LEARNING OPTIONS
Flexible programs.
OPEN YEAR ROUND. On campus. Downtown. Online.
At University of Calgary Continuing Education, all certificate programs have been developed with part-time learners in mind, making it possible for you to pace your program to fit your life. Given that most students have other significant time commitments, we recommend taking no more than two courses at one time.
FLEXIBLE COURSE DELIVERY
TAKING COURSES ONLINE
BMC 352 LEARNING ONLINE
Courses are offered in a variety of formats including classroom and online. Occasionally, courses are offered in a blended format — partially in the classroom and partially online. Some certificates are achieved completely in the classroom, others completely through online learning. Some certificate programs give you the choice of taking your courses in the classroom or online.
Learning online caters to busy schedules by taking the learning experience out of the traditional classroom and on to the Internet.
Discover more about yourself as an online learner in a supportive environment and ultimately determine if online learning is for you. Compare your current skills, habits and technical knowledge against what’s typically required for success in Continuing Education online courses. Whatever your starting point, you will develop and improve your abilities to connect, communicate and collaborate with others online. If you have previously taken an online course, you may apply to have the BMC 352 Learning Online requirement waived. If you have previously taken BMC 152 Learning Online, you are not required to take BMC 352 Learning Online.
TAKING COURSES IN THE CLASSROOM Continuing Education courses are held at the University of Calgary main and downtown campuses at times that are convenient for adult learners. Class times vary, depending on the program. University of Calgary Main Campus 2500 University Drive NW University of Calgary Downtown Campus 906 8th Avenue SW
Most of Continuing Education’s online courses are instructor-led interactive courses. Students work within scheduled start- and end-dates and observe set timelines for learning activities and assignments. For most courses, students are free to choose when they go online during the week. However, some courses require that students attend online classes on designated dates and at designated times. For courses that allow you to choose when you will go online, you should plan to log in to the University’s online learning software three to four times per week in order to keep pace with the class. You should plan on studying and working approximately six hours per week per course.
Note: New sections of this course are added regularly as demand requires. For an up-to-date list of currently offered sections, go to conted. ucalgary.ca/learningonline, or for access to the Learning Online Prerequisite Waiver Form, go to conted.ucalgary.ca/elearn/

TECHNOCREEP: THE SURRENDER OF PRIVACY AND THE CAPITALIZATION OF INTIMACY Saturday, September 20
Saturday, September 20 Technocreep: The Surrender of Privacy and The Capitalization of Intimacy
Technology has started to move into a new, and very creepy phase. Wheels are turning within wheels and information is flowing in ways that most people don’t understand. We’ve heard a lot about government surveillance, but what businesses are doing may be even more disturbing. For example, you look up a product on Amazon and suddenly it’s showing up as an ad on your Facebook Page. Your eyeballs have just been sold to the highest bidder, through a little known system called FBX (Facebook Exchange). Or, you walk down Main Street USA at Walt Disney World and smell cookies baking. What you actually smell is a chemical pumped into the air by a patented machine called The Smellitzer. You’ve just been hit by scent marketing. Stores and shopping malls are starting to use cameras to track your movements and mine data from where you linger, what you look at, and especially, what you pick up but don’t purchase.

BUSINESS SEMINARS COMPOSING YOUR LIFE: STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS
CONFIDENCE IN COMMUNICATION
CONQUERING YOUR FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
What’s your passion in life? Where will you focus your attention over the next year, professionally and personally? What are the strategies for staying energized in the face of so many professional and personal demands? Just as companies create a strategic plan to guide their business direction and steer through choppy waters of uncertainty, busy professionals need to do the same. Our complex world demands smart solutions. This engaging one-day seminar will provide you with the template and skills to design a personal plan that will set the tone and direction for future decisions and actions.
Have you ever wished you had responded differently to a situation? Are there conversations to which you could have contributed, but held back? This one-day seminar will help you examine what has stopped you in the past, as well as how to find the confidence you need to speak up appropriately, in a timely way. It’s time to change the way you’ve communicated in the workplace or at home by building more confidence in conversations. It’s time to ask yourself if you are in charge of your world, or if your world is in charge of you. It’s time to change your mind, and tap into your unlimited strength.

