FAQ

What is self-paced training?
Self-paced trainings don’t follow a set schedule. Course materials are fully available as soon as the course begins, and assignments/reflections do not have start or due dates. Our self-paced trainings are 4-week blended learning that include live Zoom sessions at the beginning and end and self-paced modules online.
What is on demand training?
On demand trainings are available as soon as you register. You can access the course materials as soon as you are signed into the training platform. The on demand model provides learners with a lot of flexibility, to take a course when they’re ready, engage in content at their own pace, engage at different levels, pick it up, drop it, and come back later. It offers a high level of convenience and interaction for remote learners.
What are skill builders?
Skill builders are Sea Change’s monthly 2-hour virtual trainings. These two-hour, highly interactive online skill builders provide ready-to-use frameworks, relevant examples, and scenarios to build skills, knowledge, and confidence.
What is accessibility?
The prevention and removal of barriers (physical, attitudinal, technological, or system) to allow equitable participation for persons with disabilities or others who experience barriers to accessibility. When our environments, services and products and policies are proactively designed and constructed so that people with a disability can fully and equally participate without experiencing barriers. Accessibility ensures people with disabilities are included in the same experiences, benefits, opportunities and choices in life.
What is disability?
As defined in Nova Scotia’s Accessibility Act: “a physical, mental, intellectual, learning or sensory impairment, including an episodic disability that, in interaction with a barrier, hinders an individual’s full and effective participation in society.”
What is equity?
Fairness and impartiality. Equity is different from equality. Equality means everyone gets the same thing (treatment, resources, support, etc.); equity recognizes that people may need different things to ensure their opportunities are the same as others.
