Offered by Collège Boréal in Sudbury, Canada, PGCert in Administration en services à l'enfance is a postgraduate certificate in Business Administration programme. The programme runs for 3 semesters, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 5,112 per year for local students.
One component of this program develops professional communication skills for a childcare administration context, including choosing and applying different writing strategies to produce documents aimed at parents, staff, the governing board and the wider community. It also covers facilitating meetings in ways that share information effectively, build consensus and gather feedback, alongside structured problem-solving techniques. Clear, well-organized expression and strong command of language are treated as core professional requirements running through the coursework.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This postgraduate-certificate programme is a graduate-entry pathway: applicants must already hold a bachelor's degree, or a two- or three-year college diploma (or equivalent), in early childhood education, child and youth services, or a related field. One year of experience in early-childhood services is recommended but not stated as mandatory. The programme page does not publish a language-test requirement of its own; as with all Collège Boréal programmes, applicants whose prior studies were not completed entirely in French must meet the college's French-language requirement (TFEA 70%, CLB 6-7, DELF/DALF B2, TFI B2 at 650, TEF B2, or TCF B2 at 400-499), per the college's own admissions page.
Application Details

Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca (OCAS/SACO): Collège Boréal opens its admission cycle each October for programmes starting the following fall or winter, and for its limited-enrolment (contingenté) programmes the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which files are ranked first-come, first-served and may be waitlisted; accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027 with the tuition deposit due 15 June 2027. International applicants apply through the SIA/OCAS international portal and face no fixed deadline, but Boréal recommends filing at least three months ahead: 1 June for the autumn session and 1 October for the winter session. Admission outside contingenté programmes is otherwise rolling until seats fill. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
