Program details

Overview

Coursework runs from basic English language skills through to more advanced levels, building toward further study at college or university, career-focused programmes, and professional communication within the Canadian workplace. Students can progress more quickly by pairing Level 2 coursework together with other college courses in the same term.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: This certificate sets no fixed entry grade. All applicants complete Camosun's ESL/ELD Assessment to establish their level, unless they can show evidence of BC Grade 11 or 12 English, a Canadian Language Benchmarks Placement Test result from the last two years, IELTS Academic from the last two years, TOEFL iBT from the last two years, or an ESL course completed at another BC college, any of which can substitute for the in-house assessment; the college does not publish a minimum IELTS or TOEFL score for this route, only that the result must be recent. Where a letter grade or course level is specified, applicants must hold proof of that grade or higher. The certificate runs four intakes a year: September, January, March and May.

Application Details

Start Date: September, January, March and May
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC for Camosun's open-enrolment programmes: for Fall 2027 (September) applications open 1 October 2026 with an early deadline of 15 May 2027 for priority registration and a late deadline of 26 August 2027; Winter 2027 (January) runs 15 September 2026 to 7 January 2027, and Summer 2027 (May) 15 January 2027 to 29 April 2027. Limited-enrolment programmes publish only an opening date and can close once the waitlist exceeds the seats on offer. International applicants must submit a complete application by 1 June (Fall), 1 October (Winter) or 1 February (Summer), though later applications are still reviewed while seats remain, making admission effectively rolling for both groups once the early deadlines pass. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
