Certificate in English

About this course

The Certificate in English is a four-month programme in the BCAS Access programme, written for beginners who need a base in English for academic and professional study. It is listed under the Language and Education faculty as Pearson Assured, with certificates awarded by BCAS Campus and Pearson, UK. The content is organised around four skill areas: writing, speaking, listening and reading. The page gives no unit-by-unit syllabus. Classes are offered on weekdays or weekends, fully on campus, at the Colombo campus only. The certificate can be taken alongside Access Fundamentals in IT or Access Fundamentals in Business as a dual qualification. BCAS lists two onward routes: the BCAS Diploma in English, or a stronger English base before moving to the Foundation in Business and Information Technology and HND programmes.
