Typically, Nanaimo Campus programs run from 10 to 11 am, 10:30 to 11:30 am, or 11 am to 12 pm. We deliver programs on both the Nanaimo and Deep Bay campuses so availability is impacted by bookings in either location.

Pro tip: If you want a Nanaimo campus program you can fill out the booking form in advance to get in the queue and adjust the date later.
