Pirurvik’s current program pages say applications for its 2027–28 Inuktut Instructor Diploma, professional Inuktut language-enhancement certificate and Inuktut second-language certificate will open in January 2027.

The notice gives prospective Inuktut learners and future instructors an early timeline for three longer training programs. Qimattuvik is for Inuit who are functional Inuktut speakers, while Aurniarvik is an eight-month full-time program for Inuit who are not functional speakers. Pirurvik says Aqqusiurvik trains Inuktut instructors and includes 21 courses across two sessions. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗ ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗ ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗

Prospective applicants should monitor Pirurvik’s program pages in January 2027. The institute has not published the exact application-opening day, closing date, intake size, course schedule, fees or detailed eligibility requirements for the next Aqqusiurvik intake.

Qimattuvik is open to Inuit who are functional speakers of Inuktut; Pirurvik says financial assistance may be available for people not sponsored by an employer. Aurniarvik is aimed at Inuit who grew up speaking English and want to build Inuktut proficiency. Pirurvik says students completing the programs receive credentials connected to the University of Victoria, but readers should confirm current admission and funding details when applications open. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗ ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗
