Requirements
Admission Requirements: This postgraduate certificate requires an Ontario College Diploma, Ontario College Advanced Diploma, degree, or equivalent; alternatively, a postsecondary diploma or degree is accepted, with three years of postsecondary education recommended, and completion of three years of a four-year degree also considered. No minimum grade-point average beyond holding one of those credentials is published, and no portfolio or interview condition is stated. As a graduate certificate, Georgian's institution-wide language-proficiency requirement applies to applicants whose first language is not English, since the programme page itself publishes no test-score table: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall or TOEFL iBT 89 overall, with a minimum of 22 in writing and 22 in speaking.
