Full-time English Language Programs
The English as a Second Language Certificate is a five level program focusing on communication and academic study skills. Students in the ESL program study the reading, writing, listening, speaking and advanced grammar skills required in an academic setting. Upper level students will use computers for written assignments. Classes are held Monday to Friday, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm (20 hours per week) for 14 weeks. Students will complete homework outside of class time.
Many RDC Certificate and Diploma programs accept students who have successfully completed this program. Please check the RDC Calendar for all program entrance requirements.
