Your Primier SHSM Training Partner

We are ready to help you with your SHSM certificate delivery.

Learning Outcome Focused

Each program is organized into learning modules, with no more than three core concepts per session. This means higher retention and application of skills for all participants.

Access to Data

You and the School Board Lead will receive an aggerated data set for all the training feedback evaluations to ensure we are meeting your expectations.

Curriculum Alignment

Each certificate training includes pre-mapped linkages to the Ministry of Education Curriculum Guides for secondary students for easy connections back to the SHSM course credits.

Certificate of Completion

Each participant receives a physical certificate of completion mailed to their school and a Credly badge for their social media profiles.

On-site Delivery

Training happens at your site, ensuring maximum participation while reducing the planning stress of buses and release forms.

Transparent Pricing

As resource stewards, you can see a detailed breakdown of how certificate costs are calculated to ensure accountability for the SHSM funding.

Answers to Common Questions

Here are some responses to common questions we receive. If your question is missing send us an email!

How frequently do we add certificates

Each certificate has a unique development timeline to ensure the models are deeply connected to the purpose of the SHSM program and Ministry of Education curriculum. Currently, the Institute aims for a weekly launch of new certificates.

What are End Point Assessments (EPA)

End Point Assessments, or EPAs, are a summative evaluation of all modules within a training program. SHSM Certificates must include one of the five EPA methods:

a practical assessment;
an interview;
a project;
written and/or multiple-choice tests; OR
a presentation.

Do students get a certificate

Students who complete each module and receive a pass or distinction on their EAP get an official certificate for their portfolio.

Certificates are mailed to the school care of the SHSM Lead who completed the booking.

What happens if a student is sick or is unable to complete

We acknowledge that life can bring unexpected challenges, even with the best intentions. When a student is unable to participate in training or complete their training, two things can occur:

Student is unable to start training: a seat credit is provided to the school for use when the student can participate.
Student is removed/stops during a training session: in discussion between the facilitator and the SHSM lead a re-seat of the missed modules may be possible.
