Learning environment
Courses feature a wide variety of instructional techniques, including individual and group exercises and discussions. You’ll work through the program with a cohort—a diverse group of leaders—with whom you can share experience, ideas and expertise.
Coursework: What to expect
This certificate is university-level. You’ll complete pre-readings and in-class exercises for each of the courses. You’ll also complete practical assignments for each course.
In the online courses, you will set your own coursework hours, following posted assignment and discussion timelines. Through our online learning management system, Canvas, you will be able to connect with your classmates and instructors.
Graduation requirements
To receive the Executive Leadership Certificate, you must successfully complete all courses within a three-year period.
Take individual courses
If you’re not ready to take the Executive Leadership Certificate, you may still register for most courses individually if space is available. You can register directly or add your name to a waitlist if the course is full.
Technical information
If you register for our online courses, you’ll access the online courses through Canvas, our learning management system, which is available through the SFU website. Canvas is extremely user-friendly—even if you’ve never studied online before. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection.
You will receive course details and Canvas access instructions on the first day of the course. You can check if your browser is compatible with Canvas here.
