Program details

Overview

This diploma trains students to carry out non-invasive diagnostic cardiology procedures such as electrocardiograms, ambulatory monitoring, and exercise stress testing, alongside building an understanding of advanced concepts in cardiac devices and electrophysiology. A clinical practicum completed outside the home province adds hands-on experience ahead of graduation.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission is competitive and runs in three steps. Step 1, minimum requirements: English language proficiency at Category 1 (English Studies 12 at 73%, or an institution-wide equivalent such as IELTS Academic overall 7.0 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90 with no section below 20, or PTE Academic 65 with no skill below 60); Math (Pre-Calculus 12 at 67%, or Pre-Calculus 12 at 50% combined with Calculus 12 at 50%, or Foundations of Math 12 at 67%); Biology (Anatomy and Physiology 12 at 67%, or BCIT's BHSC 0110/BHSC 0100 equivalents); Chemistry 11 at 67%; Physics 11 or 12 at 67%; and a mandatory Applicant Questionnaire submitted with the online application. Step 2, department assessment: complete files are scored on academic strength and the questionnaire, and short-listed applicants complete a virtual Multiple Mini Interview. Step 3, on conditional acceptance: a Criminal Record Check, an immunization record (influenza vaccination or masking during flu season), and N95 respirator fit testing to CSA CAN/CSA-Z94.4-02, re-certified annually, are required before the clinical practicum. This program is not available to international students.

Application Details

Start Date: September and January
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.

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.
