EAL Intensive

NorQuest pathways

After you finish your EAL Intensive classes, you may be able to take more English language training or apply for Academic Upgrading at NorQuest. 

If you meet the admission requirements, your final Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level might also be used to show English language proficiency (ELP) and help you qualify for other programs at NorQuest College. 

In addition, some English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses are equal to English Language Arts (ELA) courses and can help you meet both the academic admissions and ELP requirements for post-secondary programs at NorQuest or other schools.  

Talk to an advisor to help plan your next steps.

Further education opportunities

Following successful completion of your EAL courses, you may continue on to further English language training, Academic Upgrading, or post-secondary programs at NorQuest or another post-secondary institution (provided you meet program admission requirements).

Some NorQuest College English for Academic Purposes courses are equivalent to English Language Arts courses and are recognized by post-secondary institutions in Alberta. English for Academic Purposes courses may be used for meeting both:

• academic admissions requirements for programs at NorQuest College and other post-secondary institutions
• English language proficiency (ELP) requirements for NorQuest College programs

Equivalencies are noted in course descriptions, and ELP requirements are listed under each program.
