TAFE NSW Bathurst’s Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) is a government-funded initiative designed to assist eligible migrants and refugees in learning English. The program offers free English lessons covering speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills essential for daily life, work, and further studies in Australia. Participants also gain insights into Australian society, culture, customs, and employment practices.
With a variety of study options available, including daytime, evening, weekday, Saturday classes, and online courses, TAFE NSW Bathurst ensures flexibility to accommodate diverse schedules. The AMEP provides tailored learning plans based on individual English proficiency levels, assessed through interviews conducted at TAFE NSW locations. Additionally, free childcare services are offered to facilitate attendance for those with children below school age.
Participants can choose from general English courses or specialized Pathways to Employment Programs (PEP) focusing on vocational subjects like aged care, hospitality, and childcare. TAFE NSW Bathurst’s commitment to providing industry-relevant education is further enhanced through partnerships with organizations like CSIRO’s Ribit, offering job placements and work experience opportunities to help individuals kick-start their careers.
