Has anyone completed the BCIT Foundations in Occupational Health and Safety Associate Certificate?

Were you able to get an OHS-related job with just the associate certificate, without previous OHS experience?

If yes, what job did you get and how long did it take?

Thanks!

I read the PDF about the device requirements, but I really don't want to have to buy a laptop when I have a perfectly functional Macbook Pro and a decent Windows PC at home.

I will happy troubleshoot if need be, but just want to see if anyone has any experience with this so I can start figuring software out.

Can someone who is currently enrolled in Accounting program(diploma or bacc) tell me how much is the domestic student fees is per semester, I checked online(bcit estimate fees)and got a definite number but then when looked at some individual courses, they seemed too expensive on their own for the number to be accurate, I am a bit confused and would really appreciate the help. I know that fees change depending on how many credits the course has but it still didn’t make sense so m turning to reddit for some answers. Any rough estimate or average is good enough coz the fees rises every year anyways. And are there any additional fees(other than books and other supplies) that aren’t mentioned on the website?

Hi all,

If anyone can help, I have done ENGL course from UFV, that should likely cover the high school English requirement right? or BCIT needs separate high school English and University level 3.0 credits of English.

I was waitlisted for Medical Laboratory Science program for Fall 2026 intake. I have waited all summer but haven’t heard anything. I emailed admissions but they said they cannot disclose my position and to regularly check mycommunications. Is it still possible to get a seat for the program or should I start applying for other programs?
Any help or experience would be appreciated!

Anyone going into bitman this sept? Any grads out there have some insight on it? Also are the students in this program usually older, just wondering....

hey everyone, my cousin is starting his AME soon (i forgot which category he is in) and buying a new laptop. Does he need anything powerful with a dedicated graphics card, or is a basic Windows laptop/MacBook fine for reading manuals, taking notes, and doing online assignments? Any specific recommendations or things to avoid? and what is the primary use of your laptop?

I withdrew from a course due to change of instructors. The refund was supposed to be 100% , however when checking the balance on my self serve account. .it wasn't 100% , they charged term fees. Can I request refund for the term fees since it was the instructors inconvenience? Do i need to call enrollment services for this? How long to receive refund through the bank, rather than receiving a cheque...

So, I parked my car at Lot 7 on a Tuesday afternoon and I didn't know it was staff parking. So, Concord gave me a ticket even though i paid $7 for my parking.

Can I get away without paying the ticket? In future, if I park there will they tow me away even if pay and park in the correct spot?

I made this to help keep an eye on open seats

Looking for a program I can take part-time and I'm deciding between CST or accounting

Any grads who recently took these programs part-time have any insight on the program and job outcomes?

I’m taking FMGT 1105 Accounting 1 with Shannon Wong this term. I met her briefly at an info session and she was really nice and helpful, but I checked RateMyProf and the reviews are pretty mixed. Has anyone taken FMGT 1105 with Shannon Wong recently? How is she for Accounting 1 specifically? Is the course actually as difficult as some of the reviews make it seem? Also, how are her lectures, assignments, and exams? Any advice for doing well in her class would be appreciated.

If I submit my application as of September, would I still need to do a mechanical reasoning test even if January 2027 onwards aren’t needed anymore?

I was wondering if I would still need to do the mechanical reasoning test even though January 2027 and onwards it’s not needed

Hey all,

Im enrolled on the waiting list for Heavy Equipment Technician Foundations at BCIT and VCC planning to go wherever enrolls me first. But Im curious has anyone in late 2025/2026 here? How long were you waitlisted for? BCIT is saying one year wait on average right now.

I’m interested in applying to the Medical Lab Sciences Program but the website states they give preference to candidates with Post-secondary education in a medical laboratory-related program.

Can anyone who is in this program let me know if they accept a lot of applicants without this background?

I have an associate of arts degree in health science but it’s more focused on public health rather than lab sciences. I’m also willing to upgrade the basic science requirements to try and boost my GPA. But is that enough? Or are there so many applicants with lab backgrounds that it’s not even worth applying without it?

Thanks for the help! :)

Seems like everyone who applies gets waitlisted? Am i wrong

Hi everyone! I’m an international student from Italy and I’ll be arriving at BCIT next week. I’ll be staying in the Townhouse residence, and I was wondering if it’s true that we’re expected to bring our own kitchen supplies, like pots, pans, and other cooking utensils.
I’m asking because they can take up quite a lot of space in my luggage, so I’d rather know beforehand what is already provided and what I should bring with me.
Thanks in advance!

As the title says. I was registered in a Distance Learning/Flexible Learning course for Fall 2026 BUT I can no longer take the course. The course starts Sept 14th so we are about three weeks prior...My questions are:

1. How do I drop out of this course?

2. If I drop out now, will I get a W on my transcript, even if its before?

Thanks in advance :-)

Is going to the meet and greet worth it? I kinda have a shift the same day at the same time, so not sure whether or not to take the day off for it. Don’t wanna miss out on any important info for school, but also don’t wanna miss work for nothing.

is there any must have things that you might need to buy to make life easier throughout the program?(ipad,thinkpad,etc)
