Offered by Sheridan College in Oakville, Canada, PGCert in Internet of Things and Machine Intelligence is a postgraduate certificate in AI & Machine Learning programme. The programme runs for 1 year, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 18,765 per year (CAD 9,655 per year for local students).
The certificate covers how to build and maintain equipment connected to the Internet of Things, studying concepts central to Industry 4.0 including robotics, sensors, cybersecurity, cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Three aspects of intelligent IoT systems are addressed: the physical machines and devices responsible for collecting and processing data, the networks and systems that let devices communicate, and the AI algorithms that let these systems act.
Training uses industry-standard equipment through labs, case studies and project work. The program is aimed at graduates of technology programs and at working students, who may be able to apply credits earned previously toward this credential, or gain credit for relevant work experience; completing it also provides advanced standing toward computer engineering diploma programs within the school of mechanical and electrical engineering technology.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a postsecondary diploma, advanced diploma or degree in engineering, information technology, computer science or an equivalent technology field, such as Computer Engineering Technician/Technology, Software Development, Electronics Engineering Technician/Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technician/Technology or Big Data Analytics; science-degree holders are assessed case by case, and applicants from other backgrounds may be considered on postsecondary academic achievement and related work experience. Eligible applicants are ranked and selected by cumulative GPA. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Sheridan's English Proficiency Requirements: for this graduate certificate the published minimums are IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0), TOEFL iBT 88 (no section below 21), PTE Academic 60 (no section below 57), Duolingo 115 (no subscore below 95) or CAEL 70 (no section below 60). Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca; international applicants use Sheridan's International Application Portal.
Application Details
Start Date:January and May
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting in Fall 2027 the application opened 26 September 2026, the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and offers can go out from 1 November 2026, with portfolio- and audition-based programmes deciding later in March; accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027. Winter and Spring/Summer 2027 entry use the same portal but Sheridan publishes no fixed equal-consideration date for them and reviews those on an ongoing basis. International applicants apply directly through Sheridan's own International Application Portal, not ontariocolleges.ca; the college publishes no fixed international deadline and admits on a rolling, space-permitting basis, so early application is advised for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
