General English

The course runs for up to 60 weeks. Each proficiency level offers 10 weeks of learning organized around themes of language and communication.

All language learners are enrolled according to the outcome of a placement test conducted on campus, to establish the appropriate level of class for them to commence their study so that their individual learning needs can be supported. Applicants must be minimum 18 years of age at the time of commencement. There are no minimum academic requirements.

The program focuses on developing students' speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills for personal, social and study needs. The course also offers study of practical aspects of the language for survival, participation, integration and enjoyment in Australian society and culture.

Students undertaking the course can prepare for further study in Australia including in the Australian VET sector. Students can also enrol in the EAP Program for meeting Higher Education/Tertiary sector English entry requirements.

The course is designed for international students from non-English speaking backgrounds seeking to improve their general English level. Students from a diverse range of non-English speaking backgrounds are interested in coming to Australia to study English for use in a broad range of contexts, including academic pursuits, social facility, and entry into the workforce.
