Oscar International College provides professional education in the leading skills which the students need to adapt to their workplace and build a better career with the best paying jobs. Our quality education, creativity, and innovation have led us to forge a new path that meets our students’ upcoming needs, community, and country.
During the first phase of COVID-19, we were facing many challenges as we worked hard to transition from in-person classes to online format smoothly for our entire Oscar family. We shift our courses to instructor-led digital format within 2-3 business days. Thanks to all the staff members, instructors, and the students for this transition and precautions to avoid COVID-19 spread; added Parvinder Kalra – President at Oscar International College.

Oscar International College programs are being delivered 100% online since the pandemic started in March 2020. Suppose Ministry in British Columbia allowed institutions to teach courses offline or in a blended model, then the entire Oscar family ready to make that shift as well. Vancouver, Surrey, and Abbotsford campuses are closed for in-person classes until the province allows institutions to open it for in-person classes. Currently, our campuses are used by our internal team members only.
As B.C. progresses through its reopening phases, HealthLink BC recommends the following to stop the spread of COVID-19:
1. Physical distancing. Keep a physical distance between yourself and others when you are out.
2. Avoid contact. Avoid handshaking and hugs outside of your family.
Smile and wave instead.
3. Wash your hands. Especially after returning home and before eating. Clean your phone and work surfaces frequently.
4. Wear non-medical or cloth masks. A non-medical mask or face covering is recommended when you cannot keep a safe distance from others.
5. Don’t touch your face. Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth.
6. Practice respiratory etiquette. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of tissues immediately.
7. Isolate if you feel sick. Even if you have only mild symptoms, self-isolate for a minimum of 10 days.
8. Do not go to work, school, or public places.
9. Get tested. Anyone with symptoms, however mild, can get tested for COVID-19. Find a testing centre

Everything that I learned at Kempbelle University really helped put me above the competition in the field of business management.
