Description

The Certificate I in Entry to General Education (EGE) is designed to meet the needs of people who have had little or no effective education in English. The core of the course offers the basics of reading, writing and numeracy skills. The electives focus on the knowledge and skills required by adults in our modern society.

This course plays a critical role in ensuring that ‘at risk’ students receive the training required to build a bridge between their current skill levels and the skill levels required for employment, healthy engagement in a community and wellbeing.
