What is the International College of Infection Control Professionals?
International College of Infection Control Professionals is a training provider focused on infection prevention and control (IPC) education and related professional development.

  • Public health, dental, clinic, and community care settings
  • Organizations seeking standardized IPC training
Do I need to be a healthcare professional to take your courses?
Not always. Many courses are appropriate for beginners. Any prerequisites (if required) will be listed on the course page.
Are your programs approved by the government?
It depends on the program type:
  • Vocational programs (when offered) generally require approval under Ontario’s career college rules.
  • Non-vocational continuing education courses generally do not require approval under those rules.
We clearly distinguish vocational vs non-vocational programs on course pages and on our Program Approval / Regulatory Status page.
