Transfer Policy / Previous Education Evaluation

Instruction Transfer of credit from other institutions is encouraged and available in all programs except EFL. Applicants may request an informal transfer of credit evaluation prior to admission. Official notification of credits that have been accepted for transfer to a program normally occurs at the time an offer of admission is made or during the student’s first module of enrollment. Evaluation of credits for transfer to a program will require the following documentation: a copy of the transcript that reflects the course being evaluated.

Credits evaluated for transfer from other educational institutions must have been:

Minimum Requirements for the Evaluation of Transfer of Credit( For domestic students only).

• Earned and recorded on an official transcript at a school that was accredited by an agency recognized by either the U.S. Department of education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

• Earned within 5 years prior to or after matriculation. • Earned in courses posting a “B” (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher. • Earned in a course where the content is equivalent to the corresponding

Learnet Academy course or where the content is considered to enhance the student’s education; and

• Approved prior to registering for the course • The school also considers credits for transfer from educational

accomplishments attained in extra-institutional settings that are recognized by the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Center for Adult Learning and Educational Credentials.

The maximum number of credits accepted for transfer to a Learnet Academy program is 25% of the required number of credits to complete the particular program.

Maximum Number of Credits Permitted for Transfe r( For domestic students only).

Students may request a review of a transfer of credit evaluation by submitting a written request to the Office of Admission within 30 days of receiving an evaluation. Recognizing that transfer of credit evaluations are based on a number of important factors, written requests for their review should explain, in detail, the issues or circumstances that led the student to believe the evaluation was flawed or that an error was made during the evaluation process. The outcome of this review is final.

Reconsideration of a Transfer of Credit Evaluation ( For domestic students only).

Test Out Evaluation

Any student may request the opportunity to test out of a course, based on the student's previous experience. The student must take the final exam for the course not more than 30 days prior to the start of class. To receive course credit, the student must make a score of at least 70%. No letter grade will be given for any transfer or test out course.

College Credit The collaborations between Universities, Community Colleges and Learnet Academy allow Learnet Academy’s graduates to receive college credit for their coursework taken at Learnet Academy in Los Angeles, California.

Student will also pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

Cancellation Policy / Procedures

Students have the right to cancel the enrollment agreement students’ sign for a course of instruction including any equipment, such as books, materials, and supplies, or any other goods and services included in the agreement, until midnight of the fifth business day after the first class students attended. Business day means, except for home study or correspondence, a day on which students were scheduled to attend a class session. Cancellation shall occur when students give written notice of cancellation at the address of the school shown on the top of the front page of the enrollment agreement. Students can do this by mail, hand delivery, or telegram. The written notice of cancellation, if sent by mail, is effective when deposited in the mail properly addressed with postage prepaid. The written notice of cancellation need not take any particular form, and, however expressed, it is effective if it shows that students no longer wish to be bound by students’ enrollment agreement. Students will be given two ‘notice of cancellation’ forms on the first day of class, but if students choose to cancel, students can use any written notice that students wish. If the school has given students any equipment, including books or other materials, students shall return it to the school within 30 days following the date of students’ notice of cancellation. If students fail to return this equipment, including books, or other materials, in good condition within the 30 day

12


period, the school may deduct its documented cost for the equipment from any refund that may be due students. Once students pay for the equipment, it is students’ to keep without further obligation. If students cancel the agreement, the school will refund any money that students paid, less any deduction for equipment not timely returned in good condition, within 30 days after student’s notice of cancellation is received.

Withdrawal from Course

The student has the right to withdraw from the course of instruction at any time. If the student withdraws from the course of instruction after the period allowed for cancellation of the enrollment agreement, which is until midnight of the fifth business day following the first class the student attended, the school will remit a refund, less a processing and a registration fee of $75.00, within 30 days following their withdrawal. They are obligated to pay only for educational services rendered and for unreturned books or equipment.

