Please Note:

Available LDAO online workshops can be purchased directly from our online Shopping Cart

LDAO online workshops are only available to residents of Ontario

There are many different types of online education opportunities. Most of the LDAO online workshops are self-paced and can be accessed at any time. There are Comments & Questions boxes where you can share ideas with other participants and ask questions of the moderator. Our Professional workshops are also self-paced but have activities and assignments that are to be submitted for a Certificate of Completion.  Our Partnering with Schools for Student Success course runs for seven weeks twice a year.

All of our online workshops and courses are delivered via LDAO’s Online Learning Platform at workshops.ldao.ca  which you can access once you have been issued a User Name and Password by email.
