Full Time Delivery sees 100% of your classroom education take place in person, at one of our facilities around the province. The entirety of the program is instructor led, providing a quicker education with more in-person support throughout. Highlights include:

Part Time Delivery sees 83% of your classroom education take place in person, with the remaining 17% delivered online through a variety of means (self-study, assignments, facilitated seminars, etc.). This program offers a slower pace to allow students a more balanced work/life/study experience. Students must be prepared for a considerable amount of additional time on readings/assignments to make up for the reduction in face to face delivery. Highlights include:
- Average of 20 hours/week of in-person instruction
- In-person classes take place Friday-Sunday, every 2nd week
- Classroom courses last 8.5 months
