Emergency Management for Organizational Continuity Micro-certificate is a micro-credential in Emergency & Disaster Management programme offered by University of Victoria in Victoria, Canada. The programme runs for 1 year, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 3,000 per total for local students.
The micro-certificate builds the ability to keep an organisation running through emergencies such as natural disasters, pandemics, conflict or cyber-attacks, covering the ability to head off, respond to and manage threats bearing on continuity within a given industry, sector or organisation. It is aimed at people within an organisation who are not emergency-management specialists but want the high-level knowledge needed to help build their organisation's operational resilience.

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.

These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
