Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Become a Small Business Owner micro-credential states a skills prerequisite rather than a graded academic one: applicants need a working knowledge of Excel, Word, and PowerPoint or their equivalents, and a commitment to attend is highly encouraged for a successful outcome given the course runs as 22 instructor-led Zoom sessions with one in-person presentation on the final day. Applicants also need a computer with internet access, a webcam, and audio equipment to participate in the online sessions. The page states no letter grade, English-language test score, portfolio, interview, or age condition for enrolment.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC for Camosun's open-enrolment programmes: for Fall 2027 (September) applications open 1 October 2026 with an early deadline of 15 May 2027 for priority registration and a late deadline of 26 August 2027; Winter 2027 (January) runs 15 September 2026 to 7 January 2027, and Summer 2027 (May) 15 January 2027 to 29 April 2027. Limited-enrolment programmes publish only an opening date and can close once the waitlist exceeds the seats on offer. International applicants must submit a complete application by 1 June (Fall), 1 October (Winter) or 1 February (Summer), though later applications are still reviewed while seats remain, making admission effectively rolling for both groups once the early deadlines pass. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
