Program details

Overview

This micro-certificate is delivered through flexible online learning and is designed to build an understanding of sustainability. It aims to strengthen the skills of individuals currently working in tourism, or looking to start a career in the sector, set against a growing need for climate change adaptation as extreme weather events occur more frequently and new targets are set for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: This non-credit micro-credential does not require admission to the University of Victoria and has no formal academic prerequisites. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English, both written and verbal, and have regular access to a computer with a reliable internet connection to complete the six-week online course. The program page states no formal application is necessary and specifies no standardised English test score such as IELTS or TOEFL; enrolment goes directly through course registration. Participants are expected to engage respectfully and be able to complete all assignments and contribute to discussions.

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.
