North Island College operates a campus in the Comox Valley, one of four locations on Vancouver Island offering post-secondary education. The Comox Valley campus focuses on hands-on learning in high-demand fields across three main educational pathways: trades training preparing students for job-ready careers, community and healthcare services programs for meaningful work in those sectors, and university-level programs with transfer-friendly credentials including associate degrees.

The campus features student housing called tul’al’txw, offering multiple accommodation options including nano, studio, quad, and family suites. This on-campus housing makes it easier for students to live close to their classes and connect with the campus community. Student support services include advising, financial aid assistance, orientation programs, and wellness services to help students succeed academically and personally.

The college positions itself as providing hands-on learning opportunities in fields with strong employment demand, making it a practical option for those looking to enter trades, healthcare, community services, or transfer to university programs. Campus tours are available for prospective students wanting to see the facilities and learn more about programs. It’s the local option for post-secondary education without needing to leave the Valley.
