Program Information

Admission Requirements

Grade 12 or equivalent or Mature Student Status. Courses are open to any applicant who possesses a good command of the English language and is able to follow instructions.

An admissions interview will be administered to determine if the applicant has the required interest, motivation, and entry-level skills to take this program. Full-time students must attend the required hours per week as per the course schedule and may do so at times convenient to them.

Program Highlights

With an ever-growing and competitive market, companies are constantly in need of highly professional and motivated salespeople who can be successful in any type of environment. The discerning Sales Professional understands that it is not so much what you do, but “how” you do it.

Partnerships and relationships are established and maintained only when the Sales Professional provides exceptional customer value. Customers have fundamentally changed their expectations in recent years and desire to build a relationship with a Sales Professional who provides value, not just communicates it.

This program is designed to provide students with the fundamental skills, knowledge, and attitudes required for success in an entry-level position. It will appeal to those individuals who are charismatic, energetic, strong communicators, driven by results, and willing to put themselves on the front line. This program provides students with:
- The knowledge and skills necessary to manage relationships and key accounts.
- An understanding of the sales profession and the environments in which they will be selling.
- The opportunity to explore the consultative selling approach and various selling processes in depth.
- Professional skills to develop sale proposals and deliver effective sales presentations.
- The ability to assess their potential clients and adjust their personality style to successfully build rapport with each client.
- Students are required to take some elective courses from prescribed study areas.


What Our Graduates Say

When I first visited Academy of Learning College the office staff members were welcoming and very friendly. I graduated with a Diploma in Project Administration which helped me obtain my PMP Certification shortly afterwards. I highly recommend Academy of Learning College to anyone looking to advance further in their career.

I was thrilled to be approved for the Marketing Coordinator program and attend as a Second Career student at Academy of Learning College. I learned at my own pace, developed great relationships with the other students and the instructors, and now currently work as a Marketing Coordinator with an insurance organization.
