Agreements between TAFE Institutes and the universities specify the credits that a student will receive on transfer from a Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree to a Degree course. This credit transfer may reduce the duration and the cost of the degree program.

Polytechnic West also has internal credit agreements between selected Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas to related Associate Degrees.

To gain the equivalent of one year of advanced standing, you need the following credit points: > Polytechnic West = 24 credit points (8 units)

> Curtin University = 200 credit points

> To develop your English skills to help with future job opportunities

Why choose a TAFE English course?

The TAFE Western Australia English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) Centres are government owned and operated. You can be confident you have selected a professional and financially secure institute.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROGRAMS

What English courses can I study?

A range of English courses are available through the English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) Centre at Polytechnic West’s Bentley Campus:

General and Academic English

General English courses will help you to develop your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. You will improve your English language skills for general everyday travel work in an English speaking country or for further academic study.

Academic English courses will help you develop the basic skills necessary for successful study in certificate and diploma courses.

IELTS Ready

Preparation This course will take you through the structure of the IELTS test using official IELTS practice tasks. You will receive constructive feedback from experienced lecturers, some of whom are experienced IELTS assessors.

Vocational English Courses

> Certificate I in Spoken and Written English is a foundation course for people who need to develop their basic language skills.

> Certificate II in Spoken and Written English is a Post Beginner course giving students the English language skills to satisfy their everyday needs.

> Certificate III in Spoken and Written English is an intermediate course which develops the skills to satisfy basic social needs, and the requirements of routine business and recreational situations.

> Certificate IV in Spoken and Written English (Further Study) will develop the English skills necessary for further education.

Accredited by NEAS Australia for the provision of the highest quality English language teaching programs.

English Australia (EA) membership: the peak professional body for all accredited English language (ELICOS) centres in Australia.

Fully Accredited ELICOS Centres

Professional Teachers and Quality Programs

Polytechnic West’s fully qualified English Language instructors have years of experience working with students from all backgrounds. Programs and teaching methods are customised to suit the needs of students and learning resources including text books, visual media and web-based materials are used. To ensure that all students are given the assistance they require, ELICOS classes at Polytechnic West have an average of 18 students.

There are no entry requirements for Polytechnic West’s English courses as programs are suitable for all levels from basic through to advanced. At the beginning of class, all students will be given a proficiency test to ensure you are placed in the correct class at the correct level. Regular assessments are taken during your course to assess progress and a final test (normally at the end of the term) determines your successful completion.

Recognised Qualifications

All students who successfully complete one of Polytechnic West’s English Programs will receive a Certificate of Completion which specifies their English language level according to the percentage band. This is recognised by NEAS Australia and education institutions throughout Australia. Other specialised courses also have their own individual certificates upon completion.

Bentley Campus

All ELICOS English classes are delivered at Polytechnic West’s Bentley campus. If you plan to continue your studies at Polytechnic West or Curtin University, English language classes at Bentley are ideally located to familiarise students with the location. To travel to Bentley Campus, the 98 or 99 Transperth circle bus route travels through many of Perth's suburbs, picking up many students and continues to all Perth's five main universities. Shopping and entertainment facilities are close by in the adjoining suburbs of Victoria Park, Como, Karawara and South Perth.

Tuition Fees

$300 (AUD) per week

Course Dates

Polytechnic West breaks their academic year into a 1 month Summer School in January and then 4 terms of 10 weeks duration from February to December. You can enrol every Monday up to week 6 in each term. Orientation and placement testing takes place on the Monday you start classes.

The ELICOS course dates are found in the Important Dates section on page 4.

For entry into most Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses, ETI require the equivalent of an IELTS (academic) score of 5.5 with no band score less than 5. Please note: some courses require higher levels of English for entry.

For entry into Associate Degree courses, the equivalent of an IELTS (academic) score of 6.0 with no band score less than 5.5 is required.

Where a recognised English Test score is not available students may be able to sit the ETI English Language Placement Test which will indicate how long they may need to study English in order to meet the required English language level.

