FOUNDATION COURSES
MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR (CHSE 0100)
Organizations "think" and "feel", just like individuals. It’s not enough to
simply speak the language of management. Effective interaction now demands that
one is able to think from a management perspective.
INCIDENT CAUSATION AND INVESTIGATION (CHSE 0200)
What an organization believes about the causes of accidents drives the
corrective actions they take or don’t take. Traditional causation models focus
largely on unsafe acts and conditions. These models often result in
labour/management confrontations with management blaming workers and workers
blaming management. In this course, students learn a systems failure model that
engages all stakeholders, and shifts from a blame-based approach to a more
progressive and effective accident causation belief system.
RISK ASSESSMENT (CHSE 0300)
This course examines several basic risk assessment skills and tools that enable
employees closest to risks to deal with them proactively. Learners will also
discover how to apply these tools by becoming familiar with the process, needed
resources and practical examples for each method.
APPROACHES TO SAFETY MANAGEMENT (CHSE 0700)
A fundamental requirement of any management system is the establishment of means
to adequately prevent losses to the organization’s resources. In most
jurisdictions, a primary focus of any safety program is compliance with
regulatory standards. This is typically an ineffective approach to reducing
workplace losses. The field of health and safety has matured and offers a
variety of approaches to accomplishing this prevention goal.
OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE (CHSE 0900)
Knowing basic identification and management principles to deal with common
workplace hazards will enable much more effective health, safety and
environmental management program.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FOUNDATIONS (CHSE 1205)
Without question, we must all learn new skills to enable appropriate stewardship
of our environment. An effective health, safety and environmental management
program integrates stewardship of people, property, environment and processes
into one seamless entity.
ADVANCED COURSES
EFFECTIVE WORKPLACE TRAINING (CHSE 0400)
People – sometimes referred to as "human capital" – are the most under-utilized
resource in the developed world. People are our most valuable resource, yet we
often do not do a good job of equipping them with the intellectual and practical
skills they need to perform optimally. We believe that effective workplace
training tools – and the ability to implement intelligent training strategies –
are key tools for effective leadership.
DUE DILIGENCE AND COMPLIANCE (CHSE 0500)
Litigation for workplace losses can reach into the corporate boardroom and cut
deeply into the corporate treasury. Basic principles of applying due diligence
and compliance with health, safety and environmental standards are provided.
TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (CHSE 0600)
TQM embodies the goal of continuous improvement with the spirit of empowerment,
which are primary shifts required in the emerging economy. Effective health,
safety and environmental leadership programs will recognize and apply the
strengths of TQM to address issues in those work areas.
ERGONOMICS FOUNDATIONS (CHSE 0800)
This course focuses on resolving issues that may arise from the design of a
workplace that is not ergonomic. It provides practical processes, tools and
understanding for preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders such as back
injuries and upper extremity repetitive strain injuries.
WORKPLACE WELLNESS (CHSE 1000)
Many variables in our lives and our workplaces impact that state of wellness.
Understanding those variables, and having some tools to manage their impact, are
key to A highly effective health, safety and environmental management program.
PROGRAM OWNERSHIP AND MOTIVATION (CHSE 1100)
Traditional health, safety and environmental management programs are owned by
senior management. Organizational cultures are undergoing massive changes and
traditional approaches no longer apply in many sectors. Effective health, safety
and environmental management programs are driven by all stakeholders that are
impacted by them. In most cases, this means that those on “the shop floor” must
learn new process skills to enable their participation. As well, managers must
learn to develop high-trust relationships with employees and to develop and
create a working environment where these new skills are consistently expected
and rewarded.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS (CHSE 1210)
A continuation of CHSE1205: Environmental Management Foundations, this course is
designed to provide the basic knowledge and skills needed to initiate and
maintain an environmental management program. The focus in this course is on the
management of specific environmental hazards and the common tools and processes
used in environmental management.
CHSEP INDEPENDENT STUDY (CHSE 1300)
This elective option is for learners who wish to drill down into a topic to meet
personal learning needs specific to their own operational environment. In this
course, students establish their own learning goals, review text(s) and journal
articles related to their learning goals and write a paper outlining what
they’ve achieved. Supervision is provided through each of these phases. The
final grade is weighted to recognize efforts in each of the tasks.
EMERGENCY PLANNING (CHSE 1500)
Workplaces can be dangerous places. Risks from within and without can result in
a serious loss of life, property and process interruption. A reasoned carefully
planned emergency response plan is like a fire extinguisher. You hope and pray
you’ll never need it, but if you do, it has to work properly at that moment.
This course equips learners with the basic tools needed to design and implement
a practical emergency planning program in any setting.
GUIDED PRACTICUM (CHSE 2000)
Upon completion of five Advanced courses (or equivalent), learners wanting to
earn their Applied CHSEP will undertake a Guided Practicum. Here, students
choose from four options, including the development of a comprehensive program
in a particular context, a detailed program addressing a particular risk issue,
development of a business case for their current OSHE Program, or another
similar option. The Practicum will be evaluated on the basis of the application
of content from the courses, additional research and the utility of the project.

