You will gain insight into the scope of managerial oversight required when in position of responsibility in the industry.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The program page for this distance certificate states open admission, requiring only the ability to use a computer and the internet at a basic level; open admission at Thompson Rivers University still runs through the university's general entry gate (recognised secondary-school graduation, IB diploma, 12+ transferable post-secondary credits, or mature-student status for applicants 19 or older). As an Open Learning offering, no standardized English test score is published for this program. Following admission and before enrolling in a practicum course, applicants must submit a Consent to a Criminal Record Check, and a clear record is a pre-practicum and pre-employment requirement; experience working or volunteering with active seniors is recommended, and practicum placements are limited to BC residents.

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.
