Pre-Arrival Learning

Pre-Arrival Learning, or PAL, is an online tool designed to make the most of the waiting period learners often experience before they arrive to start their study.

Combining a PAL access code with a letter of introduction gives learners access to valuable online resources including an English pre-test, corresponding General English course and an orientation tour.

PAL is for learners who are already enrolled with a provider but have not yet arrived.
