Pre-Education Certificate

About this programme

Teachers are one of our most valuable resources. They have the ability to plant the seed that grows into a life-long love of learning while shaping the lives of their students. If a career as a teacher interests you, consider starting with the Pre-Education certificate. The one-year Pre-Education certificate gives you the opportunity to get a taste of the academic courses required to pursue a Bachelor of Education or a Bachelor of Arts degree. All of the courses in the certificate are approved by the BC Teacher Regulation Branch. Courses can also transfer to many universities in BC and Alberta or be used as electives for an arts and science diploma or an associate of arts degree. This program starts in September each year. Part-time students applying in the Winter or Spring semester should select University General Studies as their program when applying.
