Short Courses
Adult Migrant Volunteer Tutor Scheme - AMEP Program (SCVTUTOR25)
The course supports members of the community with a passion for tutoring AMEP learners from cultural and linguistic backgrounds through the opportunity to practise English conversation and participate in the community with a tutor for 1 to 2 hours per week.
Free English language lessons through AMEP
The Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) is funded by the Australian Government and provides free English language lessons to eligible migrants and humanitarian entrants. If you have been granted a permanent visa or eligible temporary visa and speak little or no English, you may be eligible for AMEP.
In an Adult Migrant English Program class, students will learn English language skills and information about Australian society. Students will meet other new arrivals, with similar backgrounds, experiences, and goals, and they may make new friends. All of these skills will help them settle successfully in Australia, and be equipped to seek work opportunities.
GOTAFE's Fyers Street Campus in Shepparton is an approved service provider for the Adult Migrant English Program. Contact us to talk through the options that may be available to you.
