All facilities are supervised by expert teachers who are available to give individual attention to students and ensure that their Language Program is as effective as possible.
The overall aim of the program is to prepare students for university studies, and to instil the linguistic, practical, and cultural aspects of the English language. Students who successfully complete EAP at the Academy, and who meet the academic entry requirements, are able to gain direct entry to various Australian Universities.
