What is the Online Learning Centre?
The CHF Canada Online Learning Centre is your destination for learning the skills and knowledge needed to run a smooth, successful co-op and build a strong co-op community.
Most courses take under an hour to complete and are self-paced, making it easy to learn in small, manageable steps—anytime, anywhere.
The Centre is open to everyone and offers a mix of free and paid courses. You’ll find CHF Canada courses on risk management, asset management, and an introductory course for co-op staff and managers.
