Certificate

Upon completion of the program, participants will receive a certificate from the George Morris Centre, signed by the lead instructor for the program.

Classroom

Classroom instruction plus quizzes, and workshops. In today's increasingly competitive marketplace, downstream flexibility can be achieved in part by predicting and managing upstream risk. For any company whose production or inputs involve commodities, better price risk management can involve improving their use of options, futures and exchange rates. For companies whose outputs or raw materials are commodity-based, commodities trading strategies can help manage risks from unfavourable downstream price changes.

Seasonal

The program is usually held in January of each year in Guelph, Ontario. Additional programs may held in the spring if demand is high. Custom-designed programs are an option for individual companies or trade associations.
