Diploma in Integrated Disability Management

The Diploma in Integrated Disability Management is a fully online program delivered by the University of Fredericton over 18 months, comprising seven to nine courses. It builds on the certificate's three core courses with Professional Practice, covering cultural diversity, mental health disability management, and professional certification; Effective Communication and Interviewing; and a Guided Practicum, in which students apply prior coursework to a practical disability management project in their own workplace. Students also choose elective courses such as Psycho-Social Hazards, Organizational Dynamics, Ergonomics Foundations, or Canadian OHS Law. Unlike the certificate, the diploma requires attending one live online class per week per course, held on a weekday evening. The diploma is intended for professionals seeking advanced, in-depth expertise in disability management program design and delivery.
