Although not a formal pre-requisite for registration\, completion of this certificate or significant previous training and/or work experience in this area is strongly recommended. \nSpace will be limited\, so register early! \nBursary – Indigenous Learners \nOsgoodePD Bursary for Indigenous Learners OsgoodePD offers financial assistance to individual learners who identify as Indigenous (defined as Status\, Non-Status\, Métis\, and Inuit).
