Residencies
Residencies offer three or four full time Intensive SPE Units back-to-back. Residencies allow students to complete all internships that are required for Certification in one year. This can facilitate a rapid path to Certification and has the benefit of a bursary to offset the cost of tuition. Residency positions are quickly filled so early application is encouraged. Usually one unit of SPE is a prerequisite for admission to a Residency. The Supervisor-Educator at each site can provide more information.
