Our Story


Part-time Courses & Intensives at VanArts are an excellent way to introduce yourself to our institute and what we teach.  They provide a basic introduction for learning new skills, helping to decide on a career choice, or as a first step towards studying in our full-time programs.  Part-time courses typically start in January, May and September, and meet once a week in evenings or weekends, and "intensives" are held in the summer months for 2-4 weeks. 

If you are an international student, you must already be living in the Vancouver area on a valid Immigration visa before registering for a part-time course.  If registering from abroad, we recommend our 1-month summer intensives.

To apply online right away for a part-time course or intensive, CLICK HERE  (International students living locally must register as Canadians)
