Process/Instructions:

Once you have completed and submitted the online course request form, an OAFC coordinator will follow up with you in regards to details for your course. 

If you do not have an internal instructor, ensure you note that on the form below.  The OAFC coordinator will secure one for you.  Once your instructor has been confirmed, we will be in contact with you to facilitate discussions regarding training room setup/etc.

Departments/hosts must provide the following for the course:

1.    Projector, screen and computer.

2.    Flip chart and markers

3.    Room for up to 40 attendees

Departments are responsible for submitting a registration list for your course, not later than ten (10) business days prior to the course.   This is a requirement in order to prepare and mail course materials.

Once all information is received, course materials will be prepared and sent to your department.  The course has an evaluation process.  We ask that all participants complete the evaluations.  The OAFC collects the data for all courses to ensure quality control, consistency and for further course developments.