Managers and employees may compete for financial and human resources; they may be in conflict over the policies and goals of the organization; or who has the authority to make decisions. Negotiation is a method to resolve conflict in order to reach an agreement that benefits both sides while recognizing that each side will protect its own self-interest. In this seminar, you will be introduced to the Creative Negotiating approach and steps in the negotiating process.
Topics · Hard, soft and creative negotiating; What are the differences? · Principles of Creative Negotiating · Steps in the negotiating process · Clarifying interests, issues and positions · Measuring the outcomes of the negotiation · Power in the negotiating relationship · Alternatives to negotiating · Communication skills in negotiating · Dealing with your stakeholders

DEALING WITH THE DIFFICULT CONVERSATION The difficult conversation is stressful; it feels like an invisible minefield. It could be about telling someone that you are upset; giving bad news; or telling your manager, co-worker, or family member that they have done something that distresses you. The problem with these difficult conversations is that we spend more time worrying about them than engaging in them, with the result being that we either ‘blow it,’ put the conversations off too long, or avoid them altogether. This session presents ways to handle difficult discussions with skill and confidence. Learn an assertive yet respectful method for discussing concerns with others. This method works well for giving constructive feedback, getting your views heard in tense situations, and encouraging others to change behaviour. You will practise the method in a friendly environment using sample situations or your own challenges.
Topics · A special kind of listening · Headspace talk for success or sabotage · Perspective: who and what is this all about? · Success factors: before you begin, during, and after · Turning up the heat: what to do in open conflict · The model: walkthrough and practice · Topics from participants

BUSINESS SEMINARS DO LESS AND ACHIEVE MORE: ZONE OF OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE Traditionally, the zone has been seen as the domain of athletes, artists, scientists, and high-level corporate achievers. Yet in today’s new era of creativity and innovation, every leader needs to be able to access his or her own zone of optimal performance and create environments for others to do the same. Competitive advantage comes from differentiation. It’s not only about what you do in the workplace but how you do it. When you’ve got that edge, you shine. And that shine comes from your ability to stay energized. Instead of multi-tasking and becoming drained, focus on the vital actions that really matter. Learn how to activate your inner intelligence so that everything you do becomes effortless and seamless. Drawing on insights from brain and creativity research, sports psychology, and multi-media presentations, this seminar provides you with the knowledge and tools for managing your mind, resources, and talents effectively to produce greater results in less time. This seminar is spaced to allow for one day to apply knowledge and techniques learned in the ‘zone lab.’
Topics · · · ·
Leaders in the zone How to work smart not hard Vital actions to get results Energy management to optimize you and your team’s performance · Parallel-tasking instead of multi-tasking to manage multiple projects and tasks · Focusing on what you do best · Techniques for increasing creativity and generating great ideas and solutions in a flash

EFFECTIVE WRITING IN THE WORKPLACE From daily email demands to reports and proposals, clear written communication is the common currency of the workplace. Invariably this communication takes place within a frenetic, fast-paced environment. Many in the workforce find their communication demands increasing exponentially yet have no in-house support. This workshop is designed to provide that support. In a friendly, relaxed workshop environment, you will practise your writing and editing skills, addressing key issues surrounding communication in the workplace.
Topics · How do I get started writing? · How can I speed up the writing process? · How can I become more flexible in the way I approach diverse writing challenges? · Do I really need to understand grammar to become a better writer at work? · How do I make my writing as concise and clear as possible? · How can I confidently ‘fix’ sentences that don’t convey the meaning I want them to convey? · How can I develop a written voice that is appropriate for a number of work-related situations? · Is there an easy way to know what punctuation would be appropriate in specific sentences? · What kinds of writing flaws should I be looking for when I proofread my writing and the written work of others?
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE Emotional Intelligence (EI, EQ) is said to be two times more important than our intellectual intelligence (IQ) or technical competence. Time Magazine says: “IQ gets you hired but EQ gets you promoted.” The terms of reference about what constitutes personal and professional competence have changed. Today, we need to integrate intellectual and emotional intelligence in order to make positive things happen in our lives, our families, and our organizations or communities. Dr. June Donaldson’s emotional intelligence model is called Emotional SMARTS®. It discusses the A,B,C, and D of staying emotionally smart; being grounded, centered, and focused, particularly during times of change, challenge, conflict, and uncertainty. ‘A’ relates to awareness skills; ‘B,’ behaviours; ‘C,’ contact or connection skills; and ‘D,’ decision-making — all critical life and work skills and competencies.
Topics · Emotional SMARTS® in terms of how you manage yourself and your interactions with others · The four Emotional SMARTS® cornerstones that form the foundation of emotional intelligence and wellness · Individual performance in the 16 characteristics that underpin the four cornerstones · Skills and competencies to enhance one’s Emotional SMARTS®, both personally and professionally

