This English Placement Test has been designed to test the level of English of students who apply for any of the vocational courses - Certificate IV to Advanced Diploma level - at the NSW Institute of Education and Training. The test items specifically focus on reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary, followed up by a speaking test with a Cambridge CELTA certified language teacher.
