Yup! I'm going back to school.
I've registered for an extension certificate in Instructional Design and Curriculum Development. It's an online programme with Mount Royal University - there are participants from all across Canada, so it's a really neat experience something like this with people from so many walks of life. There are six courses, and each one costs $299. I've already started the first and will have two over winter.
To help offset the cost I'm applying for funding through my work which would give me $1,900 if I'm successful.
Successfully completed the programme will help me to continue to advance my career and meet my personal needs of continued education.
Wish me luck!
Going Back to School!

You don't need luck, you will do well because you don't accept less than your best. Have fun with your learning.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Jessie! Good for you! And good luck! (Although I kind of agree with your mom, you don't need luck because you will work hard 😊).
ReplyDeleteThat's excellent news. I've always felt certifications would do much more good especially if you plan on furthering your line of work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your mom too. You create your own luck when you work hard.
