What is DUAL DELIVERY?
It is the SAA’s new term to describe a course that is in-person but available to be taken online. If you are unable to travel to SOSI, you can register to take the Dual Delivery courses.
CHECK YOUR TIME ZONE
If you plan to take your training online, be aware that the classes the class schedules are in EST (Toronto or New York City time).
OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS GET AN INCREDIBLE DEAL
If you live in the USA, SOSI courses offer a great way to take advantage of the CAD to USD exchange rate ($100 CAD is approximately $70 USD).
We also offer teacher training bursaries to help with tuition. Please see the Bursaries page, and contact Tracy Jewell if you’d like to apply for one.
