Brightwall International College of Business Tertiary Programme Support
What is Tertiary Programme Support?
Tertiary Programme Support classes are English language focussed classes available for international students already enrolled in a business programme. The classes are offered twice per week – on Wednesday afternoons from 2-4pm and Friday mornings from 9.30-11.30am. Lecture classes begin the week after Orientation; however, Tertiary Programme Support classes commence during the induction week.
Why should you attend Tertiary Programme Support?
The classes are aimed at helping you to gain good marks in your assignments. They will not only help you to improve your grammar and vocabulary and they will also ensure that you know how to write reports and assignments in the correct way. Tertiary Programme Support also teaches you how to use sources of information for your projects and how to reference these sources correctly.

Do I have to Attend?
Tertiary Programme Support classes are compulsory for all students who have an IELTS score of less than 6.0 in their first academic year. However, classes are available for all students who wish to attend. Since classes do not just focus on English language, but also help students build their academic skills, we recommend that everyone attends Tertiary Programme Support for at least the first semester.
How much does it cost?
There is no additional fee for attending the classes. The Academic Skills handbook which accompanies the course and is mandatory is available in the campus bookstore for $25.95. The cost of the actual class is subsidized by the institute and included in your course fees.
