Requirements
Admission Requirements: This Ontario College Graduate Certificate admits applicants who hold a bachelor's degree, diploma, advanced diploma or an equivalent credential; George Brown will also weigh a combination of partial post-secondary study and significant relevant work experience against that standard, provided the applicant supplies a resume and references. The programme page defers to George Brown's institution-wide English Language Proficiency policy for postgraduate programmes: applicants without English-medium secondary or post-secondary study must submit IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with a minimum of 6.0 in each skill band, or TOEFL iBT 88 overall with a minimum of 22 in each skill band, among the other accepted tests listed there; those without a test result instead sit the George Brown Polytechnic English assessment. The programme runs three intakes a year, in January, May and September.
