Nationally Recognised Qualifications

Our courses are accredited

Classes at each level have units of competency, to help you learn different skills in English. For example, you might just want to learn conversational English, or learn to express yourself better at work or write business emails. At your orientation, you will get information about your program.

  • CSWE: AMEP students study Certificates in Spoken and Written English and selected units of the Foundation Skills Training Package (FSK).
  • FSK: SEE program students study the Foundation Skills Training Package.

All Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) clients are enrolled in accredited courses including the Certificates in Spoken and Written English (CSWE). These nationally recognised qualifications help you to learn the skills you need to settle in Australia.

The courses are based on your individual needs, skill levels and interests. They are also matched with your training and employment goals, to help you find work. You can study your CSWE course in class.
