Program Requirements

This award-winning part-time certificate program has been designed to enable students to master English oral and written linguistic and communication skills necessary to function effectively in a professional anglophone environment.

The program is the equivalent of one year of full-time university studies, requires the completion of ten 3-credit courses, and starts at the low-intermediate level (courses CEEN 211 and CEEN 212). Students with a basic or an elementary knowledge of English will need to complete non-credit prerequisite courses before entering the program. The overall program structure is divided into two modules:

1) The Non-Credit Module comprises three prerequisite courses (one at the basic level and two at the elementary level) of 60 hours each.

2) The Credit Module consists of ten 3-credit courses of 39 hours each. It includes courses at the 200, 300, and 400 levels.

The program is offered three times a year: in Fall and Winter for a period of 12 weeks (Non-Credit Module) and 13 weeks (Credit Module), and in Spring for a period of nine weeks. Courses are offered during the evening and on Saturday mornings.

Every student registered in a credit or non-credit course has exclusive access to online pedagogical material and other resources through the myCourses platform. This allows students to participate in virtual projects and/or reinforce their language training on an individual basis and at their own pace. The communication tools integrated in myCourses further consolidate the individual pedagogical support offered by the lecturer.

The program leads, under certain conditions, to the Certificate of Proficiency - English for Professional Communication. See School of Continuing Studies > Areas of Study > Languages > English Language Programs > Certificate of Proficiency - English for Professional Communication Overview > Certificate of Proficiency – English for Professional Communication: Academic Regulations.
The level of this certificate corresponds to the Advanced Level recognized by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
