What is a Telecourse?

A telecourse is a course where all of the classes are offered by telephone. At the date and time of the class, you call the phone number we give you, punch in a PIN code and enter the virtual classroom.

In the virtual classroom, you can hear the instructor as well as all of your classmates. This allows for an interactive lecture and discussion just as you would enjoy at a live event. Your workbook and any other course materials are emailed to you prior to the call so that you can follow along and take notes, again, just as you would in a live class.

The phone number you will be given has a (503) area code, local to Oregon. You are responsible for any long distance charges so use a phone with a good long-distance plan. At an average long-distance charge of 7 cents per minute, your hour-long call will cost just over $4.

No Travel Time or Expense

An advantage of telecourses is that you can participate from the comfort of your own home or office. Avoid traffic, save on gas, mileage and parking, and preserve your sanity!

Participate from Any City

Another advantage is that you no longer have to be within traveling distance of our OHC classrooms in Toronto to participate in one of our telecourses. Now you can join us from any location in North America. You'll be able to mix, mingle and network with colleagues from all across the continent!
