“The Canadian Payroll Association (CPA) offers the only payroll certifications in Canada:  the Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) and the Certified Payroll Manager (CPM).  These programs prepare payroll practitioners to manage the compliance requirements of an organization's annual payroll cycle, deliver clear and reliable payroll information, and contribute a payroll perspective to organizational policy and strategy discussions.”

Jul. 10 Conflict Resolution & Negotiation Certificate: 

“Conflict resolution doesn’t happen by coming up with solutions. Resolution takes place by breaking down an issue and understanding the human elements involved. Your ability to comprehend the influences and communicate with the parties involved will determine your success in the face of conflict.

Throughout the six courses of the Conflict Resolution & Negotiation Certificate, you will learn effective tools for engaging in a methodical response to conflict. You’ll also discover more about your communication style and ability to manage your reaction to criticism. Traditional study, class discussion, group work and practical application will be required in each course.”

Conflict Resolution Skills, and Mediation Skills/ Ethics and Values are among the 6 courses.  They are all 2 day classes.

Fluid Power Certificate: I went to Wikipedia and it says:

“Fluid power is the use of fluids under pressure to generate, control, and transmit power. Fluid power is subdivided into hydraulics using a liquid such as mineral oil or water, and pneumatics using a gas such as air or other gases. Compressed-air and water-pressure systems were once used to transmit power from a central source to industrial users over extended geographic areas; fluid power systems today are usually within a single building or mobile machine.”

Lean Six Sigma is an operating strategy that seeks to maximize productivity by creating value in the eyes of the end user. The focus is not on a single department, area or process, but on the optimization of the entire system. The participants will discover how Lean Six Sigma relates to best processes and practices; those which optimize resources and yield the best products or services in the fastest manner, at the lowest cost, and to the satisfaction of the client.

Participants will gain a practical understanding of the use of the Six Sigma approach within a project management context. For example, they will learn how to identify a problem, convert it to a statistical problem, find a statistical solution and convert it into a practical solution.
