Certificate III in EAL (Access) is an intermediate English language course for non-English speaking background residents to develop practical English and numeracy skills for employment, further study, and community participation in Tasmania.
There are no essential entry requirements for this course. However, this is an intermediate-level course ideal for those who have already developed a basic level of English language competence and numeracy skills. Students must be at least 16 years old to enrol at TasTAFE. The course is fully subsidised for permanent residents from a non-English speaking background and may be eligible under the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP). A reliable internet connection and computer access are recommended but not required, as TasTAFE provides computers for student use during business hours.
The course covers English language development across multiple competency areas: job-seeking skills, giving and understanding routine spoken presentations, carrying out routine transactions in English (applications, forms, negotiations, problem-solving), engaging in routine conversations, reading and listening to news, and developing reading and writing skills for further study and training. Learning is structured around settlement themes including buying/renting homes, Australian community and occupations, work readiness, current affairs, public buildings, and preparing for further education. Students participate in diverse activities including role plays, class discussions, guest speaker sessions, audio-visual resources (DVDs, CDs), technology-based learning, games, and real-life excursions to practise English in authentic community settings.
TasTAFE is Tasmania's leading vocational education and training provider with extensive experience in delivering English language programs.

TasTAFE's commitment to accessibility, community engagement, and practical, settlement-focused learning makes it an ideal choice for migrants and people from non-English speaking backgrounds seeking quality English language education.
Upon completion of this Certificate III in EAL (Access), graduates will be equipped to participate effectively in Australian community life, pursue further vocational training or higher education, and access employment opportunities. The course prepares students for job-seeking activities, workplace communication, and further study in various fields. Graduates will have developed the English language proficiency necessary to engage in professional and social contexts, access community services, and continue their education through additional VET qualifications or university pathways.
