@Jimmy McGill My bad I meant a bachelor's degree, wasn't thinking and wrote masters. I'm looking towards a bachelor's in Accounting but i'm not sure whether I should take the associate certificate course (computerized accounting) or the cert course (Professional accounting). The cert course has a higher work load and it's more expensive but i'm willing to do it if it will set me up to excel in my diploma course and eventually my bachelors course. 

@Squamfan I taught a medical quality systems and a regulatory affairs course. I can feel your excitement. 

@-Stammer- oh i see. BCIT does offer the 4 year bachelors once you have a 2 year diploma. So both of the one year certs would probably offer courses that counted towards your diploma but you'd have to set up a call with them to find out which one gave you the most credits towards the diploma. BCIT is very good at this kind of thing but the exact specifics but they typically try to ladder in everything you've done to the BA. I'd fire off an email to  these folks: https://www.bcit.ca/study/programs/8630bacc#contacts

basically the system is set up as certificate leads to diploma leads to bachelors 

@-Stammer-  heh, you know I'm old when I didn't realize BCIT offers bachelors.  Way back in my time (heh, starting to sound like my dad!), they only offered two year diplomas (I think).  Sorry for the confusion (heh, I'm old....not Alflives old, but old).
