From the moment you start until your final day of training, we are here to help you prepare for and successfully complete your apprenticeship. Services and resources offered through Fanshawe College are tailored with apprentices in mind, providing you with the support you need to succeed.
If you had an IEP in either High School or Elementary School or have a suspected learning challenge, you might be eligible for accommodations during your schooling.
Accommodations could include:
Do you have trouble remembering or recalling the information that you learned or how to balance both school and life's commitments? We can show you tips on managing your time to complete assignments and labs on time, how to study to get information into your long term memory and how to be successful.
If you had an IEP or test/exam accommodations previously, or if you have a suspected learning challenge, you might be eligible for test accommodations while completing your apprenticeship at Fanshawe College.
Accommodations could include:
These accommodations can also be used for the C of Q (Certificate of Qualification)
If you need assistance with taking notes or had a note taker before, you could be eligible for the same accommodations.
Note taking options:
Alternate Format is a service offered to students with a documented disability who require their textbook in an electronic format. This format allows you to have your text read out loud with the use of Adaptive Technology.
You must have proof of purchase (store receipt) for all textbooks requested. Please speak to the Adaptive Technologist if you believe this is a service that may benefit you in your learning.
If you need a Laptop for disability-related purposes, the Inclusive Technology Centre has a loan service that can help. We have equipment through our loan service that you can borrow for the duration of your program. Training on how to use the Adaptive Technology is available.
Equipment available through the Loan Service:
