ELICOS
English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students (ELICOS) is a specially designed qualification for overseas students to enhance their English language proficiency. The English language is highly important, not only for the sake of day-to-day communication, but also for business purposes, career orientation and social networking across all industries around the world. To help international students hone their English language skills, ACFE provides high quality and well-structured courses approved by the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS), which guarantees that the course and institution at which you study meets the Australian educational standards.
ACFE’s ELICOS program is a great way to learn English by building up confidence and developing high literacy skills in the process. Our English programs are open to all visa holders who have study rights in Australia (i.e. temporary visa holders and permanent visa holders).
Apart from this, our ELICOS courses also prepare students for future studies at ACFE in Automotive, Business, Health and Community Services programs. Students with elementary or basic English proficiency levels are welcome to enroll in the course to improve their English and enhance their job prospects.
