Step 2: Meet the requirements
BCIT part-time studies courses are taught assuming that registrants have a BC Grade 12 level of English and proficiency in all four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. BCIT has several upgrading courses for students who wish to improve their English language skills.
Many courses offered through part-time studies have prerequisites that are listed in the course description. Before registering, ensure you have completed the necessary courses or have the skills and knowledge equivalent to the listed prerequisites. Some courses may require department approval prior to registering (see the course description).
