VIU

Vancouver Island University (VIU) operates a regional learning centre in Parksville, often called the Parksville-Qualicum Centre, which serves local communities on central Vancouver Island.

This centre provides accessible education and training close to home, offering a mix of university courses, career preparation programs, professional development, and community learning opportunities. It is designed to support students who may not attend the main campus in Nanaimo but still want access to quality post-secondary education.
