Our History
Career City College was founded in 2014 with a mission to champion career success through accessible and up-to-date skills development. From the beginning, we aimed to pioneer online learning by offering a dynamic online experience, initially targeting remote, underserved municipalities in BC. Over time, our reach expanded to serve the general Canadian population.
Recognizing the need to modernize program delivery, our founder Jag Basran, with his background in software engineering and business management, sought to leverage new technologies and innovations to bring career training into the 21st century.
Significant milestones in our journey include achieving PTIRU designation, which recognize the quality of our training services and allow us to support our communities further. Additionally, our early adoption and optimization of online training methods positioned us as leaders in this space well since 2014.

Student Success Stories
Skylyn Mundell
I recently took the Business Management in Accounting program and was very pleased with everything! I learned a lot and the professors were very helpful and supportive, they made sure they made the time to help if needed and the course outline was laid out perfectly!
Sarah
I had a great experience with Career City College! I took the accounting/bookkeeping course and absolutely loved it. I could do it on my own time while still working to be able to pay the bills. They were always there and ready/willing to help if I was stuck on anything. The program was explained very well and the classes weren’t boring whatsoever. I also moved on to get the job that I wanted as an accounting tech and absolutely love it. Very thankful for this experience!
Tanya
As I have an auditory learning disability and eager to learn about the office administrator course. Career City College were able to accommodate with a voice reader that read the information with ease. Which made learning a lot easier.
Hailee Hearn
I can’t say enough good things about Career City College & the staff!! I called up one day interested in a complete different program than I am taking & if it wasn’t for my career advisor; I would never have known about the human resource management program. She listened to my issues with finding work after school & having small kids & she matched the most perfect program & future career to my needs. That stood out the most being a mom! It’s also a bonus I don’t have to go to school, find daycare & still have time for my kids with doing my schooling from home. I will always highly recommend this school!
Daliborka
I completed the Accounting Bookkeeping Certificate at Career City College through the fully online program. It was an excellent way for anyone wanting to study and continue to work at the same time. The course modules were laid out well and everything was easy to understand. Anytime I had problems that stumped me, all my instructors were just an email away and able to help me. The course teaches the basics needed to become an employable bookkeeper. Since graduating I have started my own business and already have three clients. I would highly recommend Career City College.
