Micro-credential in Cybersecurity Essentials for IT Professionals Micro-credential

Admission Requirements: BCIT sets no formal prerequisite for this microcredential and requires no formal application; applicants register directly for its workshops. The page recommends English 12 or equivalent, plus a diploma or two years of post-secondary study in computer science and some knowledge of operating systems, for success rather than as an admission condition. The three workshops run Saturdays, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and no interview, portfolio, or work-experience requirement is stated. The page notes the single annual Fall intake will not run in Fall 2026, alongside ongoing flexible-learning intakes in January, April and September. The microcredential is open to international applicants completing it from outside Canada or holding valid Canadian status other than a study permit; a study permit does not qualify a person for this program.
