What Eastern College does

Eastern College is a private Canadian career college founded in 1992 and operated as part of triOS Education Group. The institution delivers hands-on, career-focused diploma programs across six faculties: Business, Healthcare, Technology, Law, Supply Chain, and Education. Programs typically range from several weeks to under one year in duration, and 96% include an internship component; the college reports 95% graduate employment and over 90,000 graduates supported across the broader group since 1992.

The college operates four physical campuses in Atlantic Canada (Fredericton, Saint John, Moncton, Halifax) and delivers programs via on-campus, online-remote, online-self-study, and hybrid formats. Recent product launches in 2025-2026 have emphasized AI-themed curriculum (Graphic Design Using AI, Digital Marketing and Graphic Design Using AI, Data Analysis and AI Specialist, Mobile/Web Developer Using AI) and expanded online delivery for regulated credentials such as CHIMA-accredited Health Information Management. Specific programs hold third-party accreditations (CMTCA, CHIMA) and institutional policies govern generative AI usage by students and staff.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time tuition and program fees, supplemented by a $100 non-refundable international student application fee and a $100 alumni referral reward. Customer segments are predominantly individual learners (career changers, international students), with healthcare employer partnerships (Kindred Home Care, Remember When HealthCare, Massage Addict) and scholarship partnerships (Indspire, TD Insurance affinity) supporting recruitment and placement. Marketing and distribution are multi-channel: Education Consultants at each campus, online inquiry and appointment booking, virtual information sessions and open houses, social media, and referrals through sister college triOS College in Ontario.
