St. Francis Xavier University is proud to offer the Diploma in Adult Education - the number one choice among adult educators and human resources development professionals.
Now in its 29th year, the Diploma program is offered on-site in major centres and stresses practical, hands-on skills development for adult educators, trainers, HRD consultants, and others who work in related capacities.
The Diploma program consists of six modules. Modules 1 - 5 are classroom based, each consisting of a three day workshop (9:00am - 4:30pm daily) and a formal assignment. Module 6 is a practicum (field project) that is completed at-a-distance.
The Diploma program's format offers maximum accessibility and flexibility to learn while you earn. Each module (1-5) is staffed by two facilitators and enrollment is limited to 30 learners.

Francis Xavier's Diploma in Adult Education addresses the competency categories
