What is the application process?

There are two steps:

How much does it cost?

MergeBC charges a small administration fee per course ($10 - $25 per student). Due to the wide array of computing devices available and varying IT requirements for persons in all situations, MergeBC currently requires the student to bring their own computing device that meets the following specifications:

If students do not have a computing device a Chromebook is recommended that is no more than 3 years old. If you are planning to take further courses in Computer Programming and Application development you should reach out to a MergeBC instructor.

Student Responsibilities

That depends on the course, for 'Computer Applications' and 'Business Communication' courses, no previous technology or computer experience is required. MergeBC does plan to offer other beginner, intermediate and expert level computer courses which will require some previous knowledge depending on the course. Your application will be analyzed and you'll be given feedback on your suitability for a course.
