All amounts are per person, CAD, excl. HST. Based on the guidelines in effect since May 1, 2026. Training starts only after approval.

Why this program fits the Ontario Job Grant

  • Job-specific technical skills tied to a defined role — not leadership, soft-skills or legally mandated training.
  • A full 40-hour program with a documented, module-by-module curriculum — not a workshop or conference.
  • Clear, measurable learning outcomes with pre/post assessment you can report on.
  • Transparent public price that compares cleanly with the other quotes you collect.
  • Delivered for 2+ years by an Ontario provider, taught by university professors and industry experts.

Provider documents for your application. With your quote we send the curriculum, learning outcomes, schedule, itemized costs and the assigned instructor's name and qualifications — the training details the Ministry requires from training providers. You complete and submit your own application. We don't charge for this, it is not part of the course price, and we don't act as an application consultant.
