Program description
In this program you choose the courses that best meet your specific learning needs and objectives. You can complete the requirements in as little as two terms if you choose to study full-time or take longer if part-time study fits your life. This is a University of Victoria credential designed by you for you. Have a look at the course choices below and contact us to discuss your unique program.
Here are just a few ways to create a program:
Business + Public Relations
Does your work require you to have skills in Business and Public Relations?
With this flexible certificate, you can combine courses in Marketing, Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management with courses in Social Media for Public Relations, and Public Relations Theory and Practice. These are just some of the course options you can choose if an education in Business and PR is what you need.
Workplace Safety + Adult and Continuing Education
Are you responsible for safety in your workplace? Do you need to design safety training programs for your employees or coworkers?
With this credential, you can create a program for yourself that combines skills and knowledge in environmental and occupational health with a theoretical and practical foundation in adult and continuing education. Learn what you need to know and how to share it effectively in your workplace.
Canadian History, Intercultural Studies and Practice and French Language
Perhaps you'd like to deepen your understanding of Canadian history and contemporary issues while gaining skills and confidence in our other official language.
