Most ESL classes in our CCI Program run on an ongoing basis, which is called continuous enrolment.

Continuous enrolment allows you to begin ESL classes immediately, without having to wait for a new class to start on a set date.

If there are available spots in the class you are interested in, you can start the following Monday. However, certain levels of our ESL classes are in high demand and may reach full capacity rapidly. If a particular class is full, it may result in a waiting list for the ESL class you wish to enroll in.

Students must register for a minimum of 4 weeks.

Most ESL classes are 17 weeks. However, some classes may be shorter or longer, depending on the class.

CCI-LEX offers affordable ESL classes for English language learning.