Refund Policy The refund shall be the amount the students paid for instruction multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of clock hours of instruction which they have not received but for which they have paid, and the denominator of which is the total number of clock hours of instruction for which they have paid. If they obtain books or equipment, as specified in the enrollment agreement as a separate charge, and return them in good condition within 30 days following the date of their withdrawal, the school shall refund the charge for the books or equipment paid by them. If they fail to return books or equipment in good condition within the 30-day period, the school may offset against the refund the documented cost for books or equipment exceeding the prorated refund amount. For a list of these costs, see the list on the front of the enrollment agreement and any attachments. If the amount that they have paid is more than the amount that is owed for the time they attended. Then a refund will be made within 30 days of withdrawal. If the amount that they owed is more than the amount that they have already paid, they will have to make arrangements to pay it.

Assume a student enrolls in a 800-hour EFL program , starting in module EFL 2A and pays $5,700.00 for tuition, $75.00 for processing and registration fee along with $160.00 (fair market value) for equipment as specified in the enrollment agreement, then withdraws after completing 400 hours of elapsed time without returning the equipment he/she obtained. The pro rata refund to the student would be $2,850.00 based on the calculation stated below. If the student returns the equipment in good condition within 30 days following his/her withdrawal, the school shall refund the charge for the equipment paid by the student.

Sample Refund Calculation

Based on the preceding example, the refund calculation would be made in the following way:

$ 5,775.00 $ 5,700 tuition + $ 75 registration Less $ 10.00 Registration fee (amount school may retain) Less $ 65.00 Processing fee (amount school may retain)

Times 400 Clock hours of instruction not attempted Divided By 800 Hours of instruction for which student has paid

Equals $ 2,850.00 Initial refund amount Plus $ 0.00 Documented cost of returned equipment*

Equals $ 2,850.00 Actual refund amount *If the student returns the equipment in good condition, the actual refund to the student would be $3,010.00 ($2,850.00 + $160.00). For the purpose of determining the amount they owe for the time they attended, they shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the course when any of the following occurs:

1. They notify the school of their withdrawal or the actual date of withdrawal. 2. The school terminates their enrollment agreement. 3. They fail to attend classes for a two-week period. In this case, the date of

withdrawal shall be deemed to be the last date of recorded attendance.

Academic Policy Academic Progress Policy

Duration of Study Students must complete their programs with a minimum GPA of 2.0, and do so within 1.5 times the scheduled program length. Completion Upon successful completion of the program, a Certificate of Completion or Diploma will be issued to the student. Grading System The school maintains an academic progress report for each student. Grades are issued upon the completion of each module or level. The grading system is as follows:

Rating % Score Letter Grade Grade Point Average Excellent 100-90 A 4 point Good 89-80 B 3 point Average 79-70 C 2 point Below Average 69-60 D 1 point Fail 59-00 F 0 point Incomplete I I 0 point Withdrawal W W 0 point

Passing grades are "A", "B", "C", and "D". All grades appear on the official transcripts and are used in calculating the grade point average. Student progress and grade reports become part of the student's permanent record and all grades received are posted on the Student Record. A grade of Incomplete ("I") will be given when a student has not completed all course work or does not take the required exams. "I" notations must be made up within two weeks from the completion of the course or "I" will become "F" and the course will have be repeated for credit. Satisfactory completion of the necessary work in the allotted time will convert the "I" to the grade earned. A grade of Withdrawal ("W") is to be used only for students who withdraw from a class during the first three weeks of a grading term. After that, "W" will be become an "F" for the class.

Satisfactory Attendance and Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Satisfactory progress is evaluated at 25%, 50%, 75% and at 100% point of the program. Satisfactory Attendance Progress The student is required to make quantitative progress toward program completion. To be making satisfactory Attendance progress, a student must attend at least 78% of the scheduled class hours on a cumulative basis during each evaluation period. Students who withdraw from the program will receive a grade of 0% in each class interrupted by the withdrawal. All interrupted classes must be repeated upon readmission to the institution. Students with more than 10 consecutive days of

