Requirements

Admission Requirements: This is a BCIT Flexible Learning (Part-time Studies) certificate: there is no formal program application before starting, and applicants register directly for individual courses once they meet each course's prerequisites, then declare the program after completing two or three courses. The only stated entrance requirement is English language proficiency at BCIT's Category 3 level: English Studies 12 at 50%, or an equivalent from BCIT's institution-wide English Language Proficiency table, which for Category 3 also accepts IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band below 5.0, TOEFL iBT 82 with no section below 19, or PTE Academic 52 with no skill below 50. Course prerequisites not already met can be satisfied through BCIT upgrading courses, and equivalent courses completed at another post-secondary institution can be submitted for transfer credit with an official transcript and course outline. This program is not available to international students.

Application Details

Start Date: January, April and September
Application Deadline: BCIT publishes common credential application dates for most cohort-based diplomas, degrees and Flexible Learning routes, though each program's own page governs: for the January 2027 intake domestic applications run 1 February 2026 to 2 January 2027 and international to 1 November 2026; for the April 2027 intake domestic runs 1 May 2026 to 1 April 2027 and international to 1 February 2027; for September 2027 domestic applications open 1 October 2026 and close 1 September 2027, international 2 July 2027. Openings are 9:00 am and deadlines 11:59 pm Pacific Time, moving to the next business day on a weekend. Admission is not institute-wide rolling, but many programs work first-qualified-first-accepted and can fill before the posted deadline, and several programs, mostly in Health Sciences, trades and graduate studies, run entirely separate application tables of their own. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
