By the end of the program, students will gain the intermediate-level language skills necessary to communicate in English across a variety of everyday and professional scenarios.

Language Equivalency

Completion of this certificate will allow learners to reach B2 level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which is equivalent to level 8 in the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB). 

Method of Delivery

This program will be offered through both synchronous and asynchronous delivery modes. Learners will meet their instructor weekly for a live 2-hour interactive synchronous session. In addition, learners will also engage in asynchronous learning. 

English Language Placement Test

The placement test was designed to help you informally assess your English language proficiency to gain a better idea of which course to begin your English studies. The placement test focuses on knowledge of basic grammatical structures; it does not evaluate oral and written skills. The placement test contains 50 multiple-choice questions. It is recommended that you take the test without the use of any study aids to obtain a more accurate result. Take the English Placement Test now. To register for this certificate, you should be at English 4 in the placement test.

Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)

Learners with prior learning in the English language as confirmed by the placement test may be eligible for a course credit in recognition of their prior learning. The placement test will indicate the recommended English course that learners should register into. If the placement test recommends that a learner starts the certificate at the second course (ENGE 201), then the learner can apply for a PLAR for the first course. The learner should first register for the recommended course after taking the placement test, then send an email to cplliberalarts@humber.ca to apply for the PLAR. There is a fee of $86 per course associated with the application for PLAR.
