This certificate opens with the fundamentals of writing, covering structure, key concepts in aesthetic criticism and how to manage the writing process. Students then read and discuss examples drawn from a range of genres to build a broader appreciation of quality in creative writing, before working to develop an individual writing style by producing pieces suited for publication in a venue of their choosing.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This part-time Ontario College Certificate requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or mature-student status for applicants 19 years of age or older, with no further Grade 11/12 subject prerequisites published. Rather than a scored English-language test, the program page states only the general condition that applicants must be able to receive instruction, respond, and research in the English language; no IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or other test score is published for this program. No interview, portfolio, work-experience, or other supplementary admission condition is listed. Applicants apply through the standard Ontario Colleges process at ontariocolleges.ca, and Conestoga makes its final selection following an assessment of the admission requirements against the applicant's record.
