Frequently Asked Questions
Can you create custom programs covering topics you currently do not have on offer?
While our current offerings provide an extensive array of programs and topics we cover, we have plenty of experience creating programs outside the scope of these offerings. As long as there is some connection to the law and/or legal requirements or expectations in your field or industry, we can design a brand-new program that covers it.
Is there a specific number of participants needed for a customized program?
We have found that a program with 15-25 participants is usually ideal for engagement and learning, and we may recommend you consider holding more than one session of a given program if you intend to include more participants. However, we can also discuss options for a smaller group of participants.
See our Group Rates to explore whether an existing program may better suit your needs.
What is the approximate cost for a customized program?
Pricing depends on the instructor/s fee, the number of participants, program design, delivery format, and length of program.
Fill out this form to get a price estimate for the program you have in mind.
How quickly can you produce a customized program?
Depending on instructor availability and extent of customization required, we can produce a program in as little as a few weeks to a few months.
Will we get the same instructor/s as on your relevant existing program?
All our instructors are subject matter experts in their field. If you have a specific instructor in mind, we will try our best to ensure that they contribute to the program. Otherwise, we guarantee that any instructor working on your program will be an experienced, well-seasoned expert.
Will participants be awarded with an Osgoode Certificate following the completion of a custom program?
For participants to be awarded an Osgoode Certificate, they must usually complete a minimum number of hours and an assessment. The number of course hours needed typically ranges between 21-28 hours and assessments may include short-answer and/or multiple-choice questions that can be completed online, or through an in-person equivalent.
