Capilano University offers Engineering Certificate, a certificate in Engineering & Technology programme in North Vancouver, Canada. The programme runs for 1 year, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 31,142 per total (CAD 6,500 per total for local students).
The one-year certificate offers a first-year, university-transfer program in engineering, intended for able high-school graduates and motivated post-secondary science students. Coursework includes materials science, engineering design, technical drafting and CAD, and an introduction to engineering itself. Students who transfer afterward into an engineering degree track at another British Columbia institution typically need only three further years of study to finish it.

Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants both apply through EducationPlannerBC: the domestic application fee is $50 CAD and the international fee is $135 CAD, each covering up to two programmes. Capilano University publishes no university-wide application-opening or closing date for either group for the 2026-27 cycle; its how-to-apply pages instruct applicants to check the application and document deadlines on their chosen programme's own page, since every programme sets its own intake window there. Admission is effectively rolling at the institution level, governed programme by programme, with some programmes (for example the Health Care Assistant Certificate) publishing a fixed intake window that opens and closes months ahead of the start date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
