Requirements
Admission Requirements: This is a BCIT Flexible Learning (Part-time Studies) certificate: there is no formal program application before starting, since applicants review each course's prerequisites and register directly once they are met, with some courses needing departmental approval or formal acceptance. Applicants are accepted on a first-qualified basis once they meet the single stated entrance requirement. English language proficiency must be at BCIT's Category 3 level: English Studies 12 at 50%, or an institution-wide equivalent such as 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. This program is not available to international students, who are directed instead to BCIT's Event Marketing and Management Strategy Certificate.
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.
