For nearly
30 years, NorQuest College has been a leader in English language
training. We have developed the curriculum, resources, and
skills to provide top-quality ESL instruction. Our talented
and highly qualified instructors bring a wide range of expertise
to the classroom.
More than 500 students study English as
a second language (ESL) at NorQuest College, making this the
largest ESL school in Edmonton. Our students represent nationalities
and cultures from every part of the world. We offer a variety
of excellent English programs and courses to meet our students’
diverse needs. Canadian Language Benchmarks are an integral
part of our programs.
Our two comprehensive programs are ESL
Intensive and LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to
Canada). ESL Bridge to Business Careers is an intensive program
that prepares students for post-secondary business training.
Other programs provide direct access to employment. These
include Transitions to Trades and Apprenticeship, Transitions
to Technical and Engineering Careers, and the new Practical
Nurse Diploma for Internationally Educated Nurses. A variety
of part-time courses such as TOEFL iBT Prep, Speaking Clearly,
and Writing Clearly are also available to help you prepare

LINC classes are held at the Westmount
Campus, which is only 10 minutes from downtown Edmonton and
has excellent transit service. ESL Intensive, other programs,
and part-time classes are held at NorQuest College’s
Downtown Campus.
