Lighthouse Labs continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and uses the most recent information from federal, provincial and local health authorities. Take a look at Lighthouse's Covid Safety Plan.
Last Updated December 2020
Since Monday, March 16th, 2020 all in-person programs and events have been suspended and are now available in an online format. If you want to start the program online we can assure you that it will be possible to finish online! We won’t be moving back to in-person until the government and health professionals agree that it is 100% safe to resume in-person classes.
To all students and employees,
Now in the most unprecedented of times, we want to update everyone in an effort to maintain transparency and clarity for the Lighthouse Labs community. The entire team here is committed to doing our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Our priority has always been and will remain the health of our students, our teachers, and our staff, along with delivering a premium education experience and top-end industry results.
We continue to closely monitor the status of the outbreak and will continue to adapt our practices to follow recommendations from the World Health Organization, Government of Canada, provincial governments, and health authorities in each of the regions in which we operate.
We are committed and prepared to ensure a consistently great student experience completely remotely for any length of time necessary. We will continue to provide updates on the status of remote working strategies as updates of the overall Canadian situation progress.
All students will be receiving an email with the Remote Bootcamp User Guide as well as some tips on how best to assure you stay productive and motivated while working from home.
We know it’s tough, and we know it’s our job to help shield you from as much of the disruption as possible to make sure we are delivering an incredible experience and the same outcomes you signed up for when you applied. As you all know, while these past weeks have escalated more quickly than most anticipated, Lighthouse had started working on preparing for the eventuality of a full remote experience a while ago and we are ready to start delivering on our remote bootcamp experience.
During times of uncertainty, we remain proud and positive in knowing that Lighthouse Labs' progressive and adaptable approach has equipped us with the abilities not only to cope with change but to serve as a beacon and resource for education. You can count on us for continuous updates, commitment to the student experience, and maintenance of a safe learning environment.

Do you have any work-from-home tips?
Tips from our alumni and LHL web developer - Karl:
Working from home and keeping focused is mostly about mindset. Here are some tips to get you into that mindset in the morning, and keep you there until you are done with your day.
If you have a routine you follow when you get up to go to work, do it when you’re working at home as well. Get up at a normal work time, have a shower, get ready, wear the clothes you would if you were going into the office etc.
Preferably you want a workspace that is a desk. Try to make it as free from distractions as possible. So, not in front of a TV and not in bed (see number 1). etc. Find somewhere quiet, and set it up to be as productive as possible. There’s some awesome online guides.
If you don’t have an office chair, find something close. Being uncomfortable for long periods will be an instant distraction. Dining room table chairs are a decent option with a thin Pillow.
Take breaks, have a lunch hour, get that morning/afternoon coffee etc. When your day is over, your day is over.
Make sure that when your day is over you stop. Keeping “work time”, and “personal time” defined and separate is important physically, and mentally.
You are your biggest enemy in this. Following the steps above will help you get into the same mindset you would in the office, but at home. You need to keep yourself focused. Do what you need to do to get into that headspace and stay there.
Hope this helps making working from home productive, and give you all a leg up on working from home. It can be an awesome thing, with the right goals.
