The Go-Chinese multimedia platform

The course may be delivered via the GoChinese multimedia platform. This enables students to access materials at home as well as in class to practise more. Schools and colleges may also submit their own content into the platform. GoChinese’s online tests also serve as an electronic assessment option for students seeking the certification.
