Program details
Overview
The Communication for Professionals Certificate is an 18-credit program offered by Capilano University's School of Communication at its Squamish campus. It is organized into two terms of three courses each: the first covers workplace communication, media studies, and public speaking, while the second covers advanced business writing, interpersonal communication, and advanced presentation skills. The program combines theoretical study with hands-on practice in written, verbal, and digital communication, and can be completed in as little as one year of full-time study or taken course by course at a slower pace. It is designed for working professionals seeking to strengthen their communication and leadership skills for the workplace. Graduates are prepared for entry-level roles such as advertising copywriter, editor, journalist, policy analyst, public relations coordinator, and strategic planner, or for further study in communication-related fields.
