How does this work?
We start with Tactics for Winning – this gives orientation and motivation for learners.
Then each lesson consists of an audio CD and worksheets. The CD runs for about 20-30 minutes, but as it progresses you will be asked by the tutor to shut it off occasionally and refer to your worksheets.

It is this combination of explanation by audio CD plus exercises in your worksheets that makes progress so easy. You should be able to complete the full lesson in about 2 hours, after which a special exercise in pronunciation is undertaken. This is so that by the end of the course each student should not only be speaking English well, but also be using correct pronunciation.

Assessment and Award
Once you have successfully completed the course, you will be awarded a Certificate in Speaking and Writing English.

Accreditation
Please note that this programme is not registered on the NQF, and as such it is not a credit-bearing programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the Classes?
College SA is a home study college. This means that you do not have to go to class. You study at home, on the train, at work, after hours, on your lunch break, or over weekends! This means that you save a lot of costs that classroom students have to pay. Things like travel costs and accommodation are expensive for classroom students. Obviously it is also safer to study in your own home. It also means that you can work while you study, so you can earn a salary and get your qualification at the same time.
Do I get study material from the College?
College SA includes all your books, course items and study material with your course. So unlike other colleges, we shall not give you a list of books to buy. Once you have paid, you are entitled to recieve all the study material you need from us. In some cases there might be recommended reading materials which the college does not provide. But this will only be materials that are not essentials to passing your course.
What is the cost of the study material?
Your study material is included in your course fees, so the college does not charge you for study material.
