Boards & Governance

Director Training

Condominium directors have important responsibilities, duties and obligations. Directors must complete the training within six months of being elected, appointed, or re-elected unless they have completed the training within the preceding 7 years. 

The online training is available to anyone at anytime and includes 21 easy-to-follow e-modules that cover important topics and can be taken at your own pace.

The CAO also offers an advanced optional training on six important topics: Condominium governance, emergency planning & preparedness, finance, issues management, overseeing condominium managers and procurement.

We would love to know about your experience and encourage you to complete the feedback survey.

Summary

  • CAO offers a mandatory, online training for condo directors that directors are expected to complete within six months of being appointed or elected

Start the training

Log in to your CAO account using the email address your condo corporation provided to the CAO. Do not create a second account or use a different email address or system will not be able to properly track the successful completion of the training.

The training is mandatory for directors but we encourage condo owners and others to take it as well.

Condo directors should check if they have received an e-mail invitation from CAO to create an account. Please follow those instructions before you sign-up.
