The Administration certificate program is offered as a part-time program which consists of two sections. In the core section you will complete six courses which provide a general background in the fundamentals of administration. The elective section allows you a choice of Business Administration courses depending on your interests or requirements, including public/municipal administration courses when available through other institutions or by correspondence.

Studies in administration can prepare you with the skills you need to pursue a career in in the public, private, or non-profit sectors. You can use your administrative expertise in a wide range of fields including marketing, manufacturing, retailing, human resources, management, accounting, banking, logistics, public relations, administration, and more. Experienced administrators can expect to take increasing levels of responsibility to manage staff or resources and play an active role in reaching business goals. According to Employment and Social Development Canada, between 2011 and 2020, professional occupations in business and finance are expected to grow at a rate of 2.49%, well above the average of 1.4%. Once you complete the Administration certificate, you can easily ladder into a Bachelor of Business Administration program at UFV or elsewhere to gain further skills and enhance your career.
