SPRING

FALL

Buds and blossoms start appearing on Vancouver trees as early as February. Meanwhile on the mountains, the ski season often lasts until well into April. Vancouver has the earliest growing season in Canada, but spring is often still rainy and cool, so make sure to keep your warm clothes and umbrella handy this time of year.

Vancouver often stays sunny and comfortable well into October, although temperatures do start to cool off, so when September hits, you can put your bathing suit away. In mid-late October, expect Vancouver’s famous rains to start feeding our lush and beautiful rainforests. Make sure you have warm clothes to bundle up, and don’t forget your umbrella!

SUMMER In summer, students can enjoy lounging on Vancouver’s many beaches, try stand-up paddleboarding in English Bay (the latest Vancouver craze), check out the Fireworks Competition, hike the local mountains or enjoy the city’s many free summer festivals, Canada Day celebrations, and more.

In Toronto’s spring, the flowers start to bloom and temperatures start to warm up, although the weather can still be unpredictable, so be prepared with warm layers. If you want to stay indoors, spring is a good time to go shopping in Toronto’s PATH, an underground shopping complex with around 1,200 stores. It’s also a great time to take in some culture by visiting the many art galleries and museums around the city, or catching a film at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. For sports fans, the Toronto Blue Jays start their season in April, so make sure to catch a baseball game.

In Fall, temperatures in Toronto start to hit a more comfortable level before the snow starts in November or December. Enjoy a walk in the city’s outdoors and take in the amazing fall colours, or catch an international film, and spot some of your favourite movie stars at TIFF, the Toronto International Film Festival that takes place in mid-September. Weather in the fall can be a little bit unpredictable, so come prepared with some warm layers.

SUMMER Summer in Toronto is hot! It’s the perfect time to enjoy the beach, try paddling a voyageur canoe, or head to the water park at Canada’s Wonderland to stay cool. Summer is also a good time to explore some of Ontario’s incredible outdoor landscapes like Algonquin Park or Niagara Falls. In the city, there are street festivals, celebrations and outdoor concerts that go late into the night. Don’t miss the Toronto Jazz Festival in June, and Caribana in July, a week-long celebration of Caribbean culture with non-stop music and dancing.

If you’re passionate about the arts, film, food and fashion, you’ll fall in love with the city as soon as you arrive.

SPRING

FALL

Spring brings warmer temperatures and the city is in bloom by April. Spring is still a great time to ski, snowboard or toboggan, though, because the snow will stay on the mountains until well into April and sometimes even as late as May! March to April is also the high season for visiting a “cabane a sucre” or Sugar Shack. Discover how maple syrup is made and enjoy traditional Québécois food, music and dance. In late March, get a taste of this chic city’s “haute couture” at Montréal fashion week—for students studying French, this is the perfect time to sign up for ILSC’s “Le français par la mode et le design” class (French through Fashion and Design).

Spring starts off cold, and warms up quickly, so be prepared for any kind of weather.

In fall, the city comes alive with colour as the foliage changes from green to stunning yellow, gold and red.

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy a leisurely walk, or a bike ride through the city’s parks and local markets.

Dip into the potent night life of Montréal’s café society, clubs, theatres and music venues that fill the vibrant downtown streets. In October, hockey season starts, so make sure to catch a Montréal Canadiens game—Quebecers are passionate about their NHL team whose popular nickname, “the Habs” is short for “Les Habitants,” the French settlers who originally farmed the land along the St. Lawrence River.

From September to October, temperatures are still comfortable, but from November to December, you’ll definitely need a few warm layers.

SUMMER

WINTER

Summer is full of music, film, arts, cultural and sports festivals. Enjoy the island heat in Parc Jean-Drapeau, explore the Lachine Canal on bicycle or hike in the Laurentians. In late June to early July, the famous Festival International de Jazz de Montréal enlivens the city with performances by amazing musicians from around the world, and many of the music events are free! Then in July, check out the Circus Arts Festival—the famous Cirque du Soleil was started in Montréal, so this festival is sure to amaze and astound. The city’s balmy comfortable summer temperatures are best enjoyed outdoors, and Montréal offers everything under the sun to keep you occupied in your free time.

Winter offers endless choices for outdoor activities, from snowboarding at Mont Tremblant to snowshoeing, tobogganing or even dog-sledding at Parc Jean-Drapeau during the Fete des neiges de Montréal (Festival of Snow). Lace up your skates and glide around with friends at Beaver Pond on Mount Royal, or indoors at the Atrium. If you want to warm up inside, do some shopping in Montréal’s vast underground pedestrian network of department stores and shopping centres. Of course, Montréal’s energetic nightlife can be enjoyed any time of the year. Bring warm clothes and be prepared for the cold, but don’t let it dampen your spirits, Montréal stays lively no matter what the season!

In the fall, you can still enjoy many outdoor festivals and activities. Students can go for a stroll around Fisherman’s Wharf, or take a tour of famous Alcatraz. Put your scariest face on for Halloween and Day of the Dead festivals in October.

SUMMER

In summer, San Francisco’s famous fog rolls in, making the mornings a little hazy, but by midday the fog burns off, opening up clear blue sunny skies. Summer in eclectic San Francisco is abuzz with culture, and students can take in a myriad of music, crafts and art at the many street festivals that take place throughout the city, and the best part is that most of them are free! Summer is also a great time to explore some of the national parks outside the city. Hike the redwood forests of Muir Woods, or take a weekend trip to California wine country. Of course, there’s always the beach, and students can relax with friends on shore, or take a surf lesson and catch a wave.

San Francisco is famous for its year-round mild weather, and in general, you can enjoy most activities any time. However, winter does offer a few extra goodies. Students can escape up to famous Lake Tahoe to enjoy snow sports like tobogganing, snowboarding or skiing. For basketball fans, this is definitely a good season to check out the Golden State Warriors on the court. Make sure to check out the Chinese New Year celebrations—San Francisco has the largest Chinatown outside of Asia so it's sure to be big!

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) RPL is the acknowledgement of a student's previous education and skills, if they are considered relevant to the current course of study. The RPL process is available to all students, and ILSC Business College, and ILSC TESOL College recognise the AQF Qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by other registered training organisations.

Applications for RPL must be submitted either before you enrol or during the first term of study. Applications for RPL will only be accepted if:

If you change courses, your RPL will be reviewed to ensure that it is still appropriate. Students who are on a student visa are still required to attend class for 20 hours per week, as per the conditions of the visa.

ASSESSMENT You will be assessed at the end of each unit of your program and given feedback on your progress to make sure you stay on track with your educational goals. Assessment tasks require you to demonstrate that the learning objectives have been achieved. Assessment may include: • written assignments • essays and reports • practical exercises and demonstrations in the classroom • student oral presentations, creative projects • classroom contributions • progress tests and examinations • research studies and projects • multiple choice and short answer tests • student-maintained portfolios of notes • problem-solving exercises
