Program details

Overview

The Advanced Certificate in Accounting and Finance is a nationally recognized certificate for those seeking a challenging and rewarding career in accounting and finance. It offers you courses in financial accounting, management accounting, and finance, with the option to take a co-op term during your studies. Upon graduation, you'll be prepared to enter business or government in an accounting capacity at an entry or intermediate level.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to this Advanced Certificate requires one of a C in English 12 or a C in Camosun's English 12 Camosun Alternative, with proof of that grade or higher due at application. The programme also carries a math participation condition rather than a strict entry gate: many first-year Business courses require math as a prerequisite (for example a C in Pre-Calculus 11, Foundations of Math 11, MATH 073, MATH 077, or MATH 137, or a C+ in MATH 072, MATH 075, or MATH 135), so a student may enter without having met this yet but must complete one of the listed math courses, or Camosun's math assessment, in or before their first semester of study. The page states no separate IELTS, TOEFL, or other international English-test score, and no portfolio or interview is described.

Application Details

Start Date: Three starts a year: September (Fall term), January (Winter term) and May (Summer term). Camosun lists this as an open-enrolment programme, so the intake is not capped.

Application Deadline: DOMESTIC APPLICANTS follow Camosun's college-wide open-enrolment schedule, not a date set by this programme. Winter 2027 (January start): early deadline 15 September 2026, final deadline 7 January 2027. Summer 2027 (May start): early deadline 15 January 2027, final deadline 29 April 2027. Fall 2027 (September start): applications open 1 October 2026, early deadline 15 May 2027, final deadline 26 August 2027. Applying by the early date puts your file in front of Admissions in time for priority course registration; nothing is accepted after the final date. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS have separate deadlines: 1 June for a September (Fall) start, 1 October for January (Winter) and 1 February for May (Summer). Those dates hold only while seats remain, so a popular intake can close sooner; a later application may still be looked at if seats are open and there is time to obtain a study permit. Domestic and international applicants both apply online through EducationPlannerBC (apply.educationplannerbc.ca/camosun).
