Course Formats

Continuing Education (CE) at Michener works with educational designers and subject matter experts to create accessible course content that leverages different learning methods. You can register for a series of certificates and courses offered online, in-person and, in some cases, with flexible timelines. FACILITATED COURSES ONLINE Facilitated courses start at specific times throughout the year and usually run for about 12 weeks, or one semester. Online facilitators help you learn throughout the course from week to week, and include various assessment components to help solidify your learning. This includes many specialty courses, certificate courses and webinars.

SELF-STUDY COURSES ONLINE Self-Study courses are open for registration any time throughout the year. Complete a course at your own pace and within one year of registration. This flexible option gives you control over how long you spend learning online, and tutors are available virtually to answer your questions and guide you through the course. At Michener, most self-study options are online.

VIRTUAL COURSES ONLINE Virtual workshops allow for synchronous learning where participants can interact with each other and facilitators in real-time.

CLASSROOM-BASED COURSES

Some courses are offered exclusively in a classroom or require hands-on, simulated practice to ensure you acquire both the knowledge and skills you need to be successful. The CE runs many workshops, such as Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support, and in topics including conflict resolution and cultural humility.

HYBRID COURSES

Hybrid courses are designed to deliver content online, and have in-person, classroom components to reinforce learning. Classroom-based instruction paired with online learning also has the added benefit of meeting your peers and instructors face-to-face.
