Why would someone from the United States of America want to take the Forestry Technician Program at Pembroke, Ontario, Canada?

Look at these three reasons and compare.

First, the student is paying for a FAST TRACK 1 year program, that provides just as many hours as a 2 year program.

Second, the monetary exchange rate is favorable, which means that the cost per semester is less expensive in American dollars.

Third, with the North American Free Trade Agreement, an Algonquin College graduate can go to the U.S.A. and be recognized as a Forestry Technician. Algonquin College is a member of the Council of Eastern Forest Technician Schools which are forestry schools from the eastern U.S.A. and Canada. What you learn, at Algonquin, is applicable to U.S. forestry practices.

It was very rewarding to come here from Vermont as the forest is very similar and the program offers a great deal, and variety of field experiences."
