Learners need a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) between 5-8 in all skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) or equivalent, AND a referral from WELARC to participate in EESE courses.
If you do not have a CLB with a referral to EESE, please phone WELARC at 943-5387 to book an appointment. WELARC is located at 275 Portage Avenue on the 4th floor. You must have a CLB with a referral to EESE to register for an EESE course.
Registration must be in person at EESE. If you are accepted into a course you will receive a letter of acceptance by email. You must receive a letter of acceptance for each course that you register for. You need to reply to the email stating either "I accept." or "Please cancel this registration". If you do not respond within 5 days, your application may be cancelled. If you do not have an email address, please inform our staff when you register. We will call you to confirm your acceptance.
Registration for the November 13, 2012 - February 1, 2013 session will begin on October 9, 2012 for new students and October 15, 2012 for current students.

Students learn and practise the social conventions, grammar and vocabulary of speech functions (e.g., making small talk, politely giving opinions and suggestions, interrupting and disagreeing) common in a workplace environment.