SIN Policy
COLLECTION AND STORAGE OF STUDENTS' SOCIAL INSURANCE NUMBERS POLICY
Why am I being asked to provide my Social Insurance Number (SIN)?
Effective the 2019 tax year, all designated educational institutions (DEI) are
required to provide the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) with students’ social
insurance numbers (SIN) on the Tuition and Enrolment Certificate T2202 (formerly
the T2202A). T2202 certificates are issued to students who are enrolled during
the calendar year in a qualifying educational program.
Lawful Authority to Collect SINs
The Income Tax Act provides lawful authority for the University of Fredericton
to collect SINs from students. It also requires DEIs to make reasonable efforts
to obtain students’ SIN. To read more about these new changes please click here.
How will SIN information be collected?
Existing Students – When students enroll in their next class they will be sent a
secure form from their student support representative. This form will ask
students to provide basic information along with their SIN. Forms are designed
to pass information securely to the student database and are only accessible by
authorized personnel.
New Students – As part of the application and admissions process, students will
be asked to fill out a credit card authorization form for processing tuition. On
this secure form, students will also be asked to provide their SIN. Forms are
designed to pass information to the student database securely and are only
accessible by authorized personnel. In the event a new student is submitting
payment via an alternative method, a secure form will be sent to the student
from their student support representative.
Security and Destruction of SIN Data
All documents, applications, or lists containing an individual student’s SIN
will be stored in UFred’s secure student management database and will only be
accessible by staff who have authorized access to this type of information.
The CRA recommends that DEI hold a student’s SIN information for 4 years,
starting at the end of the calendar year of a student’s final year. At this
point the SIN information will be purged from the system.
I am a non-resident of Canada; will I be required to provide a SIN?
Students who are non-residents of Canada will not be required to provide a SIN.
The CRA’s definition of a non-resident for tax purposes can be found here.
What if I need to update my SIN?
If you have noticed we have the incorrect SIN or you need to update your SIN,
you will need to contact your Student Support representative who will provide
you with a secure form.
I do not have a SIN. How can I apply for one?
Information on eligibility and how to apply for a SIN can be found on the
Government of Canada’s Employment and Social Development website. You can also
find more information by visiting a Service Canada office.
I have misplaced or can’t remember my SIN. What should I do?
One of the simplest ways to access your SIN is to review your most recent Notice
of Assessment, provided by the CRA. You can also request a confirmation of SIN
from Service Canada. More information can be found on the Government of Canada’s
Employment and Social Development website.

CONCEPTS AND TOOLS, RECRUITING AND SELECTION
The choice for tightening the gap between HR and business.
A well-executed Human Resource initiative can have a significant impact on the
bottom line and the overall success of an organization. When strategically
integrated with an understanding of business practices and motivations, HR
programs are proven to be powerful tools. This program focuses on core
management principles, compensation management, training, development,

Professional Selling & Leadership
SPECIALTY COURSES*: CONSULTATIVE SELLING, STRATEGIC SELLING AND LEADERSHIP,
SALES ENABLEMENT
The choice for ambitious sales management professionals.
Higher education in sales has always been scarce. The dynamic landscape of
modern selling has made harmonizing sales theory and sales practice a difficult
academic task. UFred has overcome this issue by bringing prominent Sales
Management Executives to the table. The profession of sales has evolved
dramatically towards using data and business knowledge to drive success. By
delivering an online program influenced by a contingent of industry sales
leaders, UFred faculty understands the nuances present in today’s
always-changing sales environment. This program has been designed to allow
students to move into senior or executive roles while they obtain and apply the
business acumen needed to drive success.
The mantra has been that to be successful in sales, you need experience. Methods
and secrets learned in the field; intricacies that are difficult to extract as a
science. To achieve a career goal in sales, an individual also requires robust
professional development, training, and education. Advanced post-secondary
education has had trouble conveying these concepts in an academic context, as
many curriculum developers and instructors are not actively working in a sales
role. This stream is designed to help sales professionals blend business
concepts with sales experience. The Professional Selling & Leadership specialty
stream at UFred addresses the need for a Masters degree for sales professionals
looking to progress into leadership positions. Created and taught by a faculty
of professors still active in senior sales roles, you will be given a platform
to harmonize field experience with navigating business structures, increasingly
technical and mature procurement departments, multichannel approaches,
relationship building, and developing complex solutions that are effective in
the ever-changing marketplace.

