Coming This Summer: VGC’s Specialty Programs for Cambridge Preparation, International Business and TESL

For over 14 years, VGC has been committed to providing a high quality language training to international students in the heart of downtown Vancouver. With the opening of our brand new campus on Granville Street earlier this year we have taken the next step in expanding our programs and offering excellent service to our students.

As we are getting closer to summer we are now opening the registrations for our new specialty programs for Cambridge Preparation, International Business and TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language). Read on to find out more about VGC’s new programs and sign up now to kick off your career!

Cambridge Preparation Courses – Your Way to a Successful Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE) and Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE)

A Cambridge English certificate will give you the possibility to prove your English language skills to employers, universities or organizations from all over the world. Our Cambridge courses come in two separate levels and will prepare you for either the Lower Advanced (FCE) or the Upper Advanced (CAE) examination. Preparing for those exams will give you the confidence and skills to achieve your goals when taking the Cambridge exam in Vancouver or later on in your home country. These advanced courses will teach you subtle differences in grammar and vocabulary and will provide you with strategies to handle all sections of the test with confidence.

You can find more information about these programs on the Cambridge Preparation Courses site. The courses will be offered from July 4 – August 25 2017. To find out more details regarding pricing, starting dates and course content please contact us directly or send us an E-Mail at [email protected]

International Business Summer Seminar Series – Boost your career with our professional short term seminar courses

If you are looking to pursue further studies in the field of business, enhance your knowledge in a specific area as a working professional or would just like to learn more about business basics and principles these programs will set you on the path to success!

VGC’s Certificate Courses consist of a series of seminars that focus on specific areas of professional interest. All seminars are taught by experienced industry professionals and focus on providing a hands-on learning experience in the classroom. You will interact with fellow students from all over the world and industry professionals sharing their expert knowledge. We offer programs in Entrepreneurship, Marketing through Social Media and Leadership. After successful completion of a two-week program you will receive a certificate to enhance your resume.

Learn more about our short term business programs as well as the start dates on our International Business Summer Seminar site. For pricing and more information about the programs please contact us directly or send us an E-Mail at [email protected]

TESL – Our Teacher Training Programs for teaching English as a Second Language

With the VGC TESL Program (Teaching English As A Second Language), we will get you ready for the adventure of a lifetime and a career you will love. Taking VGC’s TESL Diploma or TESL Certificate in Vancouver will give you the qualifications to work and travel to other countries or stay and teach English in Canada and let the world come to you.

Taking part in this teacher training program will provide you with the pedagogical theory, teaching methodology, strategies and practical approaches to develop the skills and knowledge candidates require to become effective English language teachers. If you are looking for a TESOL Diploma or a TESOL Certificate in Vancouver please note that VGC’s TESL Courses are the same thing. TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) are all the same with the same skill sets taught. The difference in the names relates to where you are teaching.

Find out more about VGC’s TESL Programs and the upcoming start dates on our website. Please contact us directly or send us an E-Mail at [email protected] if you want to learn more about pricing and special promotions.

If you are looking for an educational establishment that is forward thinking, creative and caring then VGC is the place to go. I completed the TESL Diploma and it was an incredible experience. The staff at VGC genuinely care about providing top quality ESL teaching. As a native speaker from the UK I completed the Teaching diploma and I felt that the teachers adapted their methodology to meet my needs. There is a real sense of belonging when you walk into the building and the strong rapport between teachers and students resonates through the constant buzz of learning coming from the classrooms. I wish all staff and students every success for the future. It was an absolute pleasure being part of the VGC family.

VGC gave me really precious and amazing time and experiences. They always try to make students feel comfortable and be ambitious for learning more. All classes that I took are helpful and very practical even after graduating. In addition, apart from the class, VGC's activities were awesome!! Especially, the talent show was the most outstanding and unforgettable one! If you have any talent, you must show yourself at the talent show!!
Anyway, thank you for everything. I LOVE VGC.

I've studied at VGC for about 7 months. It has been an unforgettable experience in my life.VGC is one of the best schools in Vancouver. They offer you a good opportunity to improve your English, and for sure you will be able to gain a great deal of knowledge in your class. After class, VGC provides Study lab where a teacher is available and you can ask questions individually. It was really helpful to me, especially before an exam. Theachers and stuff are amazing. Everyone is so kind!! I will miss them:-( And, of course, activities the school organizes are awesome! It's various and all of those are cheaper. I highly recommend VGC!!!!!!!
