Gowell Software is offering the first fully supported, UK QCA-recognised Chinese language qualification and courses. The GoChinese platform delivers the course materials and supports much of the internal assessment of these certifications. Currently, both business and practical Chinese certifications are offered, allowing learners to obtain recognised certification for introductory work done in this language.

The qualifications are approved by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority of the UK. They are offered by an UK-based awarding body at Entry Level and Level One of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and fully mapped to the new National Occupational Standards for Languages (2006). These qualifications are endorsed by The National Centre for Languages (CiLT).

Business Chinese Qualification (Adult and Higher Education)

The Business Chinese qualifications combine blend of online and in-person evaluation. The qualifications are supported by a comprehensive Business Chinese Course, focused on developing conversational skills on everyday and commercial matters, either in-person or through communication channels. Key skills in listening, speaking and cultural issues are introduced.

Online Delivery. The course is delivered by the multimedia, online GoChinese platform, rich with learning points, exercises and commentary that guide learners and help address their questions. Offline study is also supported; course pages have printer-friendly versions and sound files that can be saved in the MP3 audio format.

The course and qualifications also provide an ideal path to more advanced qualifications, including the UK's GCSE and the PRC's HSK exams. This comprehensive offering serves effectively as a foundation for a new course or infused into an existing curriculum.

The sample lessons of the Entry Level Business Chinese course can provide you with an overview of the unique approach of this course as well as a sample of the lessons from one unit.
