As well as language skills, you’ll also develop the terminology, study skills, and critical thinking required to be successful at further academic study.
Successful completion of this course will give you direct entry into any TAFE Queensland certificate or diploma course with an English language entry requirement equivalent to academic IELTS 5.5. That means you’ll meet the English language entry requirements without needing to sit the IELTS test.