BUSINESS SEMINARS ENERGIZE YOUR WORKPLACE: INSPIRING AND MOTIVATING PEOPLE “I have no idea how to motivate these people!” If you’ve uttered these words, you’re in good company and can benefit from a program that addresses this challenge head-on. Are you committed to renewing your workplace, to breathing life into your culture, and creating a place where people are inspired and excited? People who feel overworked and undervalued gradually stop ‘showing up.’ They hold back their energy, enthusiasm, and commitment. Is it time to explore some new and practical perspectives on leadership and inspiration, to get past ‘flavour-of-the-month’ initiatives and cut straight to what is real and effective? People are changing. They want more from work and their workplaces. To attract and keep the best and brightest talent requires more than money and professional status. It means taking seriously the need to create more soulful workplaces, understanding that intrinsic pride matters more than money. Shifting values means that people want to make a difference, experience a high quality work life, engage their deepest energies in pursuit of excellence at home and at work. They want great leadership, opportunities to develop mastery, to feel respected and appreciated, and to work in a robust community. They even want to have fun!
Objectives · Leave this program feeling more capable of managing the most challenging and compelling issue that leaders face. Practical and inspirational, this program offers the tools and insights to attract and retain the best talent, and create a culture that is turned on and fully alive.

Chances are, somewhere along the line, you have experienced change in your workplace as a result of downsizing, market changes, technology shifts, conflict in the organization, or simply as a result of a leadership change. Increasingly, today’s organizations are running lean and mean, and creating the kind of environment that necessitates frequent change. You also may have noticed that some organizational changes do not succeed — and that while some people are energized and motivated by change, others don’t embrace change at all. This workshop offers approaches and tools to implement more effectively the people side of organizational change.
Topics · Understanding the nature of change — size, scope, complexity and people impacts · Tools for assessing the change: readiness and impact · Assessing sponsorship for your change · Helping people be ready, willing and able to implement change · Measuring program success · Action planning
IMPROVING COMMUNICATION AT WORK What is your preferred communication style: get-to-the-point, fact based, analytical, or warm, chatty and personal? Do you prefer work conversations that are direct, deal with the main issue and move on? Or, do you prefer to warm up a bit first, establish rapport, and then move into the topic at hand? These and other communication traits can make communicating in the workplace a challenging task. Have you ever been in a meeting and found yourself wishing people would just get to the point? Ever wish that some of your colleagues were more tactful and diplomatic? Has your boss ever told you that you need to speak up and contribute more in meetings? Do you find that your colleague’s eyes glaze over when you are giving a report? Communication style can be as much a foreign language as any other spoken language. In this powerful one day course, using DiSC® you will learn about communication styles most commonly used at work, identify your own preferred style, and discuss strategies and tips to understand and communicate more effectively with those whose styles are different than yours.

While organizations have spent a great deal of time on the project implementation side of change, they still struggle with the human element. Organizational restructuring, company mergers and acquisitions, technology implementations, software upgrades, process improvements and other big changes in the workplace can result in unforeseen problems, as well as frustration, confusion and tension among staff. Recognizing that change is an inevitable part of today’s workplace, this seminar is an opportunity to discuss change and the best road to successful outcomes. The focus will be on minimizing the negative effects of change. You will walk away from this seminar equipped with new tools and strategies to help you plan, implement and reinforce your next change effort, greatly improving your chances for smooth and successful change.
Do you manage a ‘strong personality’? These are the people who can turn a simple request into a 30-minute debate, or offend a dozen colleagues with a single email. These individuals can hijack meetings, turn discussions into heated debates, and challenge the team’s plans and priorities. As a result these strong personalities may miss critical deadlines, distract you from key priorities and impact the effectiveness of your entire team. Strong personalities are typically smart and talented individuals, but managing them can be exhausting. This workshop offers a streamlined approach for managing. You will learn simple strategies, solutions and shortcuts to channel the talent and energy of these valuable people. You will practise in class to ensure you have the confidence you need to tackle even the most frustrating issues as they arise. And with your new skills, you may even find you have more time and energy too!

