EPLT courses

External Programs and Learning Technologies (EPLT) delivers professional development courses for teachers and working professionals throughout British Columbia. Faculty of Education courses are delivered in the following formats:

• online - designed to fit into your schedule, complete coursework at your own pace, at home or anywhere;
• f2f (off-campus) - delivered on-site in school districts throughout BC, and designed to facilitate the schedules of practicing teachers and professionals;
• institutes & workshops - short-programs generally offered in a one or two-week period during the summer. Many of the summer institutes offer credit and non-credit options.

To register in credit courses offered through EPLT, including online, off-campus (f2f), and institutes, you must be admitted to UBC Faculty of Education (Vancouver campus). Some of the summer institues offer non-credit registration for which you do not need to apply for admission. Here are your next steps...

This category is for students who are interested in the course content but do not wish to obtain credit. If a final grade is required, you must apply for admission to UBC and be admitted BEFORE the course begins ... you can not change your status afterwards.
• Application - you are not required to apply for admission, but you must submit a non-credit application form with full payment to reserve your non-credit seat.. To request a form contact eplt.educ@ubc.ca, or call 604-822-2013.
