Overview

Global College teaches English on West Pender Street in downtown Vancouver. Its Power Speaking Training programme suits learners who want to focus on oral communication. The college also lists specialised options including IELTS preparation and Business English. Check the intended course and intake before arranging housing. Power Speaking Training is the central option for learners who want to spend more of class developing oral English. The college distinguishes the full-time format from its morning part-time schedule. The shorter format may fit students with other commitments, while the full-time option gives more guided class time. IELTS preparation and Business English have different purposes and should be checked individually. The school publishes a start-date calendar and uses an entrance test, so obtain the date and programme name before arranging a room for a short stay downtown. Check the admissions calendar for the relevant Vancouver start date.

Courses

Power Speaking Training is the school’s speaking-focused ESL programme, listed at 22.5 hours per week full time or 15 hours in the morning part-time option. The admissions page publishes a separate start-date calendar and links to its entrance test. Check the full-time schedule, classroom hours and placement level with the school. IELTS, Business English and part-time courses have separate conditions. The difference between the published full-time and part-time schedules is 7.5 teaching hours each week. Confirm that the offer lists the full-time course if using the fee example.

Fees

The 2026 tariff lists CAD 1,600 for four weeks of full-time Power Speaking Training, CAD 150 non-refundable registration and CAD 100 materials. Adding CAD 1,400 for four billed weeks of an adult single homestay with three meals daily and CAD 250 placement gives CAD 3,500 before insurance or extra nights. The school defines one homestay week as six nights and seven days and lists CAD 60 per extra day for the adult room. Ask how a continuous 28-night booking is billed. Insurance is listed at CAD 1.80 per day and airport transfer at CAD 150 each way. The study subtotal is CAD 1,850 before accommodation. Placement and four billed weeks of rent account for another CAD 1,650. If you buy the listed insurance for exactly 28 days, add CAD 50.40. A return journey booked as two airport transfers would add CAD 300. These examples do not resolve how weekends are billed between consecutive housing weeks. Ask the school to state the number of included nights and any extra-day charge before accepting a quote for 28 nights.

Accommodation

The college’s housing policy describes host placements coordinated by the school and three meals daily. Request the room type, commute, check-in and check-out dates, and dietary arrangements. Confirm how the published weekly price applies to a continuous stay. The 28-night charge depends on the approved dates and any extra nights. A family stay with three meals is different from a room-only arrangement. Ask whether the school can confirm the address before arrival, who else shares the home and what bathroom or laundry access is included. Check whether meal arrangements change on the arrival and departure days or if you have dietary requirements.