15


unexpected absences will be automatically withdrawn. Satisfactory Academic Progress The student’s academic average is reviewed to determine qualitative progress. The minimum required is 70% at the conclusion of each evaluation period. Incomplete grades are not given, and students must repeat any classes in which they earn less than a 70% average. Course work repeated may adversely affect a student's academic progress in terms of the maximum time frame. Whether a student changes programs or seeks additional programs, their cumulative GPA will reflect all units taken, however the transfer credits do not impact a student’s cumulative GPA at Learnet Academy. Probation Students will be notified in writing should they be placed on probation for either failing to meet the attendance requirements or failing to meet the SAP standards. Students will also receive attendance or academic counseling from the Executive/Education Director, as appropriate, when they are placed on either probation. The institution will notify a probation student by certified mail if he or she is being administratively withdrawn for unsatisfactory academic progress or attendance improvement. If a student fails to meet the cumulative 78% attendance or 70% grade average for any evaluation period (which is a quarter of each program’s curriculum), he or she will be placed on probation for the next evaluation period as follows: 1. Attendance Probation: students must show the overall attendance rate met

the requirement of 78% attendance policy; failure to achieve a 78% attendance, at the end of the probationary evaluation period will result in the administrative withdrawal of the student.

2. Academic Probation: students must retake the class and pass the exam; failure to achieve a 70% grade average, at the end of the probationary evaluation period will result in the administrative withdrawal of the student.

Appeal Process The student may submit a written appeal of his/her dismissal within five calendar days of their receipt of the dismissal notice. The appeal should be addressed to the Executive/Education Director. The appeal must be accompanied by documentation of the mitigating circumstances that have prevented the student from attaining satisfactory academic progress. Only extraordinary circumstances will be considered, such as death or severe illness in the immediate family. The Executive/Education Director will assess all appeals, and determine whether the student may be permitted to continue in school on a probationary status, despite not meeting the satisfactory progress requirements. The student will be sent the written decision within ten days of the Institute’s receipt of the appeal. The decision of the Executive/Education Director is final. Students reinstated upon appeal are on a probationary status for the next evaluation period, during which time they must meet the terms and conditions set out in the Executive/Education Director’s letter granting the appeal. At the end of the evaluation period, and at the end of every evaluation period thereafter, the student’s academic status will be reviewed. The student may

16


continue on probation as long as he or she meets the terms of the probation, until such time as satisfactory academic progress status is regained. The student reinstated after dismissal and appeal is not eligible for financial aid until he or she regains satisfactory progress status by meeting the minimum SAP standards. Maximum Time Frame All program requirements must be completed within a maximum time frame of 1.5 times the normal program length, as measured in calendar time except reenrollment for new updated program with the Executive/Education Director’s approval. A program of 36 units in length must be completed within 54 attempted units of study. An explanation of the ratio of satisfactory credits earned: attempted for each program is detailed in the table below.

Program Units Maximum

Attempted Units EFL 32 48 TOEFL iBT 16 24 Computer Information Infrastructure 36 54 Computer Information Technology Administrator 36 54 Real Estate & Finance Broker 36 54 Real Estate & Finance Salesperson 18 27 Contractor License 36 54 General Contractor 18 27 Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer 18 27

In order to meet the quantitative standard, students must complete 66% of all units attempted. Withdrawals, incompletes, repeated courses and failure grades will count as attempted coursework.

17


Tardiness Learnet Academy encourages students to be "on time" for all activities, appointments and classes. Students who arrive more than twenty minutes late for class or who miss 20 minutes of class time during any given class hour are recorded as incomplete and considered absent for that class hour.

Make Up Classes The school does not require a student to make-up missed classes. Make up classes are not specifically scheduled and are never guaranteed. However, missed classes can be made up on a drop-in or space available basis within two weeks from the date the original class was missed. In no event will make-up classes be provided for students after the scheduled end of the module or level.

Leave of Absence Students are entitled to take only one leave of absence during any academic year. The duration of the leave of absence may not exceed sixty days. Requests for leave must be submitted to the Executive/Education Director and must include an anticipated return date and be signed by the student. Failure to return to school as scheduled without prior written notification to and approval from the Executive/Education Director will result in immediate dismissal. Any refund due will be made within thirty calendar days from the end of an approved leave of absence. The Executive/Education Director may grant leaves of absence and/or waive interim satisfactory standards for circumstances of poor health, family crisis, or other significant occurrences outside the control of the student. It must be demonstrated by the student that the circumstances had or will have an adverse impact on the student's satisfactory progress in the academic program. No waivers will be provided for graduation requirements. Time for an approved leave of absence will not be included in the calculation of a student's maximum program length. Leave of absence (LOA) may be granted under special circumstances. Students may receive two leave of absence during the course of their training. There are two categories of LOA:

1. General LOA for emergency or personal purposes, up to 60 days, 2. Medical LOA for medical situations.

Only Executive/Education Director is authorized to grant a Leave of Absence. All medical Leaves of Absence whether requested in advance or based on an emergency situation must be documented by a doctor’s statement. The Executive/Education Director completes the request for Leave of Absence and the Student Status Change form and ensures their proper disbursement.

