Our Certificate III in EAL (Employment) course is offered in-person.

We believe that language learning is most effective when it’s interactive, allowing for real-time feedback and the opportunity to engage in practical conversations. The in-person learning plan also helps to simulate a real-world environment, which can significantly enhance your confidence and communication skills.

Benefits of in-person learning

Learning in-person can offer several advantages when compared to online learning, particularly when it comes to language acquisition. It’s not just writing skills, understanding written and spoken information and straightforward information; it’s dynamic English language speaking.

Teacher-student interaction

In-person learning promotes rich interaction and communication between learners and teachers. This is critical when studying English as an additional language, as it allows students to immediately practise their new skills in a real-world setting. They can ask questions, participate in group discussions, and gain instant feedback on their speaking and writing, helping them to quickly identify areas for improvement.

Structured learning environment

In-person learning also offers a more structured learning environment, which can benefit many students. While online learning requires a significant level of self-discipline and self-directed learning, in-person classes provide a set schedule and environment that is designed solely for learning. This structure can help students stay motivated and engaged in their studies.

Benefits beyond the classroom

What’s more, the physical classroom encourages social interaction, not just academically, but also on a personal level. Students can build relationships and learn from one another’s experiences and perspectives. This is particularly beneficial for EAL students, as it provides them with additional exposure to the language and its various uses in different contexts.

In-person learning for courses like the Certificate III in EAL allows for hands-on experiences, providing tactile and experiential learning opportunities that online learning sometimes can’t replicate. Particularly in the context of understanding cultural nuances and colloquial language use, being able to observe and participate in these interactions in real-time can be invaluable.
