Requirements
Admission Requirements: This international diploma requires Grade 12 graduation or equivalent, Composition 11 (English 11) or equivalent, and Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 10 or equivalent. English-language proficiency is required to function successfully in an English-speaking classroom, with programme-specific detail set on VCC International's English Requirements page rather than a score stated here. International applicants must be 17 or older or a secondary-school graduate, and must submit official transcripts and required educational documents; seats are awarded on a first-qualified, first-served basis. The program lists physical and environmental demands: extended standing, precise hand-eye coordination, frequent heavy lifting, and exposure to machinery noise, chemicals, fumes and dust; a valid driver's licence is required. Intakes run in January, May and September.
Application Details
Start Date:January, May, September
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.