Restarts 1. By definition, a restart is any student who has previously attended this school.

2. Any student who has dropped out or been terminated by the school for attendance or academic probation.

3. Any student who has dropped or has been terminated by the school shall be eligible to restart.

4. All restarts must have written permission from the Executive/Education Director. The Executive/Education Director will also complete the Education portion of the Restart Application.

5. A new Enrollment Agreement cannot be signed or submitted until the following: a. The Executive/Education Director has submitted a Restart

18


Authorization form; b. All termination paperwork has been completed and the student has

completed the three-week waiting period; c. The $75.00 restart fee has been paid to cover the processing of the

student's new paperwork. 6. Restarts are to be treated as new students but shall receive credit for all

hours successfully completed and shall be charged only for hours yet to be completed. In the event that the student has paid for the course in full, the student will only be charged at the standard rate for any hours over the regularly scheduled hours, as indicated in the Enrollment Agreement.

7. The maximum number of times a student may restart at the school is two. The school understands that unforeseen circumstances can prohibit the student from completing studies but feels that the student should be able to successfully complete the schooling within three attempts. If a student wishes to be exempted from this policy, he or she must submit their request in writing to the Executive/Education Director, detailing the reasons for the exemption. The decision to exempt the student must be approved by the Executive Director.

19


Uncompleted Subjects and Remediation

Students will be given an opportunity, at the discretion of the Executive Director and subject to the availability of space, to repeat, remediate, or make up lost work. This work shall be given full standing and credit with respect to the student's SAP.

Graduation Requirements

Students must complete all required prerequisite courses and completion of all courses while maintaining an average grade of 70% (G.P.A of 2.0) or better. The student must also meet attendance policy and thereby maintaining an overall attendance rate of 78%.

Certificates of Completion

Students who complete their curriculum objectives within the maximum time frame are eligible to graduate. A Certificate of Completion will only be issued for a completed program.

Diplomas Upon successful completion of all twelve levels of the EFL program the students are awarded a Diploma.

Student Conduct Requirements

Students are expected to dress and act properly while attending classes. At the discretion of the school administration, a student may be dismissed from school for a serious incident or repeated incidents of an intoxicated or drugged state of behavior, possession of drugs or alcohol upon school premises, possession of weapons or disrespectful behavior to other students, an administrator or faculty member or any other stated or determined infractions of conduct.

Substance Abuse Learnet Academy recognizes that individuals sometimes use substances such as alcohol and drugs to an extent that impairs their abilities. This policy is implemented because Learnet Academy believes that any students' impairment due to the use of substances is likely to place that student, other students, employees, and other personnel, at risk of injury. Our policy on substance abuse remains consistent whether alcohol, marijuana, illegal prescription, and/or controlled substances are at issue. For the purposes of this policy, "substance" refers to any of the above. "Impairment" or "being impaired" refers to a state in which normal physical or mental faculties in use at school have been detrimentally affected by a substance. A "substance abuser" is anyone who uses drugs for non-medical purposes, and this use detrimentally affects academic performance or interferes with normal social adjustment at school. Any student attending school while impaired or who becomes impaired while at school will be found in violation of school policy and will be subject to severe disciplinary action. Such action can include suspension, dismissal, or other penalty appropriate to the circumstances. Likewise, the use, possession, transfer, or sale of any substance on school premises or in any Learnet Academy parking space, storage area, or job site, is prohibited and subject to severe disciplinary action. Students using prescription drugs have a duty to report this to their instructors, and school officials in case an adverse reaction to the medication occurs while at school, and in case the student is falsely accused of using an illegal substance. When a student is involved in the use, possession, transfer, or sale of a substance in violation of this policy, Learnet Academy may notify the appropriate authorities. Such notice will be given only after the incident is investigated and reviewed by the Executive Director. Substance abuse is both a school and a medical problem. Learnet Academy is aware that substance abuse is a complex public health issue that has both physical and emotional consequences for students, their families, and other social relationships. Any psychological or physical problem effecting students' academic

