Fundamentals of International Education
Fall 2025
Training Overview
This self-directed online training will provide an overview of the Canadian education system, showcase the key organizations and associations in Canada and abroad supporting international education, and present a historical snapshot of evolution of international education in Canada.
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.
