Learner Pathways
Given the very beginner nature of this course, we would expect the exit pathway for students to be into 22638VIC Certificate I in EAL. Students are then able to build on the fundamentals they learned in 22637VIC and continue to progress in their English language journey. Students may also wish to enrol in some basic pre-accredited courses such as digital literacy or cooking basics in order to improve their employability skills in a well scaffolded and gently progressing environment.
