A World of Inuktut Learning
Pirurvik currently offers two full-time certificate programs in Inuktut – Aurniarvik and Qimattuvik. This year we will also be offering our Aqqusiurvik Diploma to train new Inuktut instructors. All three programs are accredited through the University of Victoria.
Qimattuvik Program
Inuktut First Language Speakers
Pirurvik’s Qimattuvik program equips Inuktut First Language speakers to be able to work more effectively and with greater confidence in their mother tongue. We focus on supporting the learner to gain Inuktut skills in writing, modern and traditional terminology, computing, dialects, Inuit cultural history and more.
Aurniarvik Program
Inuktut Second Language
for Inuit
Aunniarvik is a revitalization program for Inuit who have grown up using English as their main language. The courses create a supportive environment to develop language skills and a path towards functional Inuktut fluency.
AQQUSIURVIK Program
Inuktut Instructors Diploma
Participants in this diploma program will strengthen their Inuktut abilities while building the skills needed to be effective instructors of Inuktut immersion.
Foundations Program
Inuktut Second Language For Non-inuit
For those who are from outside Inuit culture, Pirurvik currently offers up to five courses to build a solid foundation in Inuktut speaking and writing. The foundations program is also supported by the www.tusaalanga.ca website.
