Are you new to Canada? NorQuest College can help you settle in Alberta and Canada. Our program provides many support services to help you learn basic English, understand life in Canada, and build important skills.
NorQuest taught me to think differently and to respect different ideas and perspectives. This was very important for my professional development, but also my personal life. NorQuest taught me what diversity means.
Our full-time and part-time language classes start at basic reading and writing (Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 0) and go up to CLB 8. Our deliveries are flexible, so you can study at your own pace and at a time you want.