For the full list of tests and evidence of English language equivalency that are accepted, please visit the ETI website: www.eti.wa.edu.au.

Please note ETI reserves the right to require any student, whose actual English performance is found not to be consistent with the IELTS scores they presented with their Application form, to sit an independent English test as determined by ETI.

The student will be required to meet all the cost of undertaking this independent test should the score not be consistent with that provided to ETI on application. If the student has not met the necessary IELTS standards they will be required to undertake an ELICOS course of study. All costs involved: course fees, visa extension if required etc. are to be met by the student.

www.eti.wa.edu.au/course-catalogue for information on courses.

2. Check the Entry Requirements

All applicants can study at TAFE in the calendar year they are turning 18. There are no English or Academic entry requirements to begin our English (ELICOS) programs. However, all of our Certificate and Diploma courses have specific Academic and English proficiency requirements. You can find out about these requirements by going to ETI's website www.eti.wa.edu.au.

Make sure that you can meet the entry requirements of your chosen course before you proceed to the next step in the application process.

Application + Acceptance Deadlines

Deadlines for submitting applications to Education + Training International (ETI) for admission to TAFE courses depend on the assessment level countries students are applying from and whether or not students are applying on or offshore. Level 3 offshore applications should apply early for places, as visa processing can take more time. Students should also be aware that there are deadlines for accepting offers and making fee payment. Confirmation of Enrolments (CoEs) will not be issued after the cut-off date, this is to ensure that students leave a reasonable time to get their visa and arrive in time for orientation and the start of classes.

Visit the website for information on important dates and deadlines: www.eti.wa.edu.au.

3. Submit your Application

You can apply to study at a TAFE Institute by completing your application online at www.eti.wa.edu.au/apply.

You can apply directly to ETI or you can apply through one of ETI’s approved education agents. You pay the same fees whether you apply directly to us or through one of ETI's education agents.

Many students choose to apply directly, especially as they can use this guide and the ETI website to find all the information they need and submit their applications online. Other students choose to use education agents to assist them in preparing and submitting their study and visa applications. If you do not already have an agent, you can find an approved ETI agent on our website:

www.eti.wa.edu.au/find-an-education-agent.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

(27)

Receive your Letter of Offer

Once we have received your application and supporting documentation, we will assess your eligibility to study your selected course(s). If eligible and there are places available we will send you a 'Letter of Offer'. This letter will be sent to you directly or through the education agent you have nominated according to your instructions on the application form.

If we have not received all of the required supporting documentation from you, for example certified copies of certificates etc., then your Letter of Offer will have conditions listed noting the information you still need to provide.

There are many high demand courses that fill up very quickly, so you should consider returning your acceptance and payment promptly.

Your place is not confirmed until payment is made, conditions are met, and you have returned and signed the Acceptance Letter.

You will also need to allow sufficient time before your course starts to obtain your visa and make arrangements to come to Western Australia. Usually at least 3 - 6 months is needed to do this.

4. Accept your Offer and Pay

To accept your Offer, you must return your signed Acceptance Letter with:

> Supporting documentation that you were requested to supply, in your Letter of Offer (i.e. conditions).

(CoE) and apply for your Student Visa

You must have a student visa in order to enter Australia and commence your studies.

The latest and most accurate information on obtaining your student visa can be found on the Department of Immigration and Border Protection’s website: www.immi.gov.au.

If you need help obtaining your visa and other aspects of moving to Australia, which may be best provided in your own country or language, then you might like to use the services of one of ETI’s approved education agents.

6. Receive your Visa and come to Australia to

commence your studies

When your student visa has been granted, you are ready to come to Western Australia to begin your course. Please take note of the Orientation dates for Polytechnic West as you will be provided with important information that you need to know to successfully complete your course of study and to make the most of your time in Western Australia.

You must arrive in Australia prior to the

commencement of your course or your enrolment may be deferred to the next available intake and you may have to return home.