20


performance is the concern of Learnet Academy. Any instructor suspecting a substance abuse case should discuss the matter with the Executive Director immediately. Because each case is different, the handling and referral of the case must be coordinated between the instructor and Executive Director. Learnet Academy maintains a referral service for students with substance problems. Counseling and referrals are provided on a confidential basis. Voluntary, successful participation in a recovery or rehabilitation program may be a mitigating factor in disciplinary action depending on the particulars of each case. While Learnet Academy does not require students to get help, he or she may ask the school for it. In some cases, disciplinary action may be suspended, or the student may be placed on probation, pending the successful completion of a recovery program. Students who enter a rehabilitation program due to performance or behavior problems resulting from substance abuse are subject to dismissal for failing to successfully complete the program. Learnet Academy is concerned with its students' privacy, especially when matters of a medical or personal nature are concerned. As long as such information is not required for police or security purposes, Learnet Academy shall maintain student information in confidence, but subject to release to authorized school personnel on a "need to know" basis. An exception to this rule exists when the student signs a release for the transfer of such information to designated persons or agencies.

21


Academic Freedom For Learnet Academy, Inc., academic freedom is of paramount importance. Within the guidelines established by the Board of Directors, faculty and students are able to explore the many avenues of inquiry necessary to seek answers to questions in their field of study. It is the policy of the Academy that instructors and students are entitled to full freedom in exploring the many facets of the program they are involved with, subject to the adequate performance of their other academic duties. Instructors and students are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject, but they should be careful not to introduce into their discussions controversial matter which has no relation to their subject. Academy instructors are citizens, members of a learned profession, and officers of an educational institution. When they speak or write as citizens, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence, they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the Academy. Academic freedom faces its greatest threat in connection with attempts to produce social change, in expressions of dissent, in settings of sharp controversy. It should be made clear, however, that controversy as such must not be stilled. It can have beneficial as well as adverse effects, and it can produce these effects both on society and on educational institutions. The democratic process itself thrives on the resolution of conflicting viewpoints in the interest of the general welfare. Controversy characterizes every healthy, free society. Its absence makes for totalitarian attitudes and political controls. Postsecondary education also flourishes in settings where conflicting points of view can be expressed. Intellectual competency emerges out of such circumstances. Thus, controversy becomes a major educational tool. It need not be eliminated or avoided. Since controversy is educationally useful, a means for keeping inquiry open and free must remain. The faculty should not avoid controversy by insisting on single points of view. Hence, some guidelines for handling controversy are appropriate.

Grievances & Suggestions

An efficient, successful operation and satisfied employees go hand in hand. Employee grievances/suggestions are of concern to Learnet Academy, regardless of whether the problems are large or small. In order to provide for prompt and efficient evaluation of and response to grievances/suggestions, Learnet Academy has established a formal Grievance/Suggestion Procedure for all employees. It will always be Learnet Academy's policy to give full consideration to every employee’s opinion. There will be no discrimination against anyone because of his or her decision to participate in presenting grievances or for making suggestions. Under this policy, a grievance is defined as any event, condition, rule, or practice which the employee believes violates his or her civil rights, treats him or her unfairly, or causes him or her any degree of unpleasantness or unhappiness on the job. This covers a wide range of circumstances - everything from the workplace, the environment, and other working conditions to policies or practices which interfere with or hinder his or her performance. A grievance may also deal

22


with an attitude, a statement, or an opinion held by a supervisor or a fellow employee. Talking things over usually helps. When you have a grievance or other problem, the person you report to is the person to see first. If this does not settle the matter, you are entitled to go to his or her immediate supervisor to see what can be done. The Grievance/Suggestion Procedure is as follows:

1. See Your Supervisor First If there is anything bothering you, or if you have a suggestion, we would like to hear about it. If you feel that any working condition, policy, practice, or action by Learnet Academy or by any member of management is unjust, you should tell your supervisor about it and discuss the matter confidentially. Establish with your supervisor an appropriate time and place to discuss your concern. If for some reason your supervisor fails to offer you the opportunity to discuss the matter, or if the discussion does not lead to a satisfactory conclusion, the proceed to the next step.

