Successful completion of NZCEL levels 3, 4 and 5 offers you an academic pathway to further study at EIT. You will also receive a nationally recognised certificate.

The New Zealand Certificates in English Language (NZCEL) programmes are designed to help students “Live the Language.” You will learn practical and academic English skills, how to communicate with people in a variety of familiar and unfamiliar contexts, work to widen vocabulary knowledge and gain confidence in using English whatever your level.

IELTS Preparation Classes can be studied at the same time as the NZCEL Level 3 and Level 4 programmes. IELTS preparation classes are designed to improve students’ test-taking strategies, to familiarise students with the IELTS test format, and to improve their English level prior to taking the test.
