General Training Module

For Work or Immigration Purpose – General Training Module

Choose General Training, if you plan to complete secondary study, receive non-academic training, work or immigrate to English speaking countries.

Emphasise basic survival skills in a broad social and educational context. General Training modules are not designed to test the full range of formal language skills required for academic purposes.
