FAQS How often are classes? All Productivity Enhancement Services (PES) programs are conducted in a format where the students are in class approximately every third weekend. This gives them the chance to apply their new knowledge and skills back at work and share their experiences in the next session. Who are our instructors? NAIT instructors come from a wide variety of industries and possess extensive teaching and real-world industry experience. Is financial aid available? PES programs are not eligible for student loans or government funding. However, many of our students are sponsored by their employer. How long does it take to complete a certificate program? The weekend cohort has been created so that a certificate program can be completed in two semesters. For example, an individual taking the Project Management Certificate could complete PMGT101-106 in the Fall Semester, then PMGT107-112 in the Winter Semester.
