Courses

General English (ELICOS) is available at five levels, from Elementary to Advanced, so you will find a class that meets your needs and allows you to progress at your own pace. You will gain comprehensive English training which focuses on reading, writing, speaking and listening and includes some IELTS test preparation.

Students develop English skills through various learning methods:

  • classroom teaching and participation
  • online learning materials
  • private study and group work
  • use of the Independent Learning Centre
  • participating in excursions
  • homework and projects.

Students will also learn a range of study skills which will assist them to prepare for further studies.

Once students complete their English language course, an English and study skills program is offered to all students undertaking vocational courses. The support provided includes individual support, group classes and online resources.

All students are welcome to enrol in General English, including those on tourist visas or business visas who may only wish to study for five or 10 weeks. Other students may wish to study English for a longer period of up to 40 weeks or longer. Chisholm students choose from over 90 courses. Thousands of them began their journey at the Chisholm English Language Centre.
