Norquest understands that their learners come with varying levels of education and they assist them at the times and places that meet their needs, whether that is in the classroom, via distance learning or continuing education. Norquest helps identify learner's strengths, work on their areas of need, and move them towards exciting learning paths and life-changing careers.
