September 1, 2020. Ottawa, Ontario – Willis College is excited to announce the creation of a brand-new, fully online campus launching today!

Willis College Online is the first 100% online instructor-led, instructor-paced, campus developed by Willis College catapulting them into the new and exciting world of online learning. Programs will be offered Canada-wide.

“Willis College Online is an exciting new offering that we’re extremely excited about,” said Willis College Chief Operating Officer, Ramona Buda, “We are so excited to be able to open new educational opportunities to those individuals that can’t commit to driving to school every day, or are unable to attend classes during regular business hours. We’re breaking down barriers to accessing an education. With Willis College Online programs students follow instructor-paced courses with specific due dates for assignments and exams – but are able to do this without having to give up on their work or family commitments.”

Willis College has long been known as a technological leader. Now, spurred by the success of online learning during COVID-19 and the general trend of working and studying from home, Willis College Online is a natural progression for Willis College. The new online offering will begin classes on November 1, 2020, offering three core programs: Medical Office Administrator, Addictions and Community Support Worker, and Business Administration. These programs are only the beginning with online offerings growing and diversifying as the campus grows.
