Requirements
Admission Requirements: Coast Mountain College's Workplace Skills Training Certificate is intended for students with learning disabilities or multiple barriers to learning who have not succeeded in mainstream courses. Admission runs through an intake interview with the instructor or coordinator and a learning-assistance specialist, plus standard literacy and numeracy assessment, with a minimum Literacy 101 functioning level required; integrated Functional Literacy courses (LIT 100-103) support varied academic backgrounds. No specific prerequisite courses, grades, or standardized English test score are stated by the program itself. English proficiency is required of every applicant regardless of citizenship. International applicants who have not completed senior secondary education, including a pass in English 12, in a designated English-speaking country must present an approved test score, with minimums tiered by program: IELTS Academic overall 6.0 (bands 5.0-6.0), TOEFL iBT overall 72-80, PTE Academic overall 52-57, CAEL overall 50-60, or Duolingo English Test overall 105-115. Intakes run in September and January terms, though specific dates are listed as TBD.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Coast Mountain College runs one common application calendar across its campuses rather than a single date per programme. Domestic applicants: for the 2026-27 academic year, applications opened 1 October 2026; the final day to apply is 24 December 2026 for Winter (January 2027) entry, 23 April 2027 for Spring/Summer 2027, and 30 August 2027 for Fall 2027. International applicants share the same opening date but face earlier cut-offs: 1 October 2026 for Winter, 1 February 2027 for Spring/Summer, and 1 June 2027 for Fall, and some high-demand programmes may close sooner. Trades and other varying-start programmes are judged against their own start dates (international due three months, domestic one week, before start), and continuous-intake programmes accept applications year-round. No single closing date exists beyond these cut-offs. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
