Requirements
Admission Requirements: Requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with the majority of credits at Workplace (E) level including Grade 12 (E) English, or with the majority at College (C) or Open (O) level; Grade 12 C courses are accepted where a Grade 11 C course is listed, and University/Mixed (U/M) courses are accepted where a College-level course is listed. Applicants aged 19 or older without an OSSD may write the Skillsmarker assessment and may need further testing or academic upgrading to meet specific course requirements. The programme page sets no language requirement of its own, so Fleming's institution-wide English proficiency standard for diploma and certificate programmes applies: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 80, Duolingo English Test 105, or PTE Academic 46, or completion of Level 8 of Fleming's own English Language Bridge programme.
