English as an Additional Language

Learn with a leader in ESL education. VCC’s English as an Additional Language (EAL) department offers programs and courses for a variety of English language levels and education needs:

  • ESL Pathways (Canadian Language Benchmark levels 5-9)
  • English for academic purposes (first-year university English)
  • English language skills while training in Baking and pastry arts, Culinary arts, or Health Care.

Attend an information session and you will learn about how to assess your language level, how to apply and register, what you can study after you improve your English, and how to apply for student loans if you are low income. Please bring a language assessment test or course results if you have them.
