The Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) is funded by the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs. It helps eligible migrants and refugees improve their English language skills and settle into Australia.
If you are a new migrant and you have already learnt the alphabet, how to count to 20, and can introduce yourself in English, then the Certificate I in EAL is perfect for you. Improve your English speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. By the end of this course, you will be able to ask and understand simple sentences, and recognise and read basic words and short messages.
And if you're an eligible Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) client, you can access unlimited hours of English classes until you reach a vocational level of English without paying course fees. You can apply, even if you have enrolled in the AMEP before and have been living in Australia for many years.
