FAQ

To enhance participants’ learning experience, the programs have in-person sessions to facilitate interactive group exercises, to get live feedback from instructors, and to build connections through networking. Before each micro-certificate's first session, there will be a 30-minute introduction period allowing participants to connect with instructors and fellow classmates.

Prior to each session, participants should allocate one to two hours for pre-reading. This will ensure they are fully prepared for hands-on class activities.

Students must actively participate in all sessions to earn their certificate. To emphasize our skill-focused approach, we intentionally omitted a formal evaluation process to prioritize hands-on learning and real-world application.

Each micro-certificate was intentionally scheduled on a different date to allow participants to register for as many as they wish.

Yes, the John Molson Executive Centre will provide you with a certificate for each program you complete.
