The Global Assessment Certificate™ (GAC) program is an internationally recognized university preparation programme that provides students with the academic knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in an English-language bachelor’s degree program. The GAC is the only international program of its type, which includes preparation for the ACT® university admissions test as part of its curriculum. Students can also earn university credit for GAC coursework.
SHINE is the only authorised training centre for GAC in Cambodia.
This will be offered to students in the Language Education Programme (LEP). We will also be accepting non-SHINE students in our GAC public course.
How is the GAC Taught?
The Global Assessment Certificate program includes lectures, seminars, tutorials, group work, class discussion, and presentations. Since the language of instruction is English, teachers and students are expected to speak in English at all times in the classroom. Regular assessments, assignments, teacher feedback, and examinations help students demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Assignments include:
Role play and oral presentations
Written summaries
Critical analysis of written texts
Journals and other documents showing planning, reflection, and drafting
Group projects and presentations
Research essays and reports
Examinations
Skills tests and course participation grades
At the GAC graduation ceremony, students receive an official academic transcript—a key to university entry—that details their individual results, and includes a Grade Point Average (GPA) score. They also receive an official GAC certificate.
