Our English for Academic Purposes courses are offered at two levels: EAP1 and EAP2. Learners must be able to demonstrate an intermediate to upper intermediate level of English comprehension at course commencement, that is, demonstrate having achieved or approaching IELTS level 4.5 or greater. The appropriate commencement level for students will be determined by a free Placement Test administered by EEVI during enrolment.

(A placement test will be applied for the allocation of different streams)

The duration of each level of the EAP course is 10 weeks with 20 hours per week class face-to-face delivery hours. Total delivery hour of each EAP course is 200 hours.

The class size: Elite maintain teacher-to-student ratios do not exceed 1:18 per class.

All students are tested on orientation day so that they can be placed in the correct class for their current level of English. You will be required to take reading, grammar, writing, and listening tests and to have a one to one interview with a teacher to see how well you can speak. Once your test results have been calculated you will be allocated to a class to begin your course.
