New Zealand Certificate in English Language (General/Workplace/Academic) (Level 3)

This qualification is intended for learners of English as an additional language, attending NZQA approved programmes delivered in Aotearoa New Zealand or off-shore.

Graduates will have the language skills required to communicate in most situations with some independence and fluency in order to participate in everyday/social/community, workplace and/or academic English language contexts. This qualification is at a level comparable to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) B1.

This qualification allows Aotearoa New Zealand community, employers and educational institutions to recognise the level at which the graduate can use English for general, workplace, or academic purposes.

Eastwest College was established by WEC Aotearoa New Zealand in 1996 specifically for the purpose of training Christians for cross-cultural service. The ground on which the college is built was donated by a local Christian farmer. It has grown to its present size as the college staff and its supporters have trusted the Lord without appealing for funds.

Eastwest is more than a place of training'it is a multi-cultural community which lives, works and studies together. Students have come from many countries, including South Korea, Fiji, the Netherlands, Scotland, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Japan, England, Thailand, Taiwan, USA and South Africa.

Graduates of the college now serve in places as diverse as Russia, Japan, Mexico and India, with a broad spectrum of International Christian Organizations.
