Begin consultation process

During these consulations, we will listen to your objectives, needs, and ideas for crafting this new program.

Throughout this collaborative process, you will be in constant contact with our Program Coordinator to fine-tune, discuss, and finalize the details of the proposal. Once the proposal is approved, you will then sign the contract and receive the invoice and instructions on payment.
