Skills for Learning
“Every day I use English which I learned in this class. It has helped me speaking with friends and in discover[ing] new information on internet.”
- Student
“[All the students] made incredible progress in all areas of their English–vocabulary, grammar, speaking and listening. But most of all, many of them stepped out of their shells, to become more confident and more willing to speak with others.”

Payment Options
You can pay using a credit or debit card, cash or by e-transfer. Sorry, no cheques accepted. Payment is due upon registration. If a student withdraws from a course in the first week they will be issued a full refund.
Financial Assistance
Some employers help you pay for English classes. We also accept the Banff Access Card, the Canmore Affordable Services Card and the Lake Louise ID9 Access Card. Your access card must be presented when you register for class and can only be used if your employer is not paying a portion of the course fee.
Class Cancellations
Schedule changes and class cancellations are sometimes unavoidable. If we postpone or reschedule a class we will make every effort to notify registrants.
Courses with insufficient enrolment are cancelled one week prior to the course start date, unless otherwise stated. Refunds will be issued for class cancellations.
