Our College is designed to be accessible both in terms of scheduling and financial commitment.
Hybrid Structure
OPC College offers a hybrid delivery model, encompassing both online and in-person components. The majority of in-class hours are conducted synchronously online, enhancing accessibility for learners. In addition, four in-person events are held annually in the vicinity of Spadina and Bloor in Toronto.
These in-person events provide invaluable opportunities for students to meet, connect, and socialize with their peers and the OPCC faculty.
