Advanced Skills Certificate

Admission Requirements: Entry to Okanagan College's Advanced Skills Certificate (within the Adult Special Education stream) is not through the college's standard secondary-graduation route: it is a two-year, full-time program open only to students who have already successfully completed Okanagan College's Basic Skills Certificate - B (BSCB) program. Advancement requires the department's recommendation, based on the student's demonstrated continued academic growth and maturity while in BSCB, and applicants are expected to show maturity, independence and personal responsibility as learners. No secondary-school course grades, no English-language test score, and no separate portfolio or interview are published as admission conditions; the program can be taken full-time or part-time, with a maximum of three years to complete unless the department and Dean approve an extension.
