English for work, travel or personal reasons

Our English courses are not just for people wanting to go to university. We know there are lots of reasons that you may want to improve your English, and we will help you achieve your goals.

Overview

You can start at Griffith English Language Institute with any English proficiency level and study for the period suited to your own purposes. You will be placed in a class between Level 1 and Level 6 based on our placement test taken before you commence your course, or your proficiency test result if you have one.

If you are placed in Level 1, 2, 3 or 4, you will develop language skills for everyday communication: speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary, and pronunciation. At Levels 5 and 6, you will further improve your communication skills and also practise skills that will be useful for work or further study.
