Education Portfolio

In addition to courses that are currently open for registration, Coady maintains a portfolio of established courses that have been delivered successfully with partners in Canada and around the world.

These courses reflect Coady’s six-decade experience and may be offered again based on partnership opportunities, regional demand, and cohort readiness. Our annual course scheduling cycles are informed by partner collaboration, cohort development, and Coady’s commitment to high‑quality practitioner focused, adult education.

How Our Courses Are Delivered

Many courses in the portfolio are activated through collaboration with partner organizations and networks, ensuring strong peer learning, contextual relevance, and meaningful impact for participants.

Coady courses are offered on-campus at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada; off-campus in communities globally; or online.
