VESL Course Outline
(Vocational English as a Second Language)
VESL (Vocational English as a Second Language) is designed to develop the students overall English and Vocational English, with an added focus on English specific to the HVAC workplace.

This course targets five skilled groups specific to the HVAC workplace. There is some overlap of targeted abilities between the different skill groups. Students enrolled in VESL ideally should have taken the ESL (English as a Second Language) due to the fact that the VESL course begins where the ESL course ends.

Students will not only enhance their HVAC knowledge but their English skills as well. Throughout the course students will develop comprehension skills and knowledge that will allow them to become marketable in the HVAC field.
