This three-course, online part-time certificate covers volunteer management aligned with professional and program standards set by Volunteer Management Professionals of Canada, Volunteer Canada and the National Occupational Standards, building knowledge, resources and tools for managing volunteers effectively and creatively. Through a portfolio approach, students build a tailored set of resources and tools suited to a particular organization. The program suits people working in paid, unpaid or supportive roles with volunteers across sectors from faith-based and community groups to large hospitals and municipalities, drawing on the overlap between volunteer management and human resources practice, and can be applied toward the education criteria for the Certified in Volunteer Administration exam.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This part-time certificate uses Conestoga's general continuing-education admission bar rather than named subjects: applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, or must be 19 years of age or older. The page's only language condition is that students must be able to receive instruction, and respond and research, in the English language; Conestoga does not publish a domestic test-score table for this programme, so applicants whose prior education was not in English should expect to meet the college's general English-proficiency and credential-evaluation requirements, and international transcripts should be assessed by a service such as ICAS or WES. Applicants apply through Ontario Colleges (ontariocolleges.ca), with final selection made after an assessment of the stated requirements. All courses in the programme must be completed within four years of acceptance, and students need reliable internet access and a device that meets Conestoga's published technical requirements to participate.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca (college code CONS): for the Fall 2027 intake the online application opens 26 September 2026, the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027, offers may be issued from 1 November 2026, and accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027; most oversubscribed programs stop accepting applications after 1 February 2027, though many programs remain open afterward. Conestoga does not publish a separate equal-consideration date for its January intake. International applicants apply directly to Conestoga and are assessed on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis until each program fills; no fixed international closing date is published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
