Frequently asked questions

What will my team actually be able to do? +

Each program builds genuine, job-ready capability: running modern marketing campaigns, building automations, and using AI tools confidently and safely at work. Learning is hands-on, with projects based on your own business, and competency is confirmed with a graded assessment.

Who are these programs for? +

Owners, managers, and front-line staff at B.C. businesses who want their team to master the skills that move a business today, so they can lead the work and make confident decisions. No technical background is assumed for our foundational programs.

How is the training delivered? +

In-person, on-site at your location, with hands-on exercises based on your own business and tools. Sessions are short and focused (a 90-120 minute Essential session or a 3-6 hour Full program), and scheduled around your team’s working hours.

Is funding available for employers? +

Yes. Many B.C. employers can offset a significant share of tuition through the B.C. Employer Training Grant. Full details, eligibility, and how to apply are on our Funding page.
