Joint Program: The Evaluators' Institute
and the CEC-NCC

In October, 2008, The Evaluators' Institute and the CES-NCC are collaborating to bring to Canadian evaluators a program of six courses on program evaluation topics.

After September 5, 2008, anyone from anywhere may register to attend the classes. Prior to September 5, first priority will be given to Canadians.

If you are from Canada and want to come, send e-mail to hold your space and then follow directions below for registering. E-mail: Registrar@EvaluatorsInstitute.com

If you are NOT from Canada and want to come, you can send e-mail and request space to be held for you, pending availability. Follow directions below for registering…note: we cannot confirm space for you until after Sept. 5.

Following is a chart showing which courses are offered on which days and details on how to register…and more. Click on course titles to access descriptions of courses and short biographical information on the teachers.

All six courses count toward the Master Evaluator Certificate (MEC); those in the first row count toward the Certificate in Evaluation Practice (CEP), the first level of the MEC; those in second row count toward the Certificate in Advanced Evaluation Practices (CAEP), the second level of the MEC

Quotes from 2008 participants

“This was the first time I took a course through TEI, and for once I haven't wasted my time (i.e., I actually learned things).”

“Another fine example of the high caliber of instructor at TEI. Dr. “X” was clear, logical, presented well, plethora of useful and relevant examples and great humor.”
