All Courses: Just $220/day

Reasonable. All of our courses are $220/day*, and that gets you a one-year all-access pass to the course. Take it as many times as you like at any of our locations across Canada.

(*OK: You caught us. Our Mac101, iLife101, and iWork101 courses are only $99/day.)

Guaranteed To Run

Book your flight, because once we mark a course as Guaranteed To Run, there'll be no cancellations. Watch for the green Splice Guaranteed To Run stamp and checkmark on our course schedule.

Accept only Official Curriculum

Splice presents only official courses from our training partners. We don't alter the curriculum of our official courses, so if you compare the course outline on our site with the course outline on Apple & Avid's websites, you'll find the outlines are identical. Accept only the official courses the way they were designed.

Beware the Bundle Myth

Some companies will offer a "bundle" of courses and claim that you'll save thousands. Compare Splice's everyday prices on the same courses available with their bundles, and you'll find our prices are often lower.

Multiple Choice Quiz

After you've spent the day in our classroom, it's time to relax. Would you prefer to...:

A) Take one step from the training centre and be in the bustling activity of a lively metropolis in the heart of the city. Unwind at one of hundreds of pubs and restaurants, all within a stone's throw, then stroll along the waterfront or perhaps take in a sports game, concert or live theatre.

B) Wait in the rush-hour traffic with your rental car (mindful you don't miss the exit). Drop your car off at the hotel and maybe navigate the public transit system or spend $50 for a cab just to get downtown, which is too much work so you opt to nap then dine in the overpriced hotel restaurant.

If option #B sounds like you, then don't take a course at Splice. That's because all of Splice's training centres are located in the heart of their downtown core. No need for rental cars, highways or industrial parks. Walking distance to entertainment and the night life.

We like to think of your well being both in our classroom, and out of it. That's why we provide Complimentary Concierge Service to all students. Tickets? Directions to the shopping centre? Best lager on the block? Just ask.
