Program details
Overview
Professional Sales is a fully online short certificate delivered through Brightspace, mixing self-paced coursework with a single live Zoom session, and it can be finished in as little as four months starting in January or September. Its four courses — a toolkit for sales planning, persuasion and relationship-building techniques, strategies for closing and retaining clients, and foundational selling skills — were developed by international sales trainers and can technically be taken in any order, though Langara suggests a preferred sequence for new students. There's no formal admission requirement beyond professional-level English and basic computer literacy (email, Word, Excel, and general web use) plus a working webcam, microphone, and speakers, which keeps the program open to sales professionals from complete beginners to seasoned reps. Past cohorts have drawn participants from banking, automotive, and other client-facing industries looking to sharpen their sales performance.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: There are no official prerequisites for any of the courses in this program; applicants are simply expected to have professional-level English reading and writing skills and basic computer know-how, including facility with email, MS Word, MS Excel, and general internet use. No prior sales experience is required, and the program is aimed equally at those new to sales and experienced salespeople, executives, or business owners. Because the certificate is delivered 100% online, applicants also need reliable internet access and a compatible device (computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone) with a webcam, microphone, and speakers to participate in coursework.
Application Details
Start Date:January and September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC: for the 2027 entry cycle, applications open 1 February 2026 for Spring (January) entry, 1 June 2026 for Summer (May) entry and 1 October 2026 for Fall (September) entry, then stay open with no fixed closing date until each programme fills or classes begin. International applicants use the same EducationPlannerBC portal but face fixed closing dates: 30 September 2026 for Spring 2027, 31 January 2027 for Summer 2027 and 31 May 2027 for Fall 2027. A short list of limited-enrolment programmes - Nursing, Advanced Entry BSN, Nursing Practice in Canada, Applied Science for Engineering and the Post-Degree Diploma in Data Analytics - set their own, earlier deadlines that apply to both applicant types. Admission is otherwise rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
