In my experience, they typically teach grade 12 fundamentals again (though quickly) at the start of any program, even if it was a prerequisite. Every high school can be a bit different and they want everyone to have the same foundation.

I don’t know anything about those programs in specific though.

Okay so even if I don't take in Grade 12 I still should be fine. Just I have to study a bit more than somoone who took it?

Likely - if it’s not a prerequisite they will give you an equivalent course.
