About the Program

What is the Business Communication Certificate?

The Business Communication program enhances students' communication skills in a business environment. Two intensive courses help students upgrade their business writing skills along with their presentation and public speaking skills — both essential to succeed in today's complex business environment.

It also serves as a bridging option for students whose English needs to reach the level required for entry into MCC's diploma programs.
