What is LINC Home Study?
If you are unable to take LINC classes in person due to illness, disability, conflicting work schedules, or distance, we offer free online English classes through the LINC Home Study program.
LINC Home Study is a free program offered in two parts:
- Complete activities and lessons online every day on the LINC Home Study website. You can log on anytime and work through the online classes.
- Receive a weekly phone/Skype call from your LINC Home Study Instructor. Your instructor will monitor your progress, explain activities, and assign homework. If you have any questions about the lessons, your instructor will help you.
Note: You must be a resident of Calgary to receive LINC Home Study with our organization. If you live in Southern Alberta, please register with Bow Valley College. If you live in Northern Alberta, please register with NorQuest College. If you live outside Alberta, please register with LINC Home Study – Canada.
