Certificate of Proficiency in English
The English Language Institute has been teaching students from more than 120 countries for over 60 years. Learn from highly qualified teaching staff with professional experience in working with students from all over the world—the Pacific, Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Improve your English
Proficiency in English is your key to academic success. Let us prepare you.
The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programme will develop your English language and academic skills for study at university.
We offer 12-week courses in every trimester—this includes 10 weeks of teaching, orientation, and testing. There are two courses:
EAP for undergraduate and postgraduate study
EAP for postgraduate study (advanced).
EAP for undergraduate and postgraduate study
EAP is offered face-to-face on our Wellington campus. If there is sufficient demand, EAP will be offered online. Each EAP course covers different material, so you can attend one or more courses. The length of your study will depend on your English ability and your university study goals.
EAP will help you improve your academic reading, writing, speaking, and listening. You will develop a wide range of critical- and creative-thinking skills and learning strategies. These skills and strategies will prepare you for further study at foundation, undergraduate, or postgraduate level.
To study EAP, you need to have a pre-intermediate level of English or higher. You can provide an international English language test result, or we will assess your level before the course begins.
EAP students who meet the University’s minimum English-language entry score will be awarded a Certificate of Proficiency in English (CertEngProf). For postgraduate-level study, a higher level of achievement is required.
