The graduate certificates in Advanced Nursing Practice I and II provide registered nurses with advanced practice knowledge and practical experience to develop specialized clinical skills. Delivered by the Faculty of Nursing as a cohort-based, part-time online program, each certificate consists of four courses (12 units) completed over 12 months. The format lets working registered nurses pursue focused, graduate-level specialization while continuing clinical practice, without committing to a full master's degree. Admission takes place once a year, in September, with separate application windows for Certificate I and Certificate II. No work samples, reference letters, or standardized test scores are required; applicants submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended. The certificates can serve as a pathway toward further graduate nursing study.
