IPAC Canada Essentials in Infection Prevention and Control Course
Sponsored by IPAC Canada. Online Course.
Applications now being accepted for 2025
Admission to the Accelerated Program requires students to be actively working in an Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) role - or transitioning into an IPAC role. Because this is an accelerated version of the course, a signed letter of support from the applicant's employer is required (a downloadable template is available below). Applications are due by March 15, 2025. Students will be notified of their acceptance by March 24, 2025. Tuition fees for accepted students will be due by March 31, 2025. Course starts April 1, 2025.
Preference for admission into the Regular Program will be given to novice IPAC practitioners with less than 2 years' experience. Applications will also be considered from others working in healthcare and/or exploring opportunities in IPAC. Applications for the Regular Course are due by July 18, 2025. Students will be notified of their acceptance by August 1, 2025. Tuition fees for accepted students will be due by August 15, 2025. Course starts September 8, 2025.
