Description:Centennial College's Pre-Business program will help you to discover your path in the business world. If you're looking to enter a program within The Business School but may not currently meet the admission requirements, you may apply directly to this business certificate program or it may be offered to you as a recommended alternative.

During the two-semester Pre-Business program, you'll work to build your fundamental business skills while exploring your career and educational options. As such, you'll complete courses in:


  • Communications
  • Mathematics
  • Microsoft Office
  • Canadian and international business practices
  • Strategies for business success
  • Accounting fundamentals




A supportive learning environment in small classes, with additional advising opportunities to learn about potential pathways for future success, will ensure you're prepared for further education.

Upon successful completion of the Pre-Business program, you'll be eligible to transfer, with credits, to a diploma or advanced diploma program within The Business School. Among these programs are Accounting, Marketing, Business, Supply Chain and Operations and International Business. Additionally, you'll be able to take your newly acquired skills to entry-level positions in the workplace.

This course will be synchronous online, meaning classes are delivered during a specific timeslot in the week. You're expected to come together online at the same time each week to engage in your studies. The course will also be asynchronous online, meaning you can access and engage with the course material anytime, anywhere, each week.
