Program details

Overview

The micro-credential introduces security operations within an organisation, relevant to roles such as security analyst or incident responder within a Security Operations Centre. Skills developed include detecting and analysing network attacks and developing incident response plans. Prior completion of a micro-credential, certificate, diploma, degree, or industry certification in information technology is recommended before starting.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: BCIT runs no formal admissions process for this micro-credential and publishes no minimum grade, GPA or English/French language test score for it. All four required courses (XINC 2110, 2120, 2130 and 2140) carry no stated prerequisite, though BCIT recommends applicants have first completed a microcredential, certificate, diploma, degree or private-industry certification in Information Technology. Students register course by course through BCIT Flexible Learning, with intakes in January, April and September. International applicants may take the program but are not eligible for a study permit through it. After finishing all four courses, students email the program contact with their name, student number and mailing address to receive the credential; BCIT states no age, portfolio or interview requirement.

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.
