Free Seat August 2024
Free Seat Program
For many years, SAIT’s Free Seat Program has harnessed our institution’s incredible course offerings to provide employees with valuable professional development opportunities. The program allows employees to take SAIT-delivered credit courses for free, where enrolment space permits.
We have been hard at work revising this program to expand the offerings available to employees and make it easier for them to take advantage of these amazing opportunities. The Free Seat working group is pleased to announce the following enhancements:
- self-registration
- waiver of credit course-related fees and tuition
