Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold an Ontario College Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Degree, or equivalent in computer science, information technology, computer information systems, computer programming, or business, or alternatively have a minimum of three years of related IT industry or professional experience. Those relying on experience rather than a credential must submit a resume outlining their work experience and career goals. The page does not itself quote a language-test score, deferring to Conestoga's institution-wide English Language Proficiency Requirement, which for graduate certificates sets IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 88, PTE Academic 58, or Duolingo 120. Canadian applicants with non-Canadian transcripts need a course-by-course credential evaluation. Students must also have reliable internet access and a device meeting the program's eText requirements.
