Requirements

Admission Requirements: VCC's page for this program redirects to the Health and Wellness Professional – Cosmetology page under VCC International, which is the current entrance point for the international offering. The stated academic prerequisite is English 10 or equivalent. English-language proficiency requirements vary by program and are set on VCC International's general English Requirements page; this programme page states no specific IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL score of its own, only that applicants must be able to function successfully in an English-speaking classroom. International applicants must be 17 or older or a secondary-school graduate (with possible exceptions), and must submit official transcripts and required educational documents. Seats are awarded on a first-qualified, first-served basis. The program involves close one-on-one client contact, extended standing, fine motor skills, and exposure to fragrances and skincare chemicals. Intakes run in January, March, May, September, October and November.

Application Details

Start Date: January, March, May, September, October, November
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.
