- Experience post-secondary training, tuition free (if a school district chooses to pay for the student’s tuition costs).
- Earn dual credit for each course (3 TRU credits and 4 Ministry of Education credits for each TRU Start BC course).
- Enjoy the benefits of TRU faculty-supported instruction.
- Enhance their résumé by demonstrating commitment to education, time management skills and direction.
- Experience the world of e-learning and begin to build the foundations for life-long learning.
