Career Opportunities
The Business Administration certificate program opens the door to a wide range of entry level positions. Career positions may include, but would not be limited to, office employee, banking and financial assistant or accounting assistant.
The Online Experience
The online Business Administration certificate is an interactive, mixed-media program designed specifically for online users and NIC’s Blackboard online learning environment. It offers the same course curriculum as our traditional business certificate program, with the same quality and standards expected of North Island College, yet gives you the flexibility to learn at the time and in the place that’s best for you.
The program begins with an online orientation, where you’ll be introduced to your classmates, instructors and staff and receive training on how to use the online learning tools. Courses have a mix of group and individual assignments, in addition to online study groups. You will gain experience working independently and as part of a group, while getting to know each other. You will be able to move through the course material as quickly as you wish or take your time to review and repeat concepts as needed. Either way, you will stay on track and connected throughout the program.
Transfer Credit & Credit For Prior Learning
The NIC business administration program accepts course transfer credit from a wide range of post secondary institutions and professional organizations. Detailed course transfer information for BC institutions may be found by accessing the BC Transfer Guide. Students possessing other applicable prior learning may request prerequisite waivers for selected courses.
