Social Work Diploma

A two year diploma in social work practice, covering human development, social policy and welfare systems, interviewing and case management, group work, anti oppressive practice and supervised field work.

Alberta registers social work diploma graduates through its provincial college, which is a genuine distinction from provinces where a degree is required, so graduates can practise under the registered title rather than only in support roles. Field work placements across central Alberta are where students prove they can work with people in crisis.

The institution publishes CIP code 44.0701 for Social Work Diploma on its own list of programmes aligned to the eligible field of study requirement, so the programme meets that requirement. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Social Work Diploma with a partner should plan on a single income.
