Admission Requirements: This part-time certificate's admission requirement, as published on Conestoga's continuing-education program page, is an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or being 19 years of age or older. On language the page states only that students must be able to receive instruction, respond, and research in the English language; no IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo score is published, and no deferred requirements page is linked from this listing. Previous or current human-resources experience is noted as an asset rather than a requirement, and no portfolio or interview is mentioned. Applicants apply through Ontario Colleges (ontariocolleges.ca) and pay the fee there; final selection is made following an assessment of the stated admission requirements rather than through a ranked or competitive-average process.
