Mohawk College’s Certified Practitioner of Multi-Sensory Environments (CP-MSE) program was developed to provide learners with a theoretical understanding of Multi-Sensory Environments (MSEs). The program is delivered as a pair of stacked micro-credentials that are combined to obtain the CP-MSE Micro Certification. The 40-hour Theory course is delivered virtually over the course of 8 weeks and includes approximately 4 hours of self-directed/asynchronous learning and 1 hour of synchronous learning per week.

Learners will also complete an Experiential Applications course (8 hours have been assigned to this course) where they will participate in a capstone project demonstrating their applied understanding of MSEs. 

Please note, learners must have access to an MSE or be willing to travel onsite to Mohawk College’s MSE at the Fennell campus.

The Program curriculum is developed collaboratively with Quality of Life Institute (INC) with certification from the International Snoezelen Association – MSE (ISNA-MSE).
