Program details

Overview

This certificate covers a broad base of payroll and human resources responsibilities as applied within a small business, including keeping the organization compliant with legal and regulatory requirements. It suits both an entry-level position inside a small-office setting and a self-taught professional looking to advance existing skills.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: BCIT does not require any specific prior courses, degree, or academic credential for admission to this program. The program's own English-proficiency requirement is Category 2: English Studies 12 at 67% or equivalent, per BCIT's entrance-requirements page. No minimum GPA or average is stated. Applications are accepted year-round on a first-qualified basis as long as space remains, with intakes in January, April and September; proof of meeting entrance requirements must be submitted with the application, and international applicants need a valid study permit before the program starts. No interview, portfolio, or work-experience condition is stated.

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.
