    HOW TO APPLY

    English and Workforce Development training programs are open to adult English language learners at intermediate to advanced proficiency levels. New applicants should come to CIET in Room C-239 on the second floor of LaGuardia’s C-building to fill out a pre-application and be added to the wait list. Professional immigrants from the healthcare sector (nurses, physicians, and mental health professionals) can also sign up for the wait list online by completing a survey at CIET’s NYC Welcome Back Center

    You will then be invited to an information and pre-testing session to confirm your eligibility for the program and the most appropriate proficiency level of spoken English. For workforce programs, you may be required to show proof of work eligibility or home-country experience in certain professions, such as healthcare, to qualify for the program. Classes generally begin each semester in September, January or April, meeting four times a week and lasting approximately 10-12 weeks.