PHILOSOPHICAL AND POLITICAL EXPLORATIONS OF LOVE NEW Love is a hotly contested topic. With strong emotions and our innermost selves at stake, it is a topic we live and grapple to understand. Yet love is not only something we live as individuals. How we understand and experience love is influenced by factors in our environment. Who is allowed to love and express that love and how has this changed over time? What does it mean to love? Is love a noun or a verb?

A minimum of a senior high school diploma and relevant work experience is recommended for most certificate programs. If English is not your first language, please review the English language proficiency requirements at conted.ucalgary.ca; click on Forms and Policies; then English Language Requirements. If you have any questions, please contact an advisor at 403.220.2866.
Student learning is assessed through assignments and examinations, and grades are assigned for each course in the program of study. Most certificate programs follow the grading standards established for undergraduate instruction at the University of Calgary.
It is possible to use some certificate programs as a stepping stone towards an undergraduate degree if you can meet the faculty’s entrance requirements for undergraduate students.
GETTING STARTED I n most programs, you can take courses first and enrol in the certificate later. You can apply for credit for those courses that you have successfully completed and which meet the current certificate requirements. However, as programs are subject to change, we recommend you apply for admission to the certificate as early as possible. Once you are admitted, you can be confident that you have locked in the requirements leading to your graduation.
I n the Certificate for Emerging Leaders, student learning is assessed through the evaluation of a summary paper that is submitted following completion of the required number of instructional hours. In the Office Applications Certificate, student learning is assessed through examinations completed at the end of each course in the program of study.

Because certificate programs are reviewed and updated on a regular basis, the requirements listed here may be different from previous or future years. For you to successfully complete a certificate program, you must meet the requirements that are ‘locked in’ and noted on your student record when you are admitted to the program. Once you have been admitted — to be sure you are always choosing courses that can be credited toward your certificate — it is best to view the requirements outlined on your personal record at My ContEd.

How we manage workplace and environmental health and safety issues is critical to workers, organizations, and the environment itself. Organizations are highly motivated to avoid the huge costs associated with occupational and environmental accidents and mishaps. Legislation requiring employer compliance creates change and challenge for health, safety and environment (HSE) professionals who must act in the roles of motivator, change leader and enforcer. Employers are looking for people who can identify, evaluate, and communicate information about workplace and environmental conditions that may have adverse impacts on human health. They need people who have the knowledge and skills to plan and implement strategies to control and manage potential problems, and motivate proactive behaviour change. The Health, Safety and Environment certificate is a 300-hour program. Students are required to take 160 hours of core courses and 140 hours of optional courses. The program can be completed in the classroom or online. Before taking their first online course, students are required to take BMC 352 Learning Online.

SALUTE TO THE SOCKEYE
to spawn, the largest spawning run since 1913. The 2014 dominant run promises to be just as spectacular.
The mesmerizing spectacle of a salmon spawning stream was well described in a Canadian Fisheries and Oceans pamphlet. “Every four years the quiet bank of the Adams River, 405 kilometers inland from the Pacific Ocean, becomes the scene of a natural miracle. In these days of early fall, the normally quiet waters of the 12-km river turn turbulent and crimson as over two million sockeye salmon pour into their home waters to spawn and die. The male, his teeth now grown to fangs in an enlarged jaw, fights off contenders while the female digs the nest by lying on her side and flapping her tail, after which she drops some of her eggs. She then covers the eggs with some gravel and the pair swims upstream to repeat the process until exhausted, they die.”

