We would like to help you develop your English skills and to give you a chance to learn more about Canada.
Since 1982, the Intensive English Language Program at Brock University has offered English courses to students from all over the world. Some students wish to improve their English skills in order to advance their studies in their own countries or for future employment. Others work to increase their language proficiency before applying for acceptance to North American universities. Students who meet academic requirements and who complete the final level of the IELP can be accepted at Brock University without submitting a TOEFL score.

Customized English Language Program (CELP)
The Customized English Language Program (CELP) can be designed for a wide variety of groups and purposes. The CELP offered by ESL Services can be tailored in terms of length and purpose to specific group needs such ESL/IT, ESL/Teacher Upgrading, ESL for Flight Attendants, etc, or the CELP can focus exclusively on ESL. As well, the CELP can be incorporated into existing programs such as the internationally recognized 5-week Summer ESL Program, Explore and the Summer English Language Program (SELP).
CELP Flexibility
Along with flexibility in terms of duration and time of year, the CELP also offer group organizers flexibility in the number in each group. From groups as small as 15 up to groups as large as 150, the CELP is a popular option for group organizers who wish to bring their clients to a well recognized, professionally run short or long-term intensive ESL.
Admission
Admission to the CELP is normally through a group coordinator, such as a University administrator, educational agent, or travel agent.
