Program details

Overview

This micro-credential is aimed at the demand for skilled personnel in international education, using applied learning and skill development to prepare practitioners to support senior leaders, directors and deans of international education programs. Topics span the history and current state of international education, recruitment and enrolment of international students, staff and faculty mobility, student adaptation, and intercultural dynamics within the field.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: BCIT sets no formal prerequisite for any of this microcredential's five required courses and requires no formal application. The page recommends, for success rather than as a mandatory condition, English 12 or equivalent, basic computer literacy in Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, online discussions and internet searching, and a fast, reliable internet connection for live evening seminars. No specific English-language test score is stated; the page instead points to BCIT's broader English-language proficiency requirements for the 'or equivalent' standard. The program totals 90 hours across its five courses, held 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, across BCIT's ongoing January, April and September intakes. International applicants are permitted but are not eligible for a study permit.

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.
