Non-Certificate Programs
I am very pleased with the quality of instruction that I received during my stay at Banff Centre for the Arts. Our instructors were experts in the field of negotiations and I appreciate their level of knowledge and dedication to our lessons. We were given the perfect balance of instruction and debrief exercises. I came away from this experience with new skills and techniques in negotiations. We began each morning with smudging, a prayer and teachings. It was an honour to begin each day in this way lead by a respected elder. Chi Miigwech! (Thank you very much)
