Given geographic concerns, accessibility to service and travel costs, The Learning Centre has
awarded tenders to Vendors who can service specific areas in the Province. Employees in these
regions are encouraged to use these Vendors for their convenience. If, however, the local Vendor

Vendor elsewhere who does.

This manual provides descriptions of the courses available through the identified Vendor, the
registration process required and the costs of each course.
It is important to note that the registration process has been changed. Beginning immediately
all applications for computer training are to be forwarded directly to the vendor. The vendor will

the departmental coordinator.
