NZCEL programmes are designed to help students to “Live the Language.”  You will learn practical and academic English skills, how to communicate with people in a variety of familiar and unfamiliar contexts, work to widen vocabulary knowledge and gain confidence in using English whatever your level.

Students who complete and pass an NZCEL programme will have earned 60 credits on a nationally recognised qualification.  For students who take the academic strand at NZCEL 3 and above, they will have access to mainstream programmes at EIT and some other NZ tertiary providers.  The options open to you will be dependent on your NZCEL level.

You will have access to a language laboratory, library facilities and computer suites to support your learning.  One-to-one tutorials are an integral part of the course in order for you and your tutor to monitor progress.  You can also sign up for further help at the library or with our International Mentor if required.
