College of the North Atlantic-Qatar (CNA-Q) was established in 2001 under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned. The College was founded with the dynamic vision to provide a world-class technical education to the students of Qatar and prepare them to contribute their learning, thinking, and experience to the social and economic growth of this country.

This vision has guided the growth and achievements of CNA-Q over these last six years and has enabled us to build a place of learning in which our partners in Qatar and Canada can all be proud.

We have grown to become this country’s second largest post-secondary educational institute and offer our students the very highest Canadian standards in education and technical training. This unique, hands-on educational experience goes beyond any textbook. Our faculty bring their years of experience, training, and passion for teaching to the classroom and share it with their students.

I believe it is this level of interaction with our faculty and our outstanding resources that help prepare our students to think and act globally. Ultimately, they then bring that outlook to their chosen careers here in Qatar.

CNA-Q has grown and expanded to meet this country’s call for a comprehensive, technical educational institute. We are fully committed to carrying that vision forward by developing more strategic partnerships, broadening our curriculum, and working closely with government, industry and business stakeholders to develop training programs that meet their diverse needs.

I believe the remarkable achievements of CNA-Q are a direct result of our employees’ hard work and diligence, our students’ passion for learning, and the trust Qatar’s government and industry have placed in us. Together, we are creating success.

Sincerely,

Enid Strickland
Interim President
College of the North Atlantic-Qatar
