Overview
The Micro-certificate in Fire Ecology for Environmental Restoration will equip you with practical skills and knowledge to understand and treat the effects of fire on natural ecosystems, prepare communities to respond to wildfire threats, and create ecosystem resilience. This program will prepare you to help mitigate the effects of both prescribed burns and wildfire damage upon the environment. A broad range of conditions and habitat restoration will be studied through intensive in-class and on-site learning, partnered with practical online applications.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This University of Victoria Continuing Studies micro-certificate has no direct-entry academic prerequisite tied to secondary or post-secondary transcripts; instead the program page asks that applicants normally have a minimum of two years of post-secondary studies or equivalent preparation gained through work and life experience, together with a demonstrated interest in the environmental field shown through courses taken, positions held, volunteer work or hobbies. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet the University of Victoria's general English-language proficiency standard, though the program page does not itself publish a test or score. No minimum grade point average, portfolio, interview or other condition 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.
