Which course is right for me?

• I want to learn English for travelling or out of interest.
  You should join the General English (GE) course. You will learn how to communicate effectively in English and build your confidence when speaking with native speakers.
   

• I want to attend a Vocational Education and Training (VET) course at Academia international.
  The Certificate in Spoken and Written English (CSWE) courses have more of a focus on Hairdressing/Hospitality English but both the GE/EAP and CSWE pathways are suitable for your needs.
   

• I want to attend university in Australia.
  The GE/EAP (English for Academic Purposes) pathway is right for you. In EAP you will learn how to cope with many of the issues that International students have when attending university, such as taking effective notes, writing essays, making presentations and doing group-work.
