Requirements

Admission Requirements: This University of Victoria Continuing Studies certificate normally requires graduation from secondary or high school for entrance; the program page notes that previous healthcare experience is not required but is considered an asset, and that the program is open to learners from a variety of educational or professional backgrounds. International students whose first language is not English must provide proof of proficiency through an Academic IELTS overall score of 6.5 with no component below 6.0, or a TOEFL score of 90 on the internet-based test (575 on the paper-based test) with no section below 20; the university's own English Language Centre is offered as a preparatory alternative. No minimum grade point average, portfolio or interview is stated.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
