ENG2D1 is English. | The fourth character (2 in this example) refers to the grade of the course.1 = grade 9 2 = grade 10 3 = grade 11 4 = grade 12EX. ENG2D1 is a grade 10 course. | The fifth character (D in this example) refers to the type of course.P = applied D = academic O = open L = locally developed C = college M = university / college U = university E = workplaceENG2D1 is an academic course. | The sixth character (1 in this example) is for internal use by the school. |
