School of Applied Business & Innovation (SABI) – Vancouver, Canada

Established in 2015 and operating as Sabi College, the School of Applied Business & Innovation (SABI) is a premier institution committed to advancing executive education and professional development. Headquartered in Vancouver, we deliver world-class workshops and programs tailored for executives, leaders, and professionals who aim to stay ahead in today’s fast-evolving business environment.


Our curriculum covers Business, Artificial Intelligence, Information Technology, and Management, along with other key disciplines that enable professionals to enhance, expand, and future-proof their expertise in the era of digital transformation and Artificial Intelligence.


Programs are offered in both in-person and online formats, ensuring accessibility to learners worldwide. By collaborating closely with local institutions, industry leaders, and global experts, we provide participants with practical insights and transformative learning experiences that create direct, lasting impact on their organizations and careers.


At the core of our offerings is the Executive Certificate in Business Administration (ECBA), a prestigious credential designed for professionals who want to strengthen their leadership and business acumen while specializing in emerging fields. Each ECBA program combines practical knowledge with executive-level insights, covering areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation, Cybersecurity, and ESG. Participants may pursue a single ECBA to sharpen expertise in their chosen field, or complete all four specializations to earn the Executive Diploma in Digital Leadership & Governance, a pathway that also supports progression to advanced degrees such as the Executive MBA or Executive DBA.

Regulatory Status in British Columbia

In British Columbia, private training institutions are required to register with the Private Training Institutions Regulatory Unit (PTIRU) if they offer at least one career-related program consisting of 40 hours or more of instructional time with a tuition fee of $4,000 or higher. For more details, please visit the official PTIRU website: https://www.privatetraininginstitutions.gov.bc.ca/institutions.


The School of Applied Business & Innovation provides both on-campus and online executive workshops, each designed with less than 40 instructional hours and a tuition fee below $4,000. As such, our programs are categorized as continuing training and executive education for professionals.


Therefore, under the laws of British Columbia, the School of Applied Business & Innovation is not required to be registered with PTIRU.
