Valley Training Services (a division of Direct Bearing Incorporated) has developed a program to help schools offering SHSM programs meet sector specific training and certification requirements. We offer an extensive number of programs to help students obtain the required compulsory and elective certificates listed in the SHSM sector guides.

All of our programs are designed to prepare students for the challenges of the work-place environment. Students develop an understanding of the key skill areas required by employers for each of our programs. We deliver both training courses and certifications.
Our programs are delivered by experienced professionals who have both hands-on industry training and experience teaching in the high school environment. Our programs utilize a variety of teaching methods with a special focus on experiential education. Each of our programs meet Ministry of Education requirements.
