Kingston Literacy & Skills (KL&S)

Kingston Literacy & Skills LINC classes run year-round. We offer small classes from Basic (CLB literacy) to Pre-Intermediate (CLB 4) levels. The instructors are all highly qualified, experienced and TESL Ontario certified.

Just give us a call; at that time, KL&S will make sure we’re a good fit for you. If we are, we book an assessment appointment, usually within just a couple of weeks. During the actual assessment, the intake person will ask about your past educational experience, your current life situation and your future goals. We don’t want super-personal information; we just need to know enough to get you started. There will be a bit of testing, but nothing too hard or scary – we promise! If we decide we’re the right fit by the end of the appointment (it’s usually under an hour) we set up a training schedule. At the very first session, we work together to create a learner-centred training plan, focusing on the learner’s SMART goal. This is a goal that is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time- Specific. We explore what the steps will be to achieving your short term goal and if there are any barriers that might need to be worked on to in order to help you reach your full potential. In some cases, we might make referrals to other agencies.
