Certificate programs: continuing, professional & executive education.

Certificates in continuing, professional and executive education  are also called not-for-credit certificates.  These certificates reflect the University’s commitment to offering learning as a life-long activity by providing the community and those in professional practice with opportunities to study and use its facilities. The University’s Statement of Institutional Purpose supports this commitment.

Continuing, professional and executive education (not-for-credit) certificates are offered through the School of Continuing Studies  and some divisions.

The Policy on Certificates (For-Credit and Not-For-Credit) outlines the characteristics, nomenclature, approval and oversight of these offerings. In the Policy , they fall under category 3 certificates; for-credit certificates are categories 1 and 2.

Not-for-credit certificates:

  • are offered with the knowledge and approval of the Dean, and are in line with the division’s strategic direction;
  • may have open admission but may be targeted to particular professional and quasi-professional areas;
  • comprise a coherent sequence of not-for-credit courses;
  • normally provide a mechanism for the assessment of student performance;
  • not-for-credit certificate
  • certificate in continuing studies/education or
  • certificate in professional/executive development.

The Guidelines for Continuing, Professional and Executive Education provide a framework for divisions to ensure that continuing, professional and executive education is:

  • offered in a manner consistent with the standards of excellence that govern the University’s programs and
  • complies with the Statement of Policy on Continuing Education .

The Guidelines provide help on many issues, such as developing collaborations with external organizations, contracts, logo use and costing.

Creation, Modification & Closure

Processes for creation, modification and closure of all certificates in continuing, professional and executive education (not-for-credit) are set by your division. Please contact your Dean’s Office for more information.

The VPAP Office works with Dean’s Offices to compile an annual list of certificates in continuing, professional and executive education (not-for-credit) . This list is included in an annual report by the Provost to the Committee on Academic Policy & Programs.

As one of the most recognized and widely practiced, empirically validated therapies, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has become a useful tool, either alone, or in combination with other therapies for treating a broad range of disorders.

We offer a number of standalone CBT courses for counselling professionals. Although these courses are not part of an OISE CPL Certificate, each individual course leads to a record of learning which can be used to seek certification through bodies such as The Canadian Association of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies (CACBT) .

Our dynamic experiential learning approach is experienced in a collaborative online environment through discussions, videos of specific CBT skills, group and individual activities. You’ll develop skills that you can immediately bring to your clinical practice, and benefit from observing demonstrations of interventions by experienced CBT therapists followed by clinical discussions and questions.

In addition to the online classes, an integral component of each course is weekly homework, which typically includes reading and written exercise where you’ll apply the conceptual and intervention skills you are learning to case examples. Homework helps you immediately use the material you’re learning, and creates an opportunity for your facilitators to provide individual feedback.

Originally developed for licensed practitioners of psychology and psychology services in Ontario, our CBT courses are open to social workers, guidance counsellors, educators and others who support the mental health of their clients or students. However, to get the most of these courses, you should have some background knowledge in psychology.

These accredited courses are developed to expand knowledge and improve competency in specialized areas of pharmacy practice.

Upcoming Courses

About this course.

This course aims to provide advanced knowledge and skills for health care professionals on the topic of biosimilars, a class of biologic drugs or medical therapies that are highly similar to an existing originator medication that is off patent.

Biosimilars present a rapidly growing area in pharmaceutical development, treatment options, and patient care that require an evidence-informed implementation approach.

As awareness and use of biosimilars increases globally, this course will provide information and guidance to support the effective and safe use of biosimilars in clinical settings among health care providers.

The course will focus on enhancing knowledge and skills to affect change in attitude and behaviour of health care providers related to biosimilars.

The course will utilize a modular approach to provide content that is accessible and informative to all learners, including pharmacists, physicians, nurses, students and young professionals, industry, and policy-makers.

This course may be eligible for continuing education credits through professional accreditation bodies.

The course will also provide learners with opportunities to develop skills in each of these knowledge areas, with the overall aim of improving patient-provider communication and perceptions of biosimilar use and establishing a consistent foundation among health care providers for communicating with patients about biosimilar treatment.

This course will build off of the material in BSS101 to provide advanced knowledge and skills related to use and implementation of biosimilar medications in clinical settings.

Why enroll in the course?

This program is needed for all staff and hospital/community administrators who perform or supervise any activities related to sterile and non-sterile hazardous and non-hazardous compounding, including clinical research trials and use of Special Access Programme medications. The compounding landscape is changing, requiring the implementation of the new Canadian NAPRA standards for sterile and non-sterile hazardous and non-hazardous compounded products.

This is due in part, to the several serious medication events including patient deaths that occurred in the US and Canada as a result of contaminated intravenous products or inappropriately compounded intravenous and oral products. This program will enable participants to understand current Canadian regulations and risks associated with compounding which can cause serious patients harm including death if not performed appropriately. This program is important as the current pharmacy landscape is changing from manual compounding processes to implementation of new technologies in order to fulfil Pharmacy Colleges accreditation requirements related to process standardization and product traceability.

Trends show that more and more healthcare organizations are committed to implementing new technologies and following new Canadian compounding regulations which includes implementation of safe compounding practices as a part of their quality improvement management programs.  

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  • Adopt and follow safe compounding practices.
  • Help your organization apply and sustain a culture of high-quality compounding practices.
  • Ensure patient safety with respect to sterile compounds.
  • Promote organizational investment in new technologies to support safe compounding processes.

Stuff Happens: The Neuroscience of Difficult Conversations

October 18, 2024.

No matter how hard we try, not everything ever goes according to plan. Understanding what drives our behaviour can help us communicate better with everyone in our lives, including ourselves, especially when a problem arises! In this seminar you will learn the neuroscience behind how we think and act, allowing us to deal with people with more confidence, and most importantly, less stress, particularly when patients become upset. Mindful communication sets the stage for the creating of safe and inclusive spaces to support the formation of therapeutic dentist-patient relationships, founded in empathy.  Additionally, you will also learn the steps to clearly communicate treatment plans and advocate for your patients to ensure they are appropriately consented and able to make informed decisions about their care.  

Learning Objectives 

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify details that may be overlooked and may lead to miscommunication and conflict and understand the neuroscience of communication behavior.
  • Highlight communication strategies that work, including the SPIKE and NURSE techniques used in medicine for to help address giving bad news/managing upset patients.
  • Engage in activities to develop and practice exceptional communication which leads to less stress, and happier teams and patients.
