Who can apply for a CILL certificate

All registered CILL members are entitled to such membership.

Hours are counted for each academic year only. i.e. 1 September  to 31 August . SAP & WAP hours also count. SEP hours do not count.

You must use the portfolio effectively as a record of your studies in CILL. You will not get a certificate without portfolio entries for a substantial proportion of your study in CILL.

 

Hours

To ensure an accurate record of CILL attendance, use the Smart Card Reader when you enter and when you leave CILL. Hours are not counted if you do not use the card.

You can check the number of hours you have studied in CILL. Ask the counter staff for a CILL-hours-checking form. Complete the form and return it to the staff. You can collect the form with your hours the following day.

 

Report

To be given a certificate you must write a report about your studies in CILL. You can get a report form from the CILL counter.

The report should be about 200 words and should include:

• What areas you have studied – e.g. grammar, vocabulary, speaking skills.
• How you studied – the materials you used – what you did.
• Which materials helped you the most, the most useful things you did in CILL.
• The progress you feel you have made.
• How CILL has helped you to become an independent language learner.

For a Gold Membership write a second report on your study progress after your Silver Membership.

 

How to apply

When you have studied 30 or 45 hours you should write your report. Give your portfolio, report and CILL-hours-checking form to the counter staff.

 

Congratulations!

You will be notified via email when the certificate is ready for collection.
