Certificate I in EAL (Access)
Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)This nationally recognised qualification is fee free for eligible Tasmania residents and is designed for people from a language background other than English who have a post-beginner level of English.

Your learning will be based around ‘settlement themes’ to help you gain an understanding about things like Australia’s health system, housing, news/current affairs, numeracy, the Australian community and how to be work ready.
In this course you will undertake different types of activities including role plays, class discussions and listening to guest speakers, as well as using audio-visual resources (iPads, DVDs, CDs, etc.), technology and some games to practice your English.
