Applied AI Micro-certificate at University of Victoria in Victoria, Canada is a micro-credential in AI & Machine Learning programme. The programme runs for 5 weeks, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 760 per total (CAD 800 per total for local students).
Artificial intelligence already appears in everyday digital tools, from spell-checks and internet searches to help with writing emails, process automation, and generating creative ideas. This micro-certificate looks at how AI is applied across workplace tasks and procedures, drawing on real-world uses in areas such as business, marketing, healthcare, and finance. It also examines the biases built into how AI is developed and deployed, preparing participants to evaluate AI tools critically when using them in their own work.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Applied AI for Administration micro-certificate has no formal admission process: Continuing Studies states that 'enrolment is open to all learners,' with no prior degree, minimum grade, or GPA required to register. There is no application to complete; prospective students simply select and register directly for the required course. The program is aimed at working professionals who are new to artificial intelligence or who regularly use digital technology in an administrative role, but the page sets no formal prerequisite tied to that background. Continuing Studies' general English-proficiency policy applies only where a program requires proof; non-credit micro-certificates such as this one are not listed among the programs that mandate a formal English-language test score, though a functional command of English is assumed for coursework.
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.
