Proficiency in English Language

The Proficiency in English Language certificate at Sunyani Technical University is designed to strengthen your command of English for academic and professional use. It suits students who want to improve their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills before entering a degree programme or the workplace. The course is offered under the Faculty of Applied Science & Technology in the field of Arts & Humanities.

What this programme covers

Programmes of this kind usually focus on the core language skills: grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, clear and accurate writing, and confident speaking. You can expect practice in listening and pronunciation, as well as academic writing conventions such as structuring paragraphs and referencing. The goal is to move beyond everyday conversational English and reach a level suitable for higher education or professional work.

Where good English can take you

A solid command of English is an advantage in nearly every Ghanaian workplace, and it is essential for most tertiary study. For many SHS leavers, a certificate like this is a stepping stone to a degree programme, because it gives you the language foundation that lecturers expect. In the job market, you might go into teaching, editing, communications, or customer-facing roles, or you could use the skills as a basis for more advanced training in journalism, law, or business.
