Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) levels

ELICOS:

Our partner institutes offer a wide range of ELICOS courses designed to meet the varying needs of students with different reasons for learning English. ELICOS courses are accredited by either TEQSA or ASQA as non-award courses outside of the AQF.

There are five major categories of English language courses generally we offer in Australia to international students:

1. General English
2. English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
3. Secondary School Preparation
4. Examination Preparation
5. English for Specific Purposes (ESP)

In addition, some ELICOS partner centres have developed and deliver specific courses to suit the needs of particular clients; for example courses that may concentrate on executive English, corporate ELICOS training or Study Tour Programs (these programs usually combine English language study with other activities e.g. travelling or sporting activities).
