Workshops Application

Admission to CBW courses is very competitive – review committees appointed for each individual workshop determine student selection. Please note that most workshops are limited to 30 students or fewer.

Notification will be given to successful applicants 1 month prior to workshop start date. Applications received prior to the closing date qualify for the early registration fee (1-day workshop: $100+HST or 2-day workshop: $500+HST or 5-day workshop: $950+HST). Applications received after the closing date will only be accepted pending space availability and will be subject to the late registration fee (2-day workshop: $500+$200+HST or 5-day workshop: $950+$200+HST).