2. Put It In Writing

Present your complaint or proposed solution to a problem or situation. Explain the present situation, the desired condition, and your proposed solution or suggestion for change. Submit this information to your supervisor. If, after your discussion with your supervisor, the situation remains unsettled, the matter should be referred to the director. You may need to elaborate your complaint or proposed solution presenting additional information. If you wish, you may describe the situation or problem in greater detail, name any witnesses if applicable, and be sure to mention any times, dates, and places of importance. Also, include a summary of your communications with your supervisor on the subject. Put this information into an envelope, seal it and either mail or deliver it to the Director. Of course, your grievance/suggestion may not require all this information, but could be a brief statement of a minor complaint about a working condition or a simple cost-saving idea. Whatever it is, we want to know about it.

3. Grievance/Suggestion Conference

If the previous steps have not solved the grievance within 48 hours of the incident, the aggrieved party must present to the Executive Director, in writing, all facts of the grievance. The Executive Director will review the grievance/suggestion and call you in for a scheduled the conference. This may, at his or her discretion, be with or without the presence of your supervisor. At this conference, you should feel free to openly discuss your complaint and substantiate your reasons for feeling the way you do; the director will consider your input and render a decision. In most cases, the matter will usually be resolved at this stage.

Within 24 hours, upon receipt of written information, the Executive Director will schedule a Grievance Conference. The time of the conference will be communicated in writing to all parties. All parties will consist of the Executive Director, the Education Director, and two staff of faculty members not involved with the incident question. All persons or their representatives involved with the incident must be present at

23


the time of the conference. All parties involved will be given the opportunity to discuss the grievance.

Guarantee Disclaimer The Student Placement Assistance Department is committed to assisting graduates find suitable employment. Learnet Academy or its Student Placement Assistance Department cannot, however, guarantee employment to any student, recent graduate, or alumni of this school.

Staff Interaction

Instructional staff is always aware of the fact that they are to do more than "impart facts." Every part of their classroom function needs to be pointed toward a future job. In reality, sitting in that classroom or Hands On is that student's first job. It is "pre-on-the-job-training."

Placement Process

Placement includes two elements: casual placement while the student is attending school and academic and professional career placement after the student graduates. The placement process does not start a month prior to graduation, but with the first contact the student has with the school. Part of the "tour" of the school for prospective students should include a stop at the Placement Department. That student should be greeted immediately by personnel in a friendly manner, indicating that they are looking forward to working with that student, should the student be lucky enough to be admitted to the school. It is absolutely CRITICAL that the person greeting prospective students NEVER appear that the new student is a bother, because this will be the very first contact that student received with staff. Part-time Admissions Representatives should be identified and should emphasize that they are looking forward to working with the student on living expenses and borrowing less money.

Curricular Description, Objectives and Syllabi EFL 1A Beginning Introducing elementary English to the students who take the first step to learn

English. This step demonstrates very short conversation like introducing oneself to others, basic grammar such as how to use be, simple questions and answers, Wh- questions, yes/no questions, subject pronouns, basic preposition, etc. The purpose of this course is to let students know that English is a very practical language so they can use it very usefully if they practice hard.

EFL 1B Beginning To continue study based on former level, but it becomes more complex. This step treats simple present tense, present continuous, adverbs and questions of frequency, simple past tense, and countable and uncountable nouns. Students may feel the course quickly becomes difficult because they learn grammar and expressions quite different from 1A, and they are just beginners, so the instructor needs to lead the students not to fear about learning English.

EFL 2A High Beginning

Instructor teaches to the students more complicated grammar and longer expressions. To make long sentences, the students will learn how to use conjunctions, adjectives like comparative and superlative, and longer vocabulary. At this level, students learn more words and idioms through practicing conversation, and learn about basic writing structure, how to compose real essay in English.

