AMES Skillmax的EFE课程和AMEP的英语课程哪个好？

da_wang

同时申请了Skillmax的EFE和AMEP的课程（怕没课上：）
现在EFE给了offer, AMEP通知明天去interview.
筒子们说下哪个课程好，英语听说能提高得比较快啊？EFE是不是针对找工作更有帮助？

EFE的全称？是不是网上申请，然后上传材料，就等offer了？从网上申请到拿到offer要多久？

English for employment, 是AMES的，AMEP是另一个。

很简单，雅思5.5-6分的，只能上EFE

雅思6.5以上的，可以上skillmax

两个都是在AMES联系

多谢两位，我一直把虫子文章里的AMES看成AMEP了。。。
是不是只有NSW才有这个AMES的EFE和skillmax的课啊？
还想问LZ，从申请到拿到offer需要多久时间？有人数限制么？

不好意思，弱问，这课程要钱吗？
算了，放弃提问，我是475，没资格。

呵呵 楼上 我也是475  不过你在阿德的话可以去读TAFE SA的一个四周的课程，包括帮你找工作改简历什么的。

EFE时间长，9周，Skillmax时间短，5周吧，剩下的就没什么太大的区别了。

老师都是一拨人，他们自己说没区别。

我提交申请EFE,为什么没有消息呢？是不合格么？

I will give a complete update for the discussion about Skillmax, EFE and AMEP in AMES.
Actually, AMES is the name of the institution which provide language service to new immigrants to Australia. The full name of AMES is Adult Migrant English Service. These services can be free for some candidates with requirement matched.
The service that AMES provides includes AMEP, EFE and Skillmax. All these services can be looked as a path from low level to high.
AMEP means Adult Migrant English Program, which includes English course equal to Certificate I, II and III. This program also include English linked Skills program, such as Certificat in Aged care work, Children's services, Hospitality, Business and Retail Operation, etc. It can be applied with IELTS lower than 5.5, if the rest requirement matches. After finishing the free 180 hours of course, you can join the IELTS at half price.
Skillmax is the top of the course path, which requirs 6.0 for IELTS. It is not an English language course as the entry level is high for English language. It only focus on the job seeking skill in Australia, which also helps you to understand the culture background of Australia.
EFE (English for Employment) is in the middle between AMEP and Skillmax. The 9 week course combine both English language skills and job seeking skills and that is why it is longer than Skillmax. The teacher will take time to improve your language skills such as pronunciation. Of course, the requirement of enrollment is lower, with IELTS above 5.5.
It is depended on yourself which course to selet. Please consider the purpose and your own English language skills and apply for the right course. For detail information, please check the official NSW AMES website: http://www. AMES.edu.au
