Try out our Facilitated Review Sessions (FRS)

Facilitated Review Sessions (FRS) are a non-mandatory component of the program that provide enhanced learning opportunities beyond the eLearning material to support learner success. FRS is not a substitute for the eLearning course.

FRS sessions are delivered virtually online and are designed to give learners the opportunity to review and discuss complex eLearning course topics with their peers and facilitator.

Learners can ask questions and enjoy real-time discussions which many find helpful. Learners can enroll in an FRS after they have completed the eLearning modules of a course before attempting the respective exam.

What are learners saying about FRS?

“The content was great, and I liked following along with my booklet, as well as talking in small groups and with the facilitator”

“Having a facilitator explain concepts and talking the topics through with my peers really helped”

“I liked being able to openly discuss real life scenarios with our facilitator. When I am able to relate to an experience, I personally learn/understand the content better!”

For more information on each FRS, visit the Learner Resources page.

To register for an upcoming FRS, visit the Course/Exam Registration page.

What are our learners saying about In-Person Simulation Sessions?

Tell us what you enjoyed most about the in-person Simulation session.

“I personally really liked being in person and being able to discuss with my classmates. I really enjoyed being able to participate in role play activities because it made me more confident in my speaking and was a great way to assure I understand the material.”

“The interactive environment we were able to have in the in-person simulation made learning the material much easier”

At Humber Polytechnic, we prioritize a learner-centered approach, tailoring our programs to meet the needs of our learners. We are excited to provide alternative opportunities for learners to engage with peers and facilitators in-person, fostering authentic connections that can help build a strong professional network.

When you're ready to enroll in Simulation Session 1 - Residential or Simulation Session 2 - Commercial, you'll have the flexibility to choose between In-Person Simulation or Virtual Simulation.

Our In-Person Simulation Sessions are held at Humber Polytechnic’s Education and Training Solutions (ETS) building, located at 30 Carrier Drive in Toronto.

To register for your next simulation session, visit our Course/Exam Registration page to select a date and delivery method that best fits your schedule.

For more details on Simulation 1 - Residential and Simulation 2 - Commercial, please check out our Learner Resources page
