General English

RPL is an assessment process that acknowledges the knowledge and skills acquired by a student through previous studies or work experience, even if formal qualifications have not been attained. For students applying for a General English course, RPL can help them gain credit for skills and learning that may reduce the amount of time needed to complete the program.

To apply for RPL, students must provide evidence of their prior learning, which could include: Previous English Language Certifications – Results from other English proficiency tests or language courses; Work Experience – Evidence of using English in a professional environment; and Self-Assessment – SMC may allow students to demonstrate their language abilities through an interview or written test.
