BMEC trains students to listen, speak, read and write military and general English.
Although the course is not exam-focused, it aims to support student progression from their current NATO STANAG 6001 level to a higher level (SLP 1 to 2, or SLP 2 to 3).
Alongside language training, students gain a wider understanding of British culture through classroom-based lessons and cultural trips.
BMEC develops the English language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing up to the relevant STANAG proficiency level for the course.
