2026 Course Framework Renewed, Refreshed, Augmented
The technology
leadership courses were released in 2015. Since then, several hundred LINC pros
have made their way through. But we decided early in 2022 the course content
needed refreshing. That’s done, but we’ve now taken things a step further by augmenting and expanding the course into two parts: introductory and advanced. Those who complete each course will earn a
certificate in settlement language training learning leadership. the introductory course is eligible for Post-TESL Certificate Training (PTCT) recognition by TESL Ontario, and we are in the process of applying for PTCT certification for the advanced course.
We invite
professionals in IRCC or MLITSD-funded language programs like LINC, CLIC or
Ontario Adult Language Training to request enrolment.
The course is mentored
and delivered online through Avenue.ca. Participants in the course have
self-identified as technology leaders, and their forum posts reflect valuable
lessons from their local language training programs. Learn more about
the barriers, challenges and opportunities of learning technology
innovation.
