Problem with your Order
There’s a multitude of reasons why a learner would not receive full access to their course some of them include:
- Not completing a prescreening form.
- Not enrolling for IBM’s Skillsbuild.
- Using multiple emails for the signup process
- Using the wrong/invalid email during registration.
For the vast majority of cases, the reason why a learner has not received full access to Udemy is usually because of three specific reasons.
- They have not completed a course prescreening
- They have not signed up for Skillsbuild using the link in their email.
- They have signed up for Skillsbuild, but not with our specific Skillsbuild link.
If this is the case, please complete the prescreening form or register for Skillsbuild. If you have registered for skillsbuild and still have not recieved access please email support skillsbuild@alberta.college

In-class learning
SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) Disrupted traditional learning for everyone. To protect our learners, staff and volunteers, The Royal Alberta College pivoted to become a virtual (synchronous) and asynchronous training entity (this is our primary delivery method now).
When in-class learning is required, classes will be offered with our public partners, including the Orange Hub located at:
The Royal Alberta College, 10045 156 St NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T5P 2P7 and at other government entities.
