The non-credit Certificate of Proficiency in Written English – Workplace Communication is designed to offer an intense training in written English as a Second/Foreign Language, from the mid-intermediate to the advanced level. For each level, the program includes specific language objectives, various forms of writing commonly used in the workplace, and strategies.

Many students studying English as a Second Language succeed in reaching an adequate level of oral fluency. However, they experience some difficulty in developing solid written communication skills which require more time and effort. This imbalance in language acquisition is a handicap in the workplace, where effective writing is a critical aspect of success for both employees and employers. With the rise of globalization, telecommuting and digital communications, good writing skills have indeed become vital in the modern workplace.

All courses in this program are offered in an online learning format.
