The British Columbia Conservatory of Music (BCCM) is a music school based in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, with an additional studio in Port Coquitlam. The conservatory provides private and group instruction in piano, theory, and other musical disciplines and operates a graded examination system for students of all ages.

BCCM is listed by the Government of British Columbia as an approved external‑credential provider, allowing its examination certificates to count toward secondary‑school graduation credit. ^[1] According to the BC Registered Music Teachers' Association (BCRMTA), BCCM's piano and theory exams are eligible for Grade 10 through Grade 12 Fine Arts credits. ^[2] An independent music school, Dio Piano School, identifies itself as an "official exam centre" for BCCM examinations, demonstrating that BCCM exams are administered beyond its own campuses. ^[3]