TRAVEL STUDY WILD PATAGONIA AND EASTER ISLAND EXTENSION Supporting the vast bulk of South America is a great wedge of continent called Patagonia. Here, at the southern tip of the Americas, giant waves, born on the shores of Antarctica, assault wild rocky beaches. Clusters of black and white penguins pitch and porpoise in the roiling surf and then shuffle ashore. Here also, great tracts of grasslands, brightened with colourful patches of wildflowers, sweep beneath immense cerulean skies and nurture exotic creatures with exotic names such as gauanaco, rhea, tinamou, huemul and mara. And above it all rise the chiselled flanks of the mighty Andes and the windswept wings of the largest flying creature on earth, the magnificent Andean condor. One of the great scenic spectacles in Patagonia is Fitz Roy Massif, in Parque National Los Glaciares in southern Argentina. Seeing that cluster of peaks for the first time, most people are deeply impressed by their raw jaggedness and the steepness of their granite flanks. The indigenous people called Fitzroy “the smoking mountain” because of the mantle of cloud that often enshrouds its summit.
EASTER ISLAND EXTENSION No other island in the Pacific has generated the historical excitement, ecological speculation and strong tourism interest of Easter Island. The island’s iconic stone heads, averaging four metres in height and 12 tonnes in weight, are

YELLOWKNIFE: AURORA BOREALIS AT ITS BEST Ancient Inuit believed that the aurora borealis was the torches of spirits guiding souls to a land of happiness and plenty. First Nations peoples along the Pacific Coast thought that auroras were the cooking fires of Eskimos boiling whale blubber. Auroras have inspired countless colourful stories and legends; their shifting curtains of green, red and purple light, pulsating across a blackened star-filled sky, are fuel for the imagination and never fail to amaze and captivate. When viewed from space, an aurora forms a bright crown of light encircling the northern polar region. Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories lies under the magical Auroral Oval where northern lights occur on 100 percent of nights when it’s dark enough to see the displays. Auroras are most intense around the autumn and spring equinoxes so our tour in March is at an optimal time. As well, the month of March has the greatest percentage of clear skies, the least amount of winter snowfall, and the warmest winter

Over two millennia ago, the ancient Romans acquired a new territory along the Mediterranean coast of Gaul. Formally called Gallia Narbonensis after its capital at modern Narbonne, its proximity to Italy led the Romans to call it simply Provincia (The Province); it remains Provence, and the Roman and Medieval spirit is still heavily felt in towns from Arles to Avignon. Our 16-day journey through the area will take us to these places and many more. From our base at traditional hotels in three attractive towns (Arles, Vaison-la-Romaine, and Gordes. We will explore the well-preserved Roman fora, temples, baths, and theatres of Arles, Nimes, and Orange; the spectacular aqueduct bridge at Pont du Gard that once brought water to Nimes; the finely excavated Roman cities of Glanum and Vaison; the bories (domed stone buildings from 2000 BCE) of Gordes; the 12th century Popes’ Palace in Avignon; the pretty Abbey at Senanque, set in a field of lavender; the fortified medieval port-city of Aigues-Mortes (Dead Waters) and the old riverside town of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, once home to the medieval poet Petrarch and site of a still-functioning Renaissance paper mill.

ART AND CULTURE — VENICE When crossing the narrow causeway to Venice from the Italian mainland, you quickly become aware that Venice is different from any other city. Built in the late Roman period on a foundation of millions of wooden beams driven deep into the marshy soil, Venice rose to become the greatest commercial and military power in the western world. For hundreds of years, its military might and cultural brilliance was unparalleled. While countless artists, writers and composers have romanticized Venice as a city doomed to slow decay, the glory days of ‘La Serenissima’ are remarkably well preserved today.

in modest churches and galleries, concealed in the maze of narrow, medieval streets that still pervade the city. Since the late 1990s, enormous resources have been poured into restoring the city’s infrastructure and preserving the artistic treasures. The continued success of the Art and Architecture Biennale exhibitions has helped Venice retain its standing as a leading centre of culture. We will explore the artistic heritage of Venice and the surrounding region, from Giotto’s early Renaissance Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, through the High Renaissance altar pieces of Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto. Our trip will conclude with a full-day visit to the Art Biennale, widely regarded as the most important contemporary art exhibition in the world.

