The course components will be finalised in line with the students' needs and, as such, it is possible that some Level 2 standards may also be offered. The course will include the option of Level 2 reading and writing standards for students still needing UE literacy credits. This is a University Entrance course and offers 14 - 17 Level Three English credits .
