking Centre for Arts and Technology's fusion program will become true visual artists. Being trained in photography, filmmaking, screenwriting, and audio will create a perfect storm of skills - whether it's capturing a frozen photographic moment, shooting a news broadcast, or writing and dreaming of the independent feature film that with these skills could be attainable to create. The student is the artist, and the Centre provides hands-on training in the equipment, software, protocols, and industry knowledge that combine photography and filmmaking. Graduates of this program could be shooting magazine stills on Monday, filming a music video Tuesday, arranging a high fashion photography shoot Wednesday, recording commercials on Thursday, and save Friday for photographing and taking live streaming video of a breaking news story. The 12 month Digital Fusion Filmmaking program is perfect for people interested in visual arts, multimedia, photography, and filmmaking, so training would be useful for those new to post-secondary education or those looking to upgrade their training in the corporate or media environment.

The number one item on an employer's wish list is 'employability' - ensuring that the skills you have acquired are complimented by professionalism, confidence, accountability, and adaptability. Our role here is to round out your education by giving you guidance and training in these necessary areas. You will learn how to write an effective resume, how to handle yourself in a job interview, how to network, and how to position yourself within your chosen industry. You will tour industryrelevant businesses to understand day-to-day operations, be invited to listen to guest speakers that can give you the inside track to success, and be exposed to mentors and leaders in your area who can assist you in reaching your dream. We care about our students and want them to be successful in every aspect of life.
