Submit your responses to the required questions.
-
Proceed to checkout.

Choose to pay your program fees immediately via credit card or to be invoiced for your program fees.

-

After these steps, you will receive an automated confirmation email from our registration system. If you do not receive an email within 30 minutes of your registration, please check your spam/junk folder.
If there are any issues with your registration or your eligibility for the program to which you have registered, you will be contacted by a member of our team.
As our programs are not-for-credit leadership development programs, they do not require participants to hold specific academic credentials (i.e. a bachelor’s or master’s degree).
Eligibility requirements vary depending on the program. All of our programs are designed for working professionals and require participants to be employed (full- or part-time) in order to implement their learning at work. Most of our programs require participants to hold some type of formal leadership role in their organization, either as a manager, director, or executive. Most programs require a certain number of years of management experience. Programs for the public service require participants to be at a specific level in the federal government classification system. Healthcare programs require participants to be employed at a Canadian healthcare institution. Please refer to the specific program in which you are interested and consult the “Who Should Attend?” section to review eligibility requirements.
Some programs require a conversation with the Program Director prior to the program’s start date to ensure that participants’ learning and development goals align with the program. If this is required for the program in which you are interested, it will be detailed on the program webpage.
If, after registration, it is determined that you do not meet the eligibility criteria for the program in which you are registered, a member of our team will contact you to discuss alternative options.
Only the ICD Directors Education Program requires a formal application process. Our other leadership development programs do not require an application. However, our leadership development programs are subject to eligibility requirements, as detailed above. Please refer to the webpage of the program in which you are interested in to review the eligibility requirements.
Depending on the program, we are happy to accept international participants. Please note that, as our programs are not-for-credit leadership development programs, participants are not eligible for student visas from the Canadian government. We are unable to provide enrollment letters for travel or visa purposes. If international participants are attending in-person programs at the Centre for Executive Leadership, they must arrange travel, accommodations, and any arrangements with the Canadian government on their own behalf.
No, Telfer Executive Programs only offers not-for-credit leadership development programs. You will receive a digital badge via Credly upon completion of your program. Digital badges are blockchain-encrypted credentials that are easy to share and verify.
Yes! Our programs are offered in three formats: in-person, virtual, and blended (combining separate in-person and virtual learning elements). Our virtual programming is offered in a live online format. Participants engage with facilitators and their peers in a real-time learning environment.
Participants must attend the program in the format in which it is offered (i.e. participants may not attend in-person programs virtually.)
When you are ready to register for a program, click on ‘Register’ on the program page. You will be prompted to create an account on our registration system before you can register for a program. Fill out all required fields and choose a strong password and your account will be created. You will receive an automated email welcome message after your account has been created. Your username in our registration system is your email address.
Once you have an account, you can register for any of our programs. You will use the same account for all program registrations.
If you have forgotten your password, navigate to our sign in page and click on ‘Forgot Password?’ Input your email address in the username field and you will receive an automated email with a link to reset your password.
Yes, you can click on ‘Register Someone Else’ during the registration process to submit a registration for another individual. The person you are registering on behalf of must also have an account in our registration system. The person you have registered will receive confirmation emails at the email address associated with their account. You can list an additional contact email address with the account under ‘Assistant’s email.’
If billing is handled by a specific person in your organization, you can identify them as your billing contact by adding their email address in the ‘Bill to Email address’ field prior to checkout. Your billing contact will receive an automated copy of your invoice.
If a program fills before the registration deadline, Telfer Executive Programs will open a wait list. We encourage you to join the wait list in order to have priority to join the program in the event that someone cancels their registration. Please navigate to the program in which you are interested and click on the ‘Join Wait List’ button. You will follow the normal steps of our registration process and receive a confirmation of your place on the wait list.
If anyone registered in the program cancels their registration, participants on the wait list will automatically be registered in the program. You will receive an automated email notification from the registration system if a spot becomes available for you in the program.
If, by the program's start date, a spot does not become available for you, you will be contacted by a member of our team to register or reserve a spot in the next offering of the program.
Occasionally, we can accommodate participants joining the program after the registration deadline. Please send us an email at executiveprograms@telfer.uOttawa.ca as soon as possible to express your interest in joining the program and our team will do our best to assist you.
If we are unable to accommodate a late registration, we will be happy to help you register for or reserve a spot in the next offering of the program.
Yes! Our programs are offered on a yearly or bi-yearly basis, usually beginning in the fall, winter, or spring. If the program you are interested in has already begun, be sure to check our website to see if there is another upcoming offering available. If there is no upcoming offering available for registration, please send us an email at executiveprograms@telfer.uOttawa.ca and we will notify you when registration is available for the next cohort of the program.
All cancellations must be submitted in writing to executiveprograms@telfer.uOttawa.ca. For more details on our cancellation policy, please review our Cancellation & Payment Policy FAQs.
