Program details

Overview

The Event Management Certificate provides a broad understanding of core knowledge that covers introductions to tourism and special event management, community and culture, volunteer management, legal liabililty, and marketing. Students will learn to plan and manage festivals and special events.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The Event Management Certificate, delivered through TRU Open Learning, states open admission: the programme page sets no grade, subject or GPA entry threshold of its own, only recommending that applicants have basic computer skills before starting. A minimum of six TRU credits (distance or on-campus) is required toward residency for the 18-credit credential. No standardised English-language test score, portfolio, interview or work-experience requirement is stated on the programme page; applicants ultimately still need to satisfy Thompson Rivers University's general undergraduate admission bases -- a recognised secondary curriculum, transferable post-secondary credits, or mature-student status -- to be admitted to the university itself.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to TRU: for the September (Fall) intake the deadline is 1 May, for January (Winter) it is 1 September, and for the May (Summer) intake it is 1 January; applications for most programs open 1 October, and a deadline falling on a weekend or statutory holiday moves to the next working day. International applicants follow the same intake structure with deadlines of 1 May (September), 1 October (January) and 1 February (May); TRU still reviews later applications where space remains, though high-volume programs can close early, so admission runs on a rolling basis around these published cut-offs for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
