CAPA In-Person Program

The In-Person certification option is for Senior Administrators and Executive Officers working in Indigenous communities and organizations across Canada.  Developed under the guidance of an Indigenous CAPA Council, this is the only national program in Canada that addresses the competency needs of those working in Indigenous environments.
