SeminarCanada is based on the belief that your time is valuable. That you need the best, most essential, up-to -date and actionable knowledge in the least amount of time and at a reasonable cost. Each of our 200-minute virtual seminars have been edited and distilled to the point where every one of the 200 minutes we have together will be worth your time. While highly personalized, there is no time for existential ramblings, or time-filling group work. This enables us to provide you with much more solid content than the competition. Perhaps most importantly, our courses are taught by experts in their field – all with at least a master’s degree from and accredited university – many with a Ph.D., and a minimum of fifteen years of management training. Differences in Canadian corporate culture, healthcare, education, the public sector, as well as the contribution of First Nations peoples impact on our organizations and our roles within them. Our courses are uniquely Canadian.
