Fleming College

Peterborough, ON (December 2, 2024) – If learning a new language is near the top of your New Year’s resolution list, Fleming College is here to help. Fleming is expanding its offerings of in-person Continuing Education language courses at its Frost Campus in Lindsay and Sutherland Campus in Peterborough.

Starting in January, both campuses will be offering Conversational French (Level 1 and Level 2, with Level 3 launching in spring), Conversational Spanish (Beginner and Intermediate), American Sign Language (Level 1 – Part A, with Part B arriving in spring), and Conversational Italian (Level 1 and Level 2).

All classes are taught by faculty who are native speakers of the language, ensuring an authentic learning experience. With small, in-person class sizes and a focus on deeply understanding the associated culture, students will be immersed in the language from day one.

The French, Spanish, and Italian courses are focused mainly on building conversational skills, perfect for traveling, communicating with family, or increasing your skills when working with clients or colleagues.

Students who complete both parts of the American Sign Language course will have reached Level 1 proficiency of ASL, as recognized by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).

The courses are scheduled for evenings during the work week, convenient for those balancing professional responsibilities with their continuing education.

Information on all Fleming’s Continuing Education programs can be found here.

Peterborough, ON (November 28, 2024) – Learning happens in many ways, and in many settings – both in and outside of the classroom. Fleming College recognizes this, and offers credits towards graduating for previous academic, work, or life experience.

With FastPass, students can easily check if they are eligible for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR). These are college credits based on prior education, work or volunteer experience, certifications and licenses, traditional or organization learning, and life experience.

“PLAR can kickstart a new student’s program by giving them credits for skills and competencies they’ve earned elsewhere,” says Sherry Gosselin, Executive Vice President, Information Technology at Fleming. “That way it shortens the duration to graduation, can reduce the money they spend, and can get them to the workforce faster.”

In addition to saving students time and money, the FastPass tool can also be helpful in deciding which program is the best fit. By simply uploading a résumé, the FastPass credit predictor can identify which program would match up best towards a diploma.

Once a FastPass administrator has identified the best matches based on the information gathered from a résumé submission, they will get in touch with the results and the opportunities available.

Watch this short video to learn more about FastPass. If you have any questions or would like more information, please email FastPass@flemingcollege.ca.
