Sometimes our best efforts seem at risk from uncomfortable comments that people make. Learn to identify stressful "losing" situations and resolve these potholes in the road of daily conversation.
Understanding the behavioral components of our decision making style is often a key factor in developing effective working relationships and career choices. Tough decisions often involve ambiguity, conflict and uncertainty. Address the need to understand these confounding attributes and to deal with them effectively in decision making situations.
Develop your skills in using a number of conceptual aids in the decision-making process. Types of aids include: tabular decision aids, mind-mapping, free-wheeling diagrams and gantt charts, and influence diagrams. These will help you to weigh various factors involved in a decision, create a balanced view of the situation, add the element of time, and consider the factors of probability and uncertainty. Learn to apply these aids so that you can demonstrate a vision of the "big picture" and graphically illustrate the rationale behind your decisions.
Recognizing and articulating fundamental values can lead to the identification of decision opportunities and the creation of better alternatives. Focusing on the values that should be guiding the decision situation makes the search for new alternatives a creative and productive exercise.
Learn the purpose of newsletters, preparation methods, content guidelines, deadline issues, various page layouts, paper selection, and reproduction or printing considerations.
You’ve got personality! We all do and we are all different. Millions in over 100 countries take the Myers Briggs personality assessment every year. It is the most trusted and widely used assessment tool in the world. Gain valuable insight about yourself and the people you interact with daily. Learn how others see you. Find out who you are and what makes you tick and then use that information to know and understand yourself. The knowledge you gain can be used in decision making, career development, problem solving, understanding and improving relationships, teambuilding and more.

If you operate a motorized pleasure boat or watercraft, including a sailboat fitted with a motor, there is a legal requirement for proof of operator competency to be carried on board. Most commonly this proof of competency is in the form of a “Pleasure Craft Operator Card”.
Learn about the operator competency requirements; age & horsepower restrictions; regulations for small vessels; and how the Contraventions Act has changed the way boating regulations are enforced.
After a detailed study course of required knowledge statements, participants will be permitted to write a Transport Canada test. A Pleasure Craft Operator Card will be issued to all who successfully pass the test.
BASIC COMMERCIAL TIRE SERVICE (CTS)
Companies that wish to provide OSHA compliance training for new hires and experienced technicians can now enroll in the Basic CTS Program (200 Level). This is a 2 day course that is comprised of one day of classroom instruction followed by a second day of in shop training and certification testing. The instructor uses the Tire Industry Association (TIA) Instructor Guide to lead the class through videos and Student Workbooks that use lesson plans and module quizzes.
Following the training, the students complete a 50-question Final Exam and have to successfully complete the tasks specified within the OSHA Skills Demonstration form in the student workbook. These documents are then sent to TIA for final marking and successful applicants will then receive a Certificate of Completion (200 Level) from TIA.
All courses are delivered at the Heavy Equipment Transportation Center located in Building “Z” at the Notre Dame Campus of Red River College.
These are the 12 Modules that make up the Basic CTS 200 level Program.
Module 1: Safety
Includes Personal Protective Equipment, lifting safety, and other topics like heat stroke and frostbite prevention.
Module 2: Basic Tire Info
Addresses tire construction, sizing and nomenclature, inflation pressure, tread design and compound for different applications, speed rating and all special service ratings and identification.
Module 3: Rims and Wheels
Outlines the difference between rims and wheels including the nomenclature for both assemblies. It will also identify and address the different type of hub and drum assemblies for commercial vehicles.
Module 4: OSHA Regulations
The video will include the script of the OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.177 with images supporting the wording. The Manual will also include the OSHA Demount/Mount and Rim Matching Charts.
Module 5: Jacking and Lifting
Outlines procedures for properly jacking, lifting and supporting trucks, tractors and trailers. It will focus on jack and jack stand identification and operation as well as the proper position of each when lifting one, two, or three axles
Module 6: Torque
Defines the relationship between torque and clamping force when installing wheels and rims. This in-depth look at how tightening a fastener creates the force that holds the assemblies to the vehicles will help technicians understand the importance of the RIST procedure (Remove debris, Inspect components, Snug in a star, Torque to spec).
Module 7: Wheel End Safety
Addresses wheel end fires, commercial vehicle inspection, wheel-off prevention, and wheel end maintenance.
Module 8: Hub-Pilot Wheels
Puts the basic principles of the previous two modules to work with hub-pilot wheel removal as well as the inspection and installation guidelines that accompany the RIST procedure.
Module 9: Stud-Pilot Wheels
Focuses on stud-pilot wheel removal as well as the inspection and installation guidelines that accompany the RIST procedures.
Module 10: Demountable Rims
Addresses demountable rim removal as well as the inspection and installation guidelines that accompany the RIST procedures.
Module 11: Single-Piece
Dedicated to single-piece demount, mount and inflation procedures with an increased emphasis on disc wheel inspection, valve stem installation (including torque) and concentric bead seating techniques.
Module 12: Multi-Piece
Covers the basics for demounting, mounting and inflating two-piece and three-piece multi-piece assemblies.
This course provides an examination of the Ruby programming language and the Model-View-Controller (MVC) application design pattern.
