Students at Health Careers Language Academy can choose to go into further studies upon completion of their English course. Our English courses can be packaged with Vocational and Higher Education courses. As a part of our standard admissions processes, students are given individual academic advice based on their English level. The recommended number of weeks of English study required is determined by the current English level of the student, and the English level they need to attain for entry into and successful participation in further studies.
A popular option is for students to complete their HCLA course in one city, and then proceed with their primary course of study in another city. Students have the convenient option of studying their English course at our lovely Parramatta Sydney or Perth campuses and then have the option to relocate interstate for further study as desired. HCLA has flexible weekly intakes for our pathway programs and can cater for the intake dates/academic calendar of any destination university, college or institute.
Health Careers Language Academy has direct entry agreements with the following providers:
