Training Program

The CoopZone Training Program consists of 8 modules that can be taken individually or together in segments of 4 over the course of 2 years. Most students choose to take all eight courses, one course at a time, over two years.

Every course includes all downloadable online reading material, two 90-minute participatory online classes and access to the recordings, and two one-hour mentorship sessions with your assigned experienced CoopZone mentor. Courses generally involve a time commitment of 2-4 hours a week depending on the student’s own depth of participation.

Each course costs $750+tax, and is eligible to be declared in your Canadian tax return as tuition paid to an academic institution. If cost is a barrier, CoopZone maintains a network of partners that can offer financial aid depending on the needs and situations of an applicant. You can signal your interest in seeking financial aid upon applying, and we will work toward finding funding for you.
