Care Institute operates as a private, independently owned corporation with seven employees and a single Vancouver headquarters at 1770 East 18th Avenue. Its revenue model combines one-time course registration fees (priced from $75 for half-day courses up to $1,600 for the two-part CSO program) with professional services fees from the WCB Claims Management consulting stream. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on phone, email ([email protected]), and the company website, with the primary geographic market limited to British Columbia.
