What We Do Specializing in Adult Learning
Continuing Studies at Western specializes in adult learning. We understand the unique needs of adults and design all of our courses and programs with those needs in mind. We know that one of the greatest challenges facing adults who want to return to or continue learning is a fear of failure and we go to great lengths to provide an environment that will enable students to be successful, while at the same time challenging them to push their boundaries. Designing innovative, unique and exciting programs and choosing exceptional instructors who understand adult learning are the most important things we do; this is what sets us apart as a leader in continuing education.
Certificates
Certificate programs are designed for practitioners who have at least two years experience in the field in question or a related area. These programs can be completed on a part-time basis over three years and help practitioners improve their career-related knowledge and skills and attain a recognized university credential. Please note that there is an application process for these programs, however interested individuals may take up to two certificate-credit courses prior to applying for formal admission. After students have completed two courses, they are required to apply and be admitted to both The University of Western Ontario, as well as to the certificate program itself.
Individual Courses
With few exceptions, all of the courses that we offer at Continuing Studies can be taken as stand-alone courses. These courses offer the best of the academic world and the real world, blending cutting edge research and exceptional instruction with applicable skills. While many courses are not evaluated-no tests, exams or assignmentsothers do involve testing, assignments and group work. Please note that there is no application process for these courses; simply register online or over the telephone and we will look after the rest.
Professional Certificates
We offer a wide variety of professional and personal development programs designed to build on your educational or work experience and take your career or personal interests to a new level. There is no application process for our Professional Certificates; simply register online or over the telephone and we will look after the rest. Students are not required to enrol in the entire program, however the Professional Certificate will only be awarded upon successful completion of all requirements in a program. Many of the courses that form a professional certificate have been developed to meet the standards of various professional organizations (e.g. HRPAO, PMI, ADR Institute of Ontario, CIM). For details on how you can use our courses to achieve a professional designation, please contact our office.

Welcome to the wonderful world of language learning, where you will find enthusiastic, knowledgeable instructors and meet others who share your interest in building bridges to other cultures. Business or travel plans may require you to develop new language skills, or perhaps speaking a new language is simply something you have always wished you could do. Well, now you can! Continuing Studies at Western offers courses in French and Spanish at a variety of levels designed to balance challenge with enjoyment.
The Program
The emphasis is on learning to use the language to communicate orally. However, reading is also encouraged and some written exercises are assigned. Essential grammar is taught as the necessary framework on which to build communication skills. Language courses are not graded, however successful completion is based on attendance of 80% of instructional hours.
A Trip to Paris
Dr. Paul Davenport invites you to walk with him on an historical and sensory tour through the streets of late 19th century Paris and its western suburbs.
Discover the neighbourhoods that gave rise to Impressionist painting, great literature and wild operettas, as we follow in the steps of Monet, Renoir, Morisot, Zola, Maupassant and Offenbach and view Paris as the artists saw it and as it looks today.

The Program
This Professional Certificate program consists of five highly-integrated project management courses consistent with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBok) developed by the Project Management Institute, plus two business-related courses. The courses in this program have been compared to average undergraduate programs in intensity and time commitment. Each in-class course is presented using a hands-on, case study approach. Chapter readings and web-based presentations will comprise the regular homework, while classroom sessions will focus on applying the concepts covered in the homework. Online courses are structured the same way as their in-class counterparts, making it relatively easy for students to alternate between formats over the course of completing the program. The first course, Introduction to Project Management, provides the foundational knowledge and terminology necessary for all other courses. The courses have been designed to be taken sequentially, however, highly motivated individuals who wish to fast-track their progression may take more than one course at a time. Prerequisites must be adhered to and students should be mindful of the intensity of each course. Not all courses are offered every semester in both online and in-class formats. Students are advised to plan their course timetables carefully and register at least one week in advance of the start of each course. Students are encouraged to contact Continuing Studies if they require assistance in mapping their program progression and completion. All Project Management courses (both in-class and online) are enhanced with online learning. Participants require access to the Internet. Please see page 39 for details and system requirements. PMI, PMBoK and the PMI R.E.P. logo are marks of the Project Management Institute Inc.

Aside from the hard skills such as accounting and financial analysis, the Western CIM program has empowered me to view my work environment in new and interesting ways. The Organizational Behaviour course was particularly fascinating as it provided new insights into how people interact with one another and what motivates such interaction. It was fun to observe my colleagues with this newfound knowledge! Personally, the breadth of program content allowed me to better understand and appreciate the work of others and the value of collaboration, both within my department and beyond.
