Delivered by highly qualified and experienced English language teachers in a small class setting, our General English (GE) course is designed to improve your core skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Students will graduate with the ability to communicate in English with confidence in everyday situations and feel prepared to take on further academic study in New Zealand. If you need some extra English practice before starting your Academic English course, then General English is the right choice for you. Each week you will be expected to participate in 20 hours of classroom instructed study and up to 6.5 hours of self-study including research or projects.

The General English syllabus and course dates have been carefully designed to allow students a smooth transition from English to tertiary studies. With intakes every five weeks, we’ll make sure you’re ready for further study whatever time of the year you need to start your course.
