BackThe Forum of Canadian Ombudsman (FCO) and the Professional Development Program at Osgoode Hall Law School will once again offer the popular course on "Essentials for Ombuds" from 26 – 30 September 2016 in Ontario, Canada.
The Essentials for Ombuds is a five-day intensive training collaboration between the Forum of Canadian Ombudsman and Osgoode Professional Development.
Now in its fourth year, this unique program, both comprehensive and in-depth, is intended to meet the needs of recent appointees to the Ombuds role or Office, as well as providing those with more experience an opportunity to become conversant with both the theory and practice of the Ombuds role, wherever it is located.
You will develop a deeper understanding of the requirements and expectations for Ombuds by exploring and examining the myriad evolving issues and challenges facing those who practise in the Ombuds field today, and by reviewing best practices of Ombuds across the country.
Taught by a highly distinguished faculty of practising Ombuds, lawyers and academics from across Canada, all of whom are leaders in their field, the certificate program will give you the theory, knowledge and practical skills to competently and confidently handle day-to-day challenges as well as more complex issues. The teaching style is a mixture of lectures, group discussion and hands-on practical exercises, providing a rich, interactive learning format
This five day certificate program will be held at the Osgoode premises in the heart of downtown Toronto (1 Dundas St. W., 26th Floor Toronto, Ontario, Canada). For more details and registration, please visit the website of Osgoode Professional Development.
