The course is equivalent to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) mid B1 to high B1.
The New Zealand Certificate in English Language (General) (Level 3) programme is an academic qualifier and will focus on the four language skills – reading, writing, speaking, and listening with a total of 60 credits.
