All courses must be taken through WatSPEED at the University of Waterloo in order to be eligible for the certificate from WatSPEED.

Each course is six weeks long, followed by a two-week period to complete the final exam (online, open book) and you are not required to be online at any specific time. Lessons are released on Wednesdays and Fridays of each week. For planning purposes, we suggest setting aside two hours per lesson as a starting point.

To register, click the course you'd like to take and select a start date. Instructions on how to access your course will be emailed to you immediately after registration. It is best practice to enrol for no more than two courses with the same start date to achieve the highest learning outcome.
