Educational Goal

What is your end goal?

I understand that Pacific Rim ECI is a recognized early childhood education training institution in British Columbia (BC) and program completion leads to eligibility for BC Early Childhood Education (ECE) credentials. If I wish to work as a certified/registered ECE in another province or country, it is my responsibility to ensure that BC certifications are accepted where I intend to practice. I must confirm eligibility to practice prior to beginning a BC program of study to ensure I will meet my professional goals.

Have you already completed your Basic ECE Certificate program at another institution?

Because you acquired your basic ECE education elsewhere and intend to acquire your post-basic training with us, we also require the following:

If you do not have a CRC yet, select the box indicating that you would like criminal record check instructions to be sent to your email.

IMPORTANT: If you are requesting a CRC through the Ministry of Justice, it will be sent directly to Pacific Rim. You need to complete the registration process before you order the CRC so your information is on file and the school can contact you when your CRC arrives in the mail.
