BCIT’s Civil Technology & Public Works Part-time Studies (PTS) programs and courses provide a BCIT credential in Civil Technology as well as continuing education and professional development opportunities for individuals in various municipal, civil technology and public works fields. Instructional sessions are presented through live interactive web-lectures delivered through an online course portal (BCIT Learning Hub) by industry subject matter experts.

In addition, there are number of Distance Education (DE) courses available. For your benefit we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help in your decision whether Civil Technology PTS programs and courses might work for you. You can take just one or two PTS courses or complete Certificate, Associate Certificate or Statement of Completion.

Ladder your credential

Start with Civil Technology Associate Certificate, finish with Civil Technology Certificate (30 credits+30 credits=60 credits). Civil Technology programs allow you to advance your education by laddering one credential into another— shortening your overall classroom time and getting you into your career more quickly.

BCIT Part-time Studies programs are offered on a course-by-course basis, allowing you to work towards a credential at a pace that’s right for you or just take some of the courses for your professional development. If you plan to complete Civil Technology Associate Certificate and/or Civil Technology Certificate , you need to declare your program.

Please note that PTS courses do not lead to a Diploma or Degree nor confer advanced placement in the full-time Civil Engineering program. If you already have a Civil Engineering degree or diploma, download our information sheet Resources for Internationally-trained Professionals [PDF, 70 KB].
