How do I apply?

Call 1-877-315-5241 or 250-287-9850 and make an appointment for an interview with our Career Advisor. At the interview, our Career Advisor will spend time with you to review what your needs are, talk about the potential job market(s), take you through the program(s) outline and pre-requisites required, assist you with the application process and help you with funding options and information. Our Admissions team is here to support you all the way!

When should I apply?

It is recommended to apply at least 3 months prior to the start date of the program. This is to ensure there is enough time to process the admissions and funding applications.

Every effort to accommodate tighter time frames is made but our seats are held on a first come first serve basis.

Admission's hours of operation are 7:30 am to 9:00 pm Monday to Friday and Saturdays 9:00 am -1:00 pm.

What are regular School closures?

What should I be doing while I wait for College to start?
