Intensive Program
Students can now choose to complete English 1&2, 3&4 or 5&6 in the same semester. This stream will allow students to complete the Professional English as a Second Language certificate in one year rather than two when starting at Level 1.
For students interested in the intensive program, you do not need to register and pay for both classes at the same time - you can register and pay for the second class when it begins.

English Language Placement Test
The placement test was designed to help you informally assess your English language proficiency to gain a better idea of which course to begin your English studies. If you have no previous English language experience, you are welcome to take the test but should register into English 1. The placement test focuses on knowledge of basic grammatical structures - it does not evaluate oral and written skills. The placement test contains 50 multiple choice questions. It is recommended that you take the test without the use of any study aids to obtain a more accurate result. Once the test is completed, your results will be emailed to you.
Choosing your Program
The Everyday English as a Second Language Certificate and Professional English as a Second Language certificates share the same curriculum for Levels 1-3. Focus on professional communication and specialized business vocabulary occurs at levels 4-6.
