For the James W. Burns Executive Education Centre, virtual programs take the in-person experience and transform it into a virtual experience using the video conferencing platform Zoom.

We have worked hard to ensure that our virtual learning environment is just like our in-person classroom. You can still expect the same knowledgeable instructor committed to helping you develop your executive leadership skills, as well as an engaging learning environment with case studies, discussions and breakout sessions.

All of our virtual programs offer the same learning outcomes as their in-person equivalent and provide opportunities to tap into additional functionalities unique to the virtual environment, including polling and virtual chats. We have also optimized class sizes (size varies by program subject) for the virtual experience to ensure you get the most from your program experience.

In addition, Executive Education staff will be available throughout the delivery of your program so that if any questions arise during your virtual learning experience, you can reach them for answers using the ‘chat’ function in Zoom.

Use of a computer or laptop with a stable internet connection, functional microphone, speaker and camera is required. Our virtual programs are delivered using the user-friendly video conferencing platform Zoom. If you have not used Zoom before, it is a free application, and very easy-to-use. We recommend downloading the Zoom desktop client before the start of your program. You can visit the Zoom website for helpful webinars that will introduce you to the basics of how to install and use the platform.

No.  As all of our programs are less than 3 consecutive weeks in duration, they do not meet the CRA eligibility criteria for the issuance of a T2202.