Health & Safety Leadership
SPECIALTY COURSES*: THE BUSINESS CASE FOR OHS CHANGE, ENTERPRISE RISK
MANAGEMENT, ESSENTIAL COMMUNICATION AND INTERPERSONAL SKILLS FOR HEALTH & SAFETY
LEADERS
The choice for executives in Occupational Health & Safety.
Well-designed and well-managed health and safety programs contribute to a much
healthier, more satisfied, and more productive workforce. However, many, if not
most, managers of health and safety units have risen to their management
positions without any prior post-secondary education in management, and face the
dual challenges of a potential performance deficit, and reduced probability of
promotion into executive ranks. Jointly supported by the Canadian Society of
Safety Engineering (CSSE), this visionary new program complements the rising
prominence of organizational health and safety units.
"Meetings had safety as part of the agenda, but most of the discussion focused
on business results, forecasts, strategy, budget, and financial targets. These
were areas I wanted more exposure to, so I could be an active participant." --

Business Analytics Leadership
SPECIALTY COURSES*: PRINCIPLES OF ANALYTICS, INTRODUCTION TO PRESCRIPTIVE AND
PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS, ADVANCED TOPICS IN ANALYTICS AND BIG DATA
The choice for professionals who want to leverage the power of data.
In virtually every sector, data production continues to increase at a staggering
pace. Data-driven decisions exist at every level, and reliability on analytic
systems is high. It is crucial that managers and analysts not only understand
business analytics and key metrics but also are able to leverage that
information to capture a competitive advantage. Leaders need to learn how to
best approach and present big data solutions for the benefit of their
organizations. In addition to mastering core business fundamentals, by
understanding of data accuracy, acquisition, context, predictability, and
simulation you will be enabled to approach and solve the right problems with the
right information on a professional level.
Note: For the Business Analytics Leadership Stream, it is assumed you have some
knowledge in data manipulation and work in quantitative problem resolution,
statistics or applied mathematics, and excel for modeling purposes. While
individual learning curves differ, the knowledge noted above will enhance your
success in the Business Analytics Leadership Stream.
"The online approach at UFred has been excellent [since] classes foster a great

Social Enterprise Leadership
SPECIALTY COURSES*: INTRODUCTION TO SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, CURRENT AND EMERGING
TOOLS FOR FINANCING THE SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, SOCIAL ENTERPRISE AND PUBLIC POLICY
The choice for professionals looking for a blended bottom line.
The most immediate roadblock for organizations seeking to take on more social
responsibility is their bottom line. It can be an immense challenge for leaders
to align social and commercial goals in a way that is good for business, and the
rise of the Social Enterprise model combats this difficulty. Seeking to balance
sustainable profitability with a social mission, Social Enterprise leaders must
focus on delivering blended value results that minimize the need to compromise
on their social mission. It takes a skilled individual to navigate these
complexities, and the Social Enterprise Leadership specialty stream prepares
professionals to communicate the effectiveness of a triple bottom line.

Minister’s office, and social entrepreneurs running their own businesses … and,

Consulting Leadership
SPECIALTY COURSES*: THE CONSULTANT AND THE CONSULTING PROCESS, THE CONSULTING
CYCLE APPLIED, CONSULTING WITH YOUR CLIENT
The choice for ambitious consulting professionals.
This stream is aimed at professionals who either want to transition to a career
as a consultant or those who want to further develop their capacity in the
profession. The topics covered are critical for entry into the consulting
profession whether that be as an independent consultant or with a large firm.
Managers will also find it useful for dealing with outside consultants. This
stream helps prepare students for the Certified Management Consultant (CMC)
professional designation administered by the Canadian Association of Management
Consultants. Management consultants will benefit from banks and firms seeking
their services throughout 2018-2023 as financial services is a key driver of
industry demand.
Consulting, like leadership, is really about influencing. As such, consultants
are knowledgeable, skilled, and trusted persons who are in a position to
influence their clients. Like leadership, consulting is about change through
improved organizational performance. A consultant provides objective advice and
supports the implementation of business solutions. It is not “telling” a client
what to do, but guiding the client to make decisions and then supports the

Consulting Leadership is comprised of three courses designed to provide the
knowledge and skills for successful consulting. The first two courses use a
complex progressive case where students can apply their specific areas of
expertise to address organizational problems. The third course provides the
opportunity to apply the new knowledge and skills to an actual consulting
opportunity. Built by experienced consultants, the course provides proven
concepts plus actual “tools” used in real-world consulting projects.
