Fall 2023 Program Schedule
How it works
- Meet with one of our instructors for an intake assessment. This assessment will look at your reading and math skills to see where we will start and what materials will be needed. We will also ask questions about your interests and background to help us understand your needs and what you will enjoy.
- We will register you in one of our programs by completing a registration form. In addition to your contact information, you will be asked questions about your educational history, learning needs, and any possible challenges. We will also require your Social Insurance Number for registration purposes.
- You can then join a scheduled class time, or just come whenever you are available. There are no attendance requirements or tests; come when you can! We will use your assessment results to choose the right subjects and materials.
