Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Genuinely worthwhile"
I've grown so much academically and personally here. The best part: the cohort are bright and motivated, which makes the learning environment great. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city — winters are harder than you think but the spring-summer payoff is worth it. Overall, if you're considering Plain Language Certificate at Simon Fraser University, I'd say go for it.
