Language Requirements

The language of instruction at Holland College is English. All applicants are required to demonstrate English language proficiency before starting studies at Holland College. English proficiency results must be current.

Are there exemptions?

To waive the language proficiency requirement, you must have graduated from a Canadian high school and completed English 621 in P.E.I. or its equivalent in another province with a minimum grade of 70%.

How can I demonstrate that I meet the English Language Requirements?

You may demonstrate proficiency in one of two ways:

Time spent enrolled in an EAL program does not qualify. This education must have been completed within two years of the start date of the Holland College program to which you are applying.
   
   Please note: proof of bilingualism (English and another language) is acceptable for those educated in Canada in a language other than English. 
   
   
2. Submit an official test score at or above the acceptable minimum from one of the following tests:
