Apple's GE Program teaches you how to function well in an English speaking environment and how to be confident and successful in the areas of life that matter – professional and personal;

  • Developing professional and personal relationships – job interviews, formal and informal presentations, giving and understanding opinions, meeting and chatting with new people
  • Understanding and creating documents – letters, proposals, emails, advertisements, schedules
  • Learning about Australia – learn all about this beautiful country, its people and places to go

You will be assessed throughout the course on your listening, speaking, reading and writing skills and your understanding and use of grammar and vocabulary. Formal assessment is conducted at the end of every five weeks. A progress report is provided to you every five weeks to help both you and your teachers in monitoring your course progress.
