This course has an entry requirement of Upper-Intermediate level proficiency in English and aims to prepare students for tertiary studies in Australia at diploma, undergraduate or postgraduate level.
The EABP course is also a very effective means of upgrading English language proficiency for business purposes as it includes business studies.
Students undergo a highly intensive program of study, which includes: Academic Writing, Presentation and Seminar Skills, Note-taking, Library and Research Skills, Study Skills and Computer Competency. The program also prepares students for the international tests – IELTS, TOEIC, FCE or TOEFL – the English language examinations required for entry to university and to TAFE.
To be effective an EAP course requires a highly skilled, competent and experienced teacher and AICOL offers this advantage through the dedication of its teachers such as Janice King, who has been with AICOL for over a decade, and whose enthusiasm and intelligence is renowned. Many of her students go on to achieve very high IELTS and other test results, and often return to AICOL years later to express their gratitude.
