Your place or ours?

CNC’s Continuing Education department offers opportunities for people to increase their skills to advance in the workplaceor simply learn more about something that they’ve always enjoyed.

More than 2,000 people per year take Continuing Education courses in Business & Office Solutions, Trades & Technologyand Healthcare & Social Services.

“To keep up with the competition, today’s businesses need to stay updated and innovative,” said Barbara Old, Dean ofCNC’s Continuing Education department. “Our business and office technology courses will keep you on the cutting edge.Along with a full public training calendar, we can customize training in MS Office programs, management skills, conflictresolution, leadership development, customer service and many other business-related courses.

CNC instructors can also bring their in-depth business knowledge and subject matter expertise directly to your workplace,or you can choose to spend some time away from the office learning new skills and ideas.

“Your place or ours, we will deliver the training that will keep your business on course for success,” said Old.

Contract training comes in very handy when it comes to trades and technology because it allows companies to increase theskills and thus productivity of its workforce without disrupting business.

CNC can also provide highly specialized training to businesses which choose to share the cost with others in a similarsituation.

“With training needs such as Occupational Health and Safety, it is far more sensible to offer that training on the machinery inquestion and in the environment it is being used, such as your own work site,” says Old.

“In these situations, our co-ordinators can deliver training directly to your site, or you can choose to access our CNCcampus equipped with the latest in trades equipment and technology, or, if it fits your needs better, mining and bush campsites. We can offer the flexibility to accommodate your work day schedule or even handle shift workers schedules,” said Old.

Perhaps your staff only requires a quick brush up, or needs to focus on a particular element of the overall job (newtechnology, new techniques); maybe it’s a review of new standards or rules and regulations; it may be as simple as re-certifying skills to remain compliant with today’s environment.

Some examples of contract courses delivered by our trades and technology division include: WorkSafe BC training, CFCRecovery & Air Conditioning, Chainsaw Safety (ENFORM), mobile equipment training, Hybrid Vehicles systems and pesticidedispenser/applicator.

The Health Care field continues to grow as new technologies and treatments are added. The scope of work for many frontline health care workers has evolved and changed over the years requiring upgrading and specializing in a number of areas.CNC can provide flexibility to training that allows for entire departments and different shifts to attend on a timetable thatworks for them. We use instructors directly from the health care system that understand and know the training needs firsthand. Whether it is a one-off upgrade to new technology or ongoing training / certification, we can work with you to providethe best options, using the CNC labs or delivering directly on your site.

Whatever your needs, CNC’s Continuing Education department is confident it can help you achieve your objectives. ContactCNC’s Continuing Education today at 250-561-5846 or [email protected] to discuss your training requirements.
