Program details

Overview

The Addiction Counselling Skills Award of Achievement will give you specialized knowledge and skills for social services workers to better support clients living with addictions.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission is assessed on background rather than a course transcript: applicants must show prior education, experience or training in the helping fields, and a stated desire to develop skills supporting vulnerable people with addictions. VCC encourages applicants with lived experience of addiction to apply. To be evaluated, applicants upload supporting documentation — a resume, records of relevant training or education, and/or a letter of intent — for departmental review; the page describes no formal admissions interview or portfolio requirement. No secondary-school credential, minimum grade, or standardized English-language test score such as IELTS or TOEFL is listed on the programme page.

Application Details

Start Date: 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.
