University of Victoria offers Administrative Technology Micro-certificate, a micro-credential in Information Systems & Technology programme in Victoria, Canada. The programme is delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 2,130 per total (CAD 2,200 per total for local students).
Structured as three courses, this micro-certificate introduces the computer and technical skills expected of someone working in a modern administrative role, focusing on what a general office or business environment actually requires day to day. It is pitched at two groups in particular: people with little or no prior computing background who need a starting point, and those already working who want to retrain or bring existing computer skills up to date. Because it is designed as a foundational programme, it can also function as an entry point into larger certificate and diploma programmes, giving participants a benchmark before moving into more advanced administrative technology study. The compressed format allows the whole programme to be finished within a single academic term, making it suited to someone who wants to move quickly into basic administrative work rather than commit to an extended course of study. The overall emphasis stays on practical, job-ready computer competency rather than administrative theory.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Administrative Technology micro-certificate sets no admission requirements beyond the Division of Continuing Studies' own general conditions of enrolment, such as its minimum age policy; the program page states explicitly that there are 'no admission requirements outside of the Division of Continuing Studies' requirement.' There is no formal application, minimum grade, GPA, or English-language test score published for this program. Participants register directly for one of three individual courses that make up the micro-certificate, paying a $20 program fee at registration, and are responsible for confirming they meet any prerequisite or experience level recommended for the specific course they choose, though no such prerequisites are detailed on the program page itself. Continuing Studies' general English-proficiency policy does not list this non-credit micro-certificate among the programs requiring formal proof of English proficiency.
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.
