Hello, this is NohProblem Consulting.
If you are considering enrolling in a Data Analysis co-op program in Vancouver, there are some important updates to keep in mind regarding admissions and English proficiency requirements.
Starting January 1, 2025, all private colleges in Vancouver, including Greystone College, will no longer accept in-house exams for admission. This change, as mandated by the PTIB (Private Training Institutions Branch), means that only official English proficiency test scores (such as IELTS or TOEFL) will be accepted for admission to co-op programs like Data Analysis.
For students who wish to avoid submitting official test scores, there is still an opportunity to apply using the school’s in-house test. However, this option is only available for students who plan to start the program in 2024. To qualify, you must take the Academic PROLA Test by November 30, 2024, and achieve the required I3 English level, which is the standard for the Data Analysis co-op program.
In addition to passing the test, students will need to complete their registration and sign the Student Contact form from Greystone Vancouver by the same deadline, November 30, 2024. Failure to complete these steps before the deadline will mean that starting in 2025, you will need to submit official English test scores for admission.
