IE-Pro

Training Overview

This self-directed online training explores frameworks of intercultural competence within the context of international education. It will emphasize the importance of understanding the application and limitations of these frameworks, and their impact on educational practices, policies, and student outcomes. Learners will explore historical and contemporary considerations, develop skills for fostering inclusive and accessible environments, and critically examine the role of educators and practitioners in promoting cultural competence among students, staff, and faculty.

Intended Audience

This online training is geared toward new practitioners in the international education sector, and anyone interested in learning more about the sector and the higher education landscape in Canada. This online training is open to all practitioners but will also become a prerequisite for some applicants of the International Students and Immigration Education Program (ISIEP), an online course designed to upskill practitioners who plan to write the entry-to-practice exam (EPE) to become Regulated International Student Immigration Advisors (RISIA). ISIEP applicants will either be employed in a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and work with international students OR have completed all 3 prerequisite courses. Visit the ISIEP webpage for more information regarding the specific eligibility criteria of this program.

Certificate of Completion

Certificates of completion will be awarded to those who successfully complete the program.
