CORE: Course on Research Ethics
This is the required online course that all 3rd year core students must take as part of the approval process for their research project. Here is some background on it:
The online tutorial TCPS 2: CORE (Course on Research Ethics) is an introduction to the 2nd edition of the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS 2). TCPS 2:CORE consists of eight modules that reflect the content of TCPS 2. It is applicable to all researchers involved in human participant research, regardless of discipline or methodology. The purpose of TCPS 2: CORE is to provide an introduction to TCPS 2, primarily for researchers and, secondarily, for Research Ethics Board members.
The certificate of completion for the tutorial is required of all University researchers conducting primary research with human participants, and recommended for all REB members. A copy of the certificate should be sent to the Emily Carr University Research Ethics Board – ethics@ecuad.ca. Annual renewal is required for all University researchers conducting primary research with human participants.
And here’s the direct link below, it’s not that long of a course (relatively speaking) but it isn’t a quick quiz either. Will probably take you a few hours to complete so you may want to start as soon as you have a few spare moments (your progress is saved when you log out so you don’t have to do it all at once).

Okay, good luck. Or maybe I should say Gambare (Japanese for “Do your best”).
