At Focus College we will fulfill our mission by providing a safe and comfortable learning environment. Our courses always have the most relevant and up-to-date content, taught by industry experts to ensure our students have the best experience possible.

By addressing any barriers our students may face and by conducting ourselves with the highest level of integrity and hones-ty at all times we are able to create a learning environment where all can thrive.

Our Story

In 1992 Focus Training Institute was born. The institute specialized in offering the Okanagan community programs that teach various life and professional skills. Focus Training Institute has helped many members of the community perfect their skills, launch their careers and even change their career paths.

In 2012 we evolved from a training institute to a college and began designing college level programs, specializing in Business and Information Technology (IT), that are in tune with industry needs. The focus on Business and IT speciali-zation came from a demand students were expressing. Students want to find a satisfying career after graduation and the Business and IT industries have the highest employment potential. Today, Focus College brings its vision to life with hard work, its connections within the community and partnering with SQA, an internationally recognized higher education accreditation.
