Pacific Language Institute (PLI) Vancouver is the first private BC language training institution accredited through Languages Canada to receive BC's provincial post-secondary Education Quality Assurance (EQA) Designation!

The British Columbia Council for International Education (BCCIE) is very pleased that the Languages Canada accreditation system is a newly recognized means of eligibility for the provincial EQA Designation.  Our office is extremely proud that our provincial EQA Designation is inclusive of all private and public post-secondary institutions and we strongly believe in the equitable value and representation of all institutions and sectors.   

Pacific Language Institute Vancouver has been a significant feature in the BC private education landscape for the last 20 years, and has helped shape both the industry and its accreditation schemes during that time. Located in the heart of the city, just across from Christ Church Cathedral, the Institute delivers English language training and university preparation programmes to international students from over 42 different countries. Its mission has always been to deliver to students the very best in educational quality and to enhance their opportunities for further educational growth with PLI’s public sector partners in BC, or with their career paths through preparation for internationally-recognized examinations.

PLI Managing Director, Neil Harvey said, “We are delighted to be the first Languages Canada member to be designated under the EQA scheme. We believe that this quality brand will help PLI and all of the other excellent educational institutions in BC compete properly in highly competitive international markets. We look forward to working with BCCIE to make this province a true market leader.”
