Entrance Requirements

Note: This program is under review and not accepting applications until further notice. For more information, please contact cstflex@bcit.ca. Please review the Web and Mobile Application Development Associate Certificate for similar learning outcomes, depending on the electives chosen.

Prerequisites

Advanced Java Development is a second-level credential that is built on top of our Applied Software Development, ASD Associate Certificate. This program is aimed at those who are already software developers with previous education and work experience.

Before declaring your intent to complete this program, you must meet the following prerequisites:

  • Applied Software Development (ASD) (or detailed proof of equivalent formal education) completed within the last five years.
  • Completion of the following courses (or equivalents) within the last five years:
    • COMP 1850 – Introduction to Web Development
    • COMP 2132 – Web Development with JavaScript
    • COMP 2831 – Business Analysis and Systems Design
    • COMP 3601 – Application Development with Java

Please email cstflex@bcit.ca to discuss your prior education before submitting transcripts or course outlines.

Each course has specific prerequisites that must be completed prior to starting this program.

Students who have not completed the prerequisites or who do not have equivalent post-secondary education to ASD will not be approved into the AJD program before completing all missing bridging courses.

Credit Overlap:

These three (3) advanced software development programs were designed for students not moving on to the CST Diploma. Program approval will only be granted for one (1) of these programs due to credit overlap.

Associate Certificates require a minimum of 25% unique credits. It is not possible to earn multiple BCIT credentials using all the same credits in each program.

Important Notice: Computing Flexible Learning is a course-by-course registration and was not designed for students on limited timelines.