EFL 2B High Beginning

In this level students will learn about irregular verbs, present perfect, present continuous future. This kind of grammar is quite difficult so student should practice a lot by making sentences in speaking and writing.

EFL 3A Intermediate As of the beginning of intermediate course, this level related with basic course but students will learn more complex words, expressions and grammar. With the basis of basic knowledge, they will be able to speak in English using the comparison of simple past vs. present perfect and future tense.

EFL 3B Intermediate With the mixture of the grammar and expressions that learned former level, this step introduces infinitives and gerunds. These are so widely used in all positions of sentence, this level is very important for understand the meaning of infinitives and gerunds, how to use them with the expressions that we’ve learned before. Also this level introduces conditional sentences using if clauses.

EFL 4A High Intermediate

Continuous study from intermediate 1, with more complicated expressions. Students will learn about passive, past continuous, and some adverbs variously used in sentences. The focus on this level is to fortify learning structures in practical English. This level is middle of all complete courses, so it’s important to study remembering the basic structure. To do so, students can progress their ability in English.

EFL 4B High Intermediate

In this level, students will learn about present prefect continuous, relative clauses and useful expressions related with them. At this level students can speak English natives using 5-6 sentences without stopping, and they can compose more than three passages. Present perfect continuous is a combination of present perfect + continuous, so this will be also the continuous study of former level. Relative clauses are essential to make sentences longer more than conjunction. Students will learn general usage of relative clauses thoroughly.

EFL 5A and 5B Advanced

In advance level, we focus on the students’ ability of “how they can speak English fluently with native speakers”, “how they can read more difficult subject such as contemporary issues of current society, and how well they can discuss about it”,

34


“how they can express their opinion with written words”. In this level, students will learn more about relative clauses, gerund phrases, if clauses, indirect questions, past continuous, simple past, past perfect, with more advanced idioms. In this level, students will learn about noun phrases containing relative clauses passive infinitives and gerunds, passive in the present continuous and present perfect, prepositions of cause, infinitive clauses and phrases. Students can develop their communicative competence in English and higher-level comprehension skill is also will be developing.

EFL 6A and 6B High Advanced

Continuous study of former level. This level completes all activities of talking, listening, writing and reading. The purpose of the study in this level is to accomplish the highest ability to use English without any difficulty. Students learn about expressions of suggestions with gerunds, infinitives, base-form verbs, and negative questions, time clauses, phrases of purpose, describing regrets about the past with should have + past participle, discussions about current issues with groups. As the conclusion of all levels of study, this level treats various reviews of all activities: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. In this step students will learn about past sentences for degrees of certainty, the passive to describe with be, defining and non-defining relative clauses, complex noun phrases with gerunds, all with the reviews of tenses. Students will be able to deal with more difficult subjects by express their opinion, writing essays and reading difficult passages.

Recruitment / Advertising / Promotional Practice Policies

The responsibility to admit students rests solely with the Executive Director and Admissions Representatives staff. Recruitment and Admissions Representative of students are never delegated to an outside party. All applications need to be approved and signed by the Executive Director. Prohibited Admissions Activities

1. Off-Campus Recruiting: California Law (and in some cases Federal law) prohibits off-campus solicitation of enrollments through such methods as canvassing, surveys, telemarketing, referring individuals to the school, etc., and registering or enrolling a student off-campus, unless the individual (or Agency) is bonded and licensed as an Agent with the California Bureau for Private Post-Secondary and Vocational Education. Note: this does not apply to school employees who participate in panels such as academic and professional career days at a local high school.

2. Employment Agencies may not be used for recruiting. 3. Students may not be compensated for referrals (except under strict

conditions). Also, a recent Council statement has indicates that they would consider such compensation as rendering the student an "Agent" of the school.

4. Advertising in the Classified section of a newspaper (or any other media) is strictly forbidden.

5. No claims implying a guarantee of employment or level of income may be made.

6. No claims implying that a course of study will prepare an individual for gainful employment or State licensure may be made unless they are factual.

Learnet Academy strictly follows advertising/promotional practice guidelines of its approving and/or accrediting agencies, institutions, bodies, and/or organizations.
