Program details

Overview

The Executive Assistant certificate teaches communication skills, office technology, business law, human resources, accounting, and economics for a career in office administration at the executive level.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry requires successful completion of VCC's Administrative Assistant Program or its Legal Administrative Assistant Program, or an equivalent as judged by the Applied Business department head. The programme lists no standardized English test score (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo, CAEL); instead it asks for a good command of oral and written English and the ability to follow instructions, and applicants whose first language is not English may be asked to sit VCC's own internal language assessment. General college conditions also apply: Canadian citizenship or permanent residency, age 16 or older or secondary-school graduation, and a complete application with official transcripts, supporting documents and the required fee, processed in the order applications are completed rather than competitively.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through EducationPlannerBC. VCC publishes each programme's own application window, term by term, on its When to Apply page rather than one college-wide date: windows open roughly six to twenty months before the term starts and close on a stated date, though popular programmes can close earlier once seats fill, since places generally go to eligible applicants in the order their application is completed. International applicants use the International Applicant option on EducationPlannerBC; VCC opens international applications on 1 February of the previous year for Winter entry, 1 June for Spring/Summer, and 1 October for Fall, with no fixed closing date — applications continue until roughly three to four months before the term begins or until it fills, so admission is effectively rolling for international applicants. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
