Notes:
Courses offered may change or be removed - webinar coordinators will follow up should changes occur.
These courses are offered on MS Teams - a web-based video conferencing platform.
It is recommended that participants read any course notes in advance of each web-based instruction session (if applicable).
Participants will have an opportunity to actively participate in the course material and receive feedback as well as open discussions on the various course topics.
Participants will receive a confirmation email along with a digital copy of the course notes for their reference. A number of useful resources may be provided to help as support of the learning process.
It is assumed that participants are reasonably comfortable with the use of computer/web-based technology or alternatively have a study-buddy that can help and assist, if required.
