Proficiency in Academic College English (Certificate)

The Academic College English Program (ACE) is designed to improve your speaking, listening and writing skills to prepare you for college- and university-level classes.

If you are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or refugee the program is tuition-free.

In addition to helping you improve your English as a second language (ESL), the program focuses on developing research and critical thinking skills vital to post-secondary success. Once you successfully complete three of the four Level 3 classes, you will meet the English language proficiency requirements for courses at Douglas College. Our ACE program is offered both full- and part-time for those with busy schedules.
