Welcome to the Centre for Life-Long Learning.

Never has the concept of life-long learning been more critical than at this time of high economic activity in an everchanging workplace.

The University of Prince Edward Island is committed to supporting labour force training and education, thereby further extending its range of services beyond traditional degree programs. The Centre for Life-Long Learning develops, delivers, and is involved in a wide range of adult education activities, including professional development certificate programs and short courses; summer institutes and language programs; and customized training for businesses.

The Centre for Life-Long Learning supports academic departments and faculty members to extend their teaching and share their research, by taking care of logistics and promotion, and by creating a welcoming place at UPEI for all learners.

The Centre for Life-Long Learning will be launching two new certificates in Conflict Resolution this Fall.

The Practitioners Certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution is designed for individuals who want to acquire in-depth knowledge and skills to mediate and facilitate conflict resolution as a neutral third party. The 189 hour certificate will be cohort based and allow participants to complete all necessary courses in 22 months. For more information and a listing of required courses, visit the program webpage. 

The Interpersonal and Workplace Conflict Resolution Certificate is designed for managers or employees who want to equip themselves with knowledge and skills to deal with conflict in the workplace and foster a respectful and harmonious workplace.
