AAPS was established in 2003 to address the growing demands for practical and well-trained individuals for the pharmaceutical industry. From our desire to train skilled workers for one industry, we now offer over 15+ programs, 100+ certificate courses across 5 industries. And we have trained 3000+ graduates and 2000+ industry professionals! Over these past two decades, we have established ourselves as the Canadian premier life science training college.
Our goal of providing quality education and practical training led to many accomplishments along the way.
Our proudest accomplishment is seeing our graduates work at all levels within pharmaceutical, food, clinical, and cannabis companies. Building a community of industry professionals is one of our greatest joys.
We want to thank all our staff, students, graduates, and corporate partners who have made the last 20 years possible. You are all in our hearts for this celebration.
In 2022, we will be awarding 20 scholarships and bursaries in the honor of our 20th-anniversary celebration. Follow us on social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube) to participate. Stay tuned for more details.
