Postsecondary education is available in both government-supported/publicly funded postsecondary institutions or through private institutions which do not receive public funding. Enrollment in trade-vocational programs, such as apprenticeship or other programs geared towards preparation for employment in an occupation or trade, are increasingly requiring at least a high school completion in order to enroll. Enrollment in other college programs and in the degree programs offered by universities generally does require graduation from secondary school. In Quebec, students attend a CEGEP (collège d'enseignement général et professionnel ) after completing 11 years of elementary-secondary schooling. At a CEGEP, a student might obtain a diploma in order to continue to gain admission to a university, or the student might pursue a vocational program in preparation for direct entry to the labour force. In general, colleges award diplomas or certificates only. However, a large number of colleges offer university transfer programs, and an increasing number of colleges and institutes are gaining the authority to grant applied degrees. University transfer programs allow students to complete up to two years of academic course work toward bachelor's degrees. The university transfer courses completed at a college are then accepted as credit towards a degree at specified universities. In many provinces and territories, students must apply for admission and have their college studies evaluated before being granted credit for completed courses. Programs leading to degrees are offered in universities or degree-granting institutions. Most Canadian universities, especially the larger ones, offer a broad range of programs. Other degree-granting institutions have specialized in certain areas of excellence. A few specialized institutions that are not campus-based offer university programs through correspondence courses and distance education. University or degree-granting institutions offer programs at one or more of three different levels: bachelor's, master's, or doctoral. As well, these institutions often offer diploma and certificate programs at either the undergraduate or graduate level. Such programs can range from one to three years in duration. All public postsecondary institutions – colleges and institutes as well as universities and degree-granting institutions - offer continuing education programs aimed at adults either for general interest or to develop specific job skills. Such programs vary in length from a few days to three years.
