Learning Centre Workshops
Workshops are led by Learning Centre instructors, staff, and English Language Learning Specialists. Learning Centre Basics Workshops (start of term) offer study skills and Learning Centre tips to get you started with your semester. Skills for Academic Success workshops offer study strategies at key points during the term. English Language workshops provide practical information and tips for improving your English reading, speaking, and listening in your Douglas College courses.
