"SLPET helped me develop practical workplace skills." – Zahra

Zahra moved to Australia to continue her career in pharmacy. After studying in the AMEP, she enrolled in the SLPET (English for the Workplace) course at Melbourne Polytechnic, where she developed her English and workplace communication skills.
