Program details
Overview
Small Business & Entrepreneurship is a part-time, fully online short certificate that can be finished in a minimum of four months, with January, May, and September intakes. Its case-study-driven coursework covers how to develop and validate a business concept, read and interpret financial statements, improve day-to-day operations, and strengthen customer service, and instructors build lessons around real businesses — sometimes students' own ventures — rather than purely theoretical examples. The program is aimed equally at people about to launch a new business and existing owners looking to fix specific weak spots or grow what they already run, giving both groups practical tools they can apply immediately rather than a general business-theory survey. The short certificate sits within Langara's Continuing Studies business offerings alongside related credentials such as General Business Management and Management and Leadership Skills.
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.
