Academic Admission Requirement

ANAD was developed for a specific audience, those who have prior education or experience and connections in this related field.

This program is aimed at mature students with other post-secondary education, and work experience looking to validate their knowledge, or those with connections to potential employers.

Students without related network experience or higher-level technical education are not candidates for Network Administrator roles.

ANAD is not designed for those students just out of high school with no other education or work experience, those students should consider completing a Diploma or Degree from BCIT in order to be well-positioned in the job market.

Note: This program is not designed to be completed in a Full-time delivery as each course has prerequisites and PTS scheduling varies from term to term. Depending on program start dates most students cannot complete ANAD in less than 4 terms due to prerequisites and the scheduling of part-time courses.
