English for Academic Purposes -EAP (Upper-Intermediate, Advanced)
Course Overview
Course Structure
Job Training Institute’s EAP course comprises two levels (EAP 1 and EAP 2), each of which consist of 10 weeks of study at 20 classroom hours per week.
Each level is divided into two modules of five weeks each; students may enter the level at the start of any of these modules and exit at the end of each module. But Individual students needs are considered in deciding how many modules a student undertakes.
Students are advised to also complete homework and self-access activities totalling at least 15 hours per week in addition to the scheduled 20 hours per week.
EAP classes run throughout the year except during Christmas and New Year when the college shuts down completely. JTI will also be closed during public holidays where they fall on a weekday, as determined by the Victorian state government.
