English courses
Improve your academic English with us. Our online English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Programme, which offers a choice of either or both EAP modules: Reading & Writing and Speaking & Language, will help take your English to the next level. Two hours a week per module for a semester.
If you're set to study or work abroad in an English-speaking country that requires IELTS (International English Language Testing System) certification, we can help you prepare for the exam. Enrol for our online IELTS preparation course and develop the strategies to write the IELTS exam.
You could also do a blended learning TEFL course (for teaching English as a foreign language) with us if you plan to travel and teach. Or maybe you want to revamp your teaching style or earn an income from the comfort of your own home.
