Audit vs Credit

Students that come to the Warner Flight School have two options. First, they can choose to audit courses in Alberta. This means that students will enroll in Alberta Education approved classes, but these classes will not count for credit, nor be officially recorded by Alberta Education. What this means for the student is that there is less stress for international students to be in our classroom if they choose not to have their classes count for credit. This is an excellent option for those students that wish to focus on learning English rather than on focusing on a high school diploma.

The second option is to enter into Alberta Education courses and have them count for credit. This means courses count towards graduation. If a student chooses this option, each student must meet a minimum of 100 credits earned to obtain an Alberta Education High School Diploma. Most courses are five credits (one credit = 25 hours of instruction). Credits are earned from Grade 10 to Grade 12. In the case of a transfer, the principal of your school would transfer your credits into an Alberta equivalent so no years of schooling are lost in Alberta.
