English for Academic Purposes
Our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program provides you with the skills you need for success in higher education, work and life in Canada. It combines intensive study with social and cultural activities, as well as fast and efficient progression.
Our multimedia classrooms, dedicated computer lab, TESL-certified teachers and college activities create an ideal environment for you as a non-native speaker of English to practise and improve your English skills in class and online.
Successful completion of levels 7 and 8 will give you direct entry into most postsecondary programs and you’ll earn an Ontario College Certificate.
Georgian College and International Language Academy of Canada (ILAC), one of the most awarded language schools in the world have entered into partnership – the first of its kind for Georgian.
In Dec. 2019, the Ontario government created a new policy, giving public colleges like Georgian, more flexibility to create innovative and entrepreneurial partnerships with private colleges to provide primarily international students with the high-quality education and training that prepares them for Ontario’s workforce.
Georgian@ILAC, as it will be known, will launch with three programs at ILAC’s boutique-style campus located in downtown Toronto. Beginning in Jan. 2021, the initial program offerings will be a Business Diploma program (BUSN), Global Business Management Graduate Certificate GBMT) and Project Management Graduate Certificate (PRJM).
