To enrol in our courses, trainees must demonstrate proficiency in both written and spoken English. This should be equivalent to NCEA Level 1 (basic high school-level reading and writing) or an IELTS score of 5.5 or higher. This level ensures participants can effectively understand course materials and participate in discussions.
If you do not meet the required English proficiency level, there may be alternative pathways available. Please see the options listed below or contact us to discuss your situation.
Reader/writers may be permitted for some courses, depending on the type of training you are enrolling in. Translators are not permitted for any courses.
If you require a reader/writer or other support, please contact us in advance to discuss your options.
If a student is unable to write their answers in English, a reader writer may be used.
In some cases, the Assessor may act as the reader writer if it is practical. Otherwise, the student will need to arrange and cover the cost of an additional Safety n Action team member to assist as the reader writer.
If you require this support, please contact us in advance to discuss your options.
