The Certificate of Achievement in English for Multilingual Students—Level 3: Advanced Academic Written Communication Skills prepares English Language learners (ELLs) for the academic rigor of transfer-level English coursework. This 10-unit certificate consists of two out of three sequential courses: Academic Reading and Writing I (ENGM V01R) or Academic Reading and Writing II (ENGM V02R) , and Academic Reading and Writing III (ENGM V03R), typically completed over two semesters. Through this sequence, students develop advanced post-secondary academic reading and writing skills essential for college success.

The certificate provides a solid foundation for college courses requiring extensive reading and writing while promoting personal growth. These advanced writing skills are also valuable assets for professional communication across many career fields. Students can refer to the ESL Guided Self-Placement and work with an academic counselor before beginning the certificate program.
