Turn your military experience into academic credit

After an assessment of the knowledge, skills, and abilities you acquired in your military career, you may qualify for advanced placement or course recognition (i.e. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition) towards a certificate, diploma, or degree program.

Several BCIT programs offer Advanced Placement or Direct Entry options based on military service, many of which lead to a degree in as little as two years full-time.

Military course equivalencies

Military members may also be eligible for academic credit toward BCIT degree electives, based on course equivalencies listed in the University of Manitoba’s Military Transfer Credit Database. All credit equivalencies are subject to program area review and approval.
