Guide to the Training Program
Completion requirements
Use the Learners Program Guide to find out how the Recreation North Training Program works and to understand your responsibilities as a participant.
Please note that we have two new policies. Effective September 2025,
- Participation in conference calls is required. However, if life gets in the way, ask your trainer for an alternate activity.
- Learners registered in a certificate stream are asked to let us know if they cannot participate for a while. If we don't hear from you for a few months, you will be enrolled to make space for others.

3. The Program
The Recreation North Training Program offers a series of learning events (similar to a short or mini course) designed to strengthen competencies for working and volunteering in the field of recreation. Individuals, including youth, can register for one or a few learning events, can choose to earn a Certificate in Northern Recreation Leadership or a Certificate in Northern Recreation Management, or can participate for professional development.
