Spring has been in the air for a few weeks now, but here at GLA, we’re just getting started with some new adventures and a few changes to our organization.
Some of you may have already noticed those changes, and I thought this would be a great chance to share what’s been going on at our headquarters.
We’ve changed things up a bit, but never fear, our core is still the same.
Thanks to the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, we are still able to offer our courses for free to anyone in Ontario. Our funding has allowed us to reach people in remote, rural and city centres, and thousands of people have benefited from our programming.
To create a more streamlined and accessible program, we’ve added some new features and have adjusted a few of the old ones to better serve you.
Here’s a breakdown of those changes:
You now have two options for taking our courses.
1. REGISTERED COURSES – Most of the courses offered online are only available to registered learners. By becoming a Registered Learner you will have access to all of our courses. When you first register with GLA, you will be taken to the G.O.A.L course, which must be completed to be able to sign up for these courses. Click here to see the list of available Registered Courses.
GOALs stands for Guiding Online Adult Learners. Everyone is required to complete this course as part of the registration process.
