Overview of the Algonquin College Partnership Assessment Process

Quality assurance and high-value outcomes for all of our partners and clients are at the core of all Algonquin College partnerships and we have developed a partnership assessment and delivery process which ensures that all of our programming and activities, whether delivered overseas or on our campuses in Canada, meets the high standards upon which our global reputation is based.

As a first step, we ask potential partners interested in working with us in partnership to complete our online partnership request form to provide us with some initial information so that we may better respond to your specific needs and requirements. Shortly after receipt of the partnership request form one of our experienced international project and partnership managers will contact you directly.

Initial Partnership Request and Information Form

Once we have received the online partnership request form and determined the most appropriate partnership model for cooperation between you and Algonquin College, we will work closely with you as we initiate our full partnership development process as outlined below.
