SLPET – Settlement Language Pathways to Employment and Training
Navitas offers the SLPET program (Settlement Language Pathways to Employment and Training) where you can study English within the context of the Australian workplace. In your SLPET course you will learn about Australian workplace language, practices and culture, gain valuable work experience and participate in vocational training.
What’s included in SLPET courses?
SLPET courses are structured as follows:
- 140 - 160 hours of vocation-specific English language tuition,
- 40 - 60 hours of work experience in an industry related to the course of your choice,
- assistance with work preparation skills, for example, resume and interviewing skills,
- vocational counselling, and
- industry-specific units of competency from nationally accredited vocational training on some courses.
Am I eligible for SLPET?
SLPET courses are offered in addition to the 510 hours of free* English (language classes) allocated to eligible migrants and humanitarian entrants under the AMEP program. Generally, you will be eligible for a SLEPT course if you meet the following criteria:
- you are currently enrolled in the Pre-employment English stream,
- you have at least 1 hour of your AMEP entitlement (of 510 free* hours of English) remaining,

- you have completed 75% or more of your AMEP tuition hours (383 hours or more), or achieved ACSF Level 2 in Learning, Reading, Writing and Oral Communication, and

Participation in SLPET courses will depend on the availability of courses for the specific area of study chosen.
