Program overview
A one year graduate certificate in on air and digital broadcasting, covering presenting technique, voice work, digital content production, podcasting and a broadcast portfolio, with applied practice running through the programme.
Broadcasting sits outside the six sectors as a subject, yet Conestoga records it under a radio and television code that appears on the aligned list.
Graduate Certificate in Broadcasting Performance and Digital Media is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. The broadcasting performance certificate sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Conestoga records the broadcasting performance certificate under CIP 09.0702 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to one year. IRCC alone decides, so verify 09.0702 against the current eligible list before paying for the broadcasting performance certificate. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the broadcasting performance certificate can support a study permit.
Applicants to Graduate Certificate in Broadcasting Performance and Digital Media need a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the broadcasting performance certificate is recorded at CAD 15,844. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the broadcasting performance certificate. The broadcasting performance certificate lists four entry windows across the three annual starts. Apply Study Visa manages your the broadcasting performance certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.

- Application and deposit: Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.

- Work rights: Conestoga lists the broadcasting performance certificate as PGWP-aligned under CIP 09.0702, supporting a work permit of up to one year. Verify the code against the IRCC list before paying. A PGWP also requires a language test at CLB 5 in all four abilities for college credentials, taken within two years of applying. This is separate from the English test you need for admission. No dependant work permit.