NAMIBIA: DESERTS AND WILDLIFE Namibia is possibly one of the best kept secrets on the African continent. The country offers a surprising blend of stunning desert landscapes, remarkable arid-adapted vegetation, noisy fur seal colonies, plus all of the large charismatic mammals for which Africa is justifiably famous: lions, elephants, truculent black rhinos, elegant giraffes, spiral-horned kudus and impalas, and fleet-footed zebras. Namibia is one of the most sparsely populated countries in Africa, and therefore in better environmental condition than most other nations on the continent. The two greatest attractions in the country are Etosha National Park and the Namib Desert, our visit revolves around these two key areas. The Namib Desert, with its spectacular red dunes, stretches for nearly 2000 kilometres as a narrow strip along the entire western coast of the country. Here there are wind-sculpted fields of dunes, some over 200 metres high, ancient welwitschia plants that have lived for millennia, arid-adapted insects, lizards, sand grouse, and ostriches, and saberhorned gemsbok whose lithesome beauty embodies the magnetic lure of the desert.

The Wachau is a stretch of the Danube Valley between Melk and Krems and again, preserved intact, provides in visible form many traces of its evolution since prehistoric times in terms of architecture, (monasteries, castles, ruins), urban design and agricultural use, principally for the cultivation of vines. Situated on the banks of the Vltava River, the town of Cesky Krumlov was built around a 13th century castle. It retains Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. It is an outstanding example of a small central European medieval town whose architectural heritage has remained intact thanks to its peaceful evolution over more than five centuries. Salzburg is an important example of a European ecclesiastical city-state with a remarkable number of high-quality buildings, both secular and ecclesiastical. The buildings range from the late middle ages to the 20th century. The city is noted for its association with the arts, in particular with music in the person of its famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

THE GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST: SPIRIT BEARS, GRIZZLIES AND ANCIENT FORESTS The temperate rainforests are among the richest habitats on Earth; supporting more life than their tropical counterparts. The largest expanse of these ancient forests stretches along the verdant coastline of British Columbia. Migrating salmon and hungry coastal bears go together like popcorn and the movies, and the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the world’s best places to witness this primordial drama. British Columbia, with roughly 150,000 black bears and 15,000 grizzly bears shuffling through its forested wild lands, is home to the largest combined population of these two bears in the world. Here, in the cool, shadowed woodlands of the coast, you can also find a rare white subspecies of the American black bear. Scientists call this enigmatic ursine carnivore the Kermode bear, but First Nations people know it as the ‘spirit bear.’ Our quest on this trip will be to experience the rich biological diversity of an overlooked corner of Canada, while at the same time experiencing exciting bear-viewing, bald eagles and gulls squabbling

Valery Efimenko was born in Russia but lived in Ukraine the first 18 years of his life. He speaks Ukrainian and knows the Ukrainian culture, literature and customs from his childhood. He graduated from the Oriental Department of St. Petersburg State University where he studied Indian languages, history and culture. Valery has taught religion, philosophy and Russian history since 2004 for Continuing Education at the University of Calgary and this will be his fifth travel study trip.
Charles Darwin made his legendary visit to the islands in 1835. Today, more than 175 years later, the islands are recognized globally as a living laboratory of biological evolution and one of the great natural wonders of the world. A visit to these Enchanted Islands is still a magical event; one in which cherished memories are forged and never forgotten. For our voyage around the islands, we’ll sail aboard the Queen of Galapagos, a 16-passenger luxury yacht for a small group of 16. After our trip to Galapagos, we will return to Quito and the next day fly to Coca for a three day extension to the Amazon Basin.

Dr. Lynch first travelled to the fabled Galapagos Islands, 1,000 kilometres off the west coast of Ecuador, over 20 years ago. He saw young sea lions use prickly cactus pads as water toys, tortoises as big as storage trunks, seabirds flaunt their flamboyant crimson throats and blue webbed feet, and tropical penguins share sandy beaches with black spiny lizards. It’s a place where the wildlife is unwary, where animal behaviour unfolds just metres away, and where the sunlight penetrates the crystal clear water and spotlights a multitude of colourful reef fishes.
