AT A GLANCE
Free English learning, on a computer or a phone.
AMEPOnline is a free English language learning site provided by the Australian Government. It supports study for Adult Migrant English Program students across Australia, and for migrants in Australia and abroad.
Learners can use it on a computer or in the AMEPOnline app. It offers learning material across five levels of English, information about life and settling in Australia, and citizenship modules with keywords translated into 10 common AMEP learner languages. It also holds resources for teachers and volunteer tutors.
Who did what.
AMEPOnline credits LWA and Skills Leap Australia as the builders of the site, for the Department of Home Affairs.
Department of Home Affairs
AMEPOnline is an Australian Government site for the Adult Migrant English Program, funded by the Australian Government. It was built for the Department of Home Affairs.
LWA
LWA (Linda Wyse & Associates) was commissioned by the Department to create an open educational resource providing English language learning content aligned to the English as an Additional Language (EAL) Framework, and managed the project to deliver the website.
Skills Leap Australia
Working with LWA, which managed the project, we built the customised Moodle platform and developed EAL and foundation skills eLearning units for adult migrant learners.
Five levels of English on one customised Moodle platform.
Learners find their level, then work through online units. All five levels are aligned to the EAL Framework.
- Level 1 · Course in Initial EAL 6 units
- Level 2 · Course in EAL 9 units
- Level 3 · Certificate I in EAL (Access) 14 units
- Level 4 · Certificate II in EAL (Access) 9 units
- Level 5 · Certificate III in EAL (Access) 9 units
Courses as listed on AMEPOnline in November 2026.
