Courses are offered by distance education, which may involve teleconferencing or computer listservs. Some courses are also available on campus in a summer immersion format. The program is designed for those already working in the profession rather than those entering it. To qualify, you must be a high school graduate with a minimum of three years' experience working in adult or continuing education. Selecting resources with students and ethical dilemmas are some of the other topics explored.
Certificates of completion are available for each module.
Students enrolled in the Continuing Adult and Career Education program at the University of Alberta can receive credit for one elective course by completing five modules with their certificate of completion tests.
