      Stephen…this is a free training program offered by the UofT. Please note that it is NOT the PSW certificate course! It is a continuing education training program.

    Registration won’t work when I register. Is the link expired?

      Megan…the registration link for the UofT training is working fine. You will first have to register and create a profile before taking the online training.
