This academic upgrading pathway helps students meet the entry requirements for Coast Mountain College's Business Administration Certificate programme. It centres on two foundational courses, English 12 and Math 11, delivered through the college's upgrading department rather than as a fixed-length, cohort-based programme, and the college notes that the full list of Business Administration prerequisites is detailed separately in its catalogue. No specific campus, term length, or intake date is set out for the pathway; instead, students apply through EducationPlannerBC and then work with an Educational Advisor who assesses their current academic standing, discusses funding and support options, and helps select and register for the appropriate individual courses. The pathway suits prospective Business Administration applicants who have not yet completed high-school-level English and math at the required standard and need a structured, advised route to reach those prerequisites before applying to the certificate programme. It functions as a preparatory bridge rather than business training itself, focused solely on bringing academic skills up to admission-ready level.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Coast Mountain College's Business Pathway page, which feeds its Business Administration program, lists ENGL 050 (English 12) and MATH 0401 or MATH 0402 (Math 11) as entry prerequisites, with the full prerequisite list held on the destination program's own catalogue page. The pathway page states no language-test score of its own. 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. No grade minimums, portfolio, interview, or other admission condition is stated on this pathway page.
Application Details
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.
