Program details

Overview

Over eight months, the certificate surveys a range of business subject areas and pathways into diploma study, covering marketing, accounting, human resources and general business principles while giving students access to current technologies and software used in the field. It feeds directly into the Business or Business - Accounting diploma, letting students complete both the certificate and a diploma within two years.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with Grade 12 English (College Preparation, ENG4C) and Grade 11 Foundations for College Mathematics (College Preparation, MBF3C), or mature student status. International applicants and those whose prior study was not in English must meet the college's general Diploma and College Certificate standard: IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 79-80 with no test score below 20, PTE Academic 60 with no communicative skill below 52, or Duolingo English Test 110 with no band below 105, dated within two years of the start date. No portfolio, interview or other condition is stated. The one-year, two-semester Ontario College Certificate begins in September 2027.

Application Details

Start Date: September 2027

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting in September 2027, the application system opens on 26 September 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which qualified applications are assessed first-come, first-served until seats are full; Sault College publishes no equal-consideration date of its own, and neither OCAS nor the college states a separate date for the January 2027 intake. International applicants apply directly to Sault College rather than through ontariocolleges.ca; the college states only that applications are reviewed within five business days of submission and publishes no fixed opening or closing date for international admission. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
