Townshend College of Business & Computers Inc., founded in 1992, currently offers diploma programs, certificate courses, and continuing education opportunities as well as corporate training and consulting services. It is registered as a private career college under the Private Career Colleges Act, 2005.

Townshend is committed to student success, certainly during their student life, but also in their work and professional careers. That commitment means we believe in excellence in the learning environment, faculty with practical, academic and teaching expertise, and a staff working to build and maintain a smoothly run operation. It also means that we believe our work-ready programs can enable students to transfer successfully from classroom learning to effective job performance.

Today, our world demands greater competence and multi-discipline skills from us. We are becoming communities of adult learners. We find that being able to discover what we need is as important as learning how to do what we need. Lifestyles have changed and increasingly more mature adult learners attend colleges and universities. Technology increasingly rules our living habits and requires on-going development of our individual skills and knowledge base.

Is it any wonder, then that life-long learning – both formal and informal – is a fact of life?
