Program Description

Your studies will focus on presentation technologies required to operate in the competitive world of electronic communication for business and industry and on live event production.
This includes the defining of client needs, pre–production, production, post–production of audio, video and interactive presentations, as well as the fundamentals of staging, location set–up and breakdown for live event presentations and trade shows.
Admission Requirements
Program Eligibility:
- Ontario Secondary School Diploma with a majority of senior credits at the College Preparation (C), University Preparation (U) or University/College Preparation (M) level or Mature Student Status (age 19 or older)

Desirable:
- Basic computer skills, including Windows or Macintosh operating systems, word processing software (preferably Word) and spreadsheet software (preferably Excel).
Applicant Selection:
- In the event of oversubscription, applicant selection may be a two–step process. In Step 1, academic achievement (i.e. grades in pre–requisite subjects and/or scores in English and Reading Comprehension Tests) may be used to select applicants who are eligible for Step 2. The second step will require attendance at an orientation session and the completion of program– related assignments. Applicants who are unsuccessful in Step 1 will be notified by mail, and will not be included in Step 2 of the selection process.
The Importance of Learning Skills:
Student success in college requires well developed learning skills (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well–organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. While it is expected that applicants would have developed these skills through previous education and life experiences, Seneca offers support to assist students with further development of these important skills. Seminars, workshops and tutoring are available at Seneca's Learning Centres.
