About Associate Certificate - Business Fundamentals
Program Description
The Business Management Studies (BMS) program provides an academic path for international and permanent resident students whose first language is not English (and do not meet the general English requirements) to enter a full-time diploma program in the School of Business at BCIT. For some students who want to study a shorter program in business, the BMS program also provides an excellent opportunity to learn basic Canadian business skills and improve their English competency.
International and ESL students sometimes find the challenges of a transition to Canada and instruction in English and the intense BCIT programming too much to meet. By studying in the BMS program, students can work up to the high level of work and English competency that is needed to succeed in the diploma programs.
The Business Management Studies program has several pre-entry levels of English language instruction available that help bridge students to the level of English they need to succeed at BCIT. Class sizes are kept small to ensure there is more attention to their individual needs. At the end of the program, students will be eligible to receive an Associate Certificate and apply for entry into Level 2 of most business diploma programs at BCIT.
