ESL Certificates

Comprehensive English courses work on all four skills (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening), at several different English levels. Your entry test scores will help us put you in the right level.

Test Preparation courses will help you prepare for IELTS, TOEFL, CELPIP or other English tests which may be required for colleges, universities or citizenship. These courses build high level language skills.

Special Focus courses let you concentrate on the skills you find the most challenging. Build Writing, Pronunciation, Fluency, Listening or Grammar skills in this program.

Comprehensive English

All LCC students take a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) aligned level test, and can register for ESL courses which match their level. Students must meet the required English level to attend a course.

You can take General English courses from Beginner to Advanced level, and Intensive English courses from Intermediate to Advanced level.

Registrars will recommend ways to reach your goals if your English levels are not yet high enough for your chosen courses.
