Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a BScN degree and be a Registered Nurse in good standing with the College of Nurses of Ontario; those holding an RN Temporary Licence to practise are also considered. The postgraduate certificate is a single-semester, hybrid programme delivered at the Sutherland campus, combining in-class theory with clinical perioperative placement, so applicants must already be eligible to practise as an RN in Ontario before they can be placed. The programme page sets no language requirement of its own, so Fleming's institution-wide English proficiency standard for graduate-certificate programmes applies: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88, Duolingo English Test 120, or PTE Academic 56.

Application Details

Start Date: January, May and September

International applicants apply via the OCAS International Application Service to the September, January or May intake and face no fixed deadline; Fleming instead recommends applying between six weeks and five months before the intended start depending on home country, and processes files on a rolling basis with offers typically issued within 5-10 business days.
