The program has been reviewed and endorsed by McMaster University.

To earn a certificate, you will need to complete all required modules and a minimum of two elective modules totalling 22 points within 90 days from registering. Required modules are worth 2 points and elective modules are worth 1 point. Once you have earned 22 points, you will then fill out a course evaluation in order to receive your certificate of completion.
