SAIT’s Continuing Education and Professional Studies (CEPS) focuses on non-credit programs supporting corporate training, the individual learner and international projects. We create courses and programs for life-long learning with careers at our core. Our courses range from exploring general interests to up-skilling for career advancement and reskilling for career changes. We complete all background activities required to set up our products for students to purchase and experience several delivery options.
Our Individual Learner offerings through the Continuing Education and Professional Studies Subdivision are scheduled at a variety of times throughout the week to suit our diverse learner population. These courses course be throughout Monday – Friday during core daytime business hours, during the evenings, or throughout the weekends. Our learners are mature, focused, and want to be challenged.
The instructor's role is to professionally manage and engage students in the learning process and to ensure that students achieve established learning objectives to the maximum of their potential. The instructor is to make use of any and all available resources, methods, techniques and strategies, to ensure student success. Instructors are expected to work collaboratively with colleagues to create a learning environment which is pedagogically sound, technically supported and innovative in nature.
