Most students use the ELF program as entry into SAIT career programs. After successfully completing the ELF program, the majority of graduates are prepared for admission into SAIT career programs as completion of ELF level 5 is accepted as equivalent to English 30 for most programs at SAIT. Students in ELF Levels 4 and 5 may combine ELF coursework with Academic Upgrading subjects in math or science.
