The professional interested in
following the Graduate Certificate in Assessing Driving Capabilities must first
apply for admission to the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Office.
Applicants interested in taking
course 1 only must apply to become a special student.
To do so, you must meet the
requirements of the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Office and apply to be
admitted into a non-degree program. If graduate special students subsequently
become candidates for higher degrees, they may receive academic credit for
relevant graduate courses taken as a special student.
Course 1 is destined for any
professional holding a Bachelor's degree in the health sciences sector and is
interested in learning more about how to screen for at-risk drivers. Courses 2,
3, 4 and 5 are restricted to Occupational therapists.
