PGCert in Project Management - Information Technology -1 Year Track at Sheridan College in Oakville, Canada is a postgraduate certificate in Business Administration programme. The programme runs for 2 semesters, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 19,814 per total (CAD 8,179 per total for local students).
Coursework covers Agile and Scrum methodologies alongside traditional project management approaches, plus the use of AI, cloud platforms and data analytics to support IT projects. Electives let students tailor their studies toward areas such as cloud-based project management, enterprise AI implementation leadership, or emerging technologies applied to project management, and students put skills into practice via case studies, simulations and real-world projects that use AI-driven platforms and industry tools such as JIRA and Microsoft Project.
A mandatory work-integrated learning component in the final semester, either a co-op work term or a workplace simulation, builds practical experience. Coursework also prepares students for certifications such as Certified ScrumMaster, PMI Agile Certified Practitioner and Project Management Professional. Two tracks are offered: a one-year track with two semesters of coursework and an optional co-op term, and a two-year track that adds an introductory semester on Canadian business environments before three semesters of coursework and a mandatory 360-hour co-op term or simulation.

Application Details
Start Date:January
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.
