My BCIT: CST Journey

Likes:
One of the best technical universities in the Lower mainland. Said to have guaranteed job placements for the competitive courses they offer, one being the Computer Systems Technology course.

Average Fees: CAD 22,000/ Year

Course Curriculum

The best thing about BCIT is that, since they're not a university, they can skip out on the elective courses and let you only focus on courses that are relevant to your field. But it is an intensive diploma that I am doing so, so far I've completed 9 courses in the span of my first semester, being from January to the end of May (we have an extra month of classes compared to all other schools).
