Program details

Overview

This micro-certificate builds the skills and knowledge needed to work in the field of finance, giving participants a firmer grasp of basic financial management theory and how to analyse financial information. Participants develop the ability to prepare and analyse journal entries, financial statements, balance sheets, and other reports. By the end of the programme, participants gain the confidence and expertise to address financial obstacles for a business.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The program page lists its admission requirements as "None": the micro-certificate is open to anyone seeking career enhancement or a career change into finance, to business owners or managers, and to those building foundational knowledge for further study in finance and accounting. No prerequisite course, minimum grade, English-language test score, or other entry condition is stated, and students register directly for any of the three required courses to begin, with the credential issued once all three are complete. No prior finance or accounting coursework, minimum grade, English-language test score, portfolio, or interview is required, in keeping with the program's stated aim of being accessible to a broad, non-specialist audience.

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.
