Applying for Admission
 
The application process is important as it can directly affect your chances of being accepted to study in Australia. It is also wise to carefully research your choices of course and education provider so that you will enjoy maximum benefit and fulfilment from your time in Australia.

The first step

• The first step is deciding which courses you wish to apply for. This involves considering the career or education path you wish to enter and researching courses to help you get there.
• Another consideration is the entry and English language requirements for each course and whether you possess the entrance criteria.
• Once you have chosen the most appropriate study path for you, it is a question of looking at which providers offer appropriate courses and which of these is most suited to you.
• Aspects to consider are the education provider's areas of speciality, what international support is on offer, and which location is most attractive to you.

Step 2: Completing your application form

• Once the preferred location and course have been chosen you will need to complete the relevant application form. These can be obtained from us as an registered Australian education agent.
• The application form will ask you for the course(s) that you are wishing to apply for and will list documentation that is required.
• Generally you will need to submit proof of your prior education and evidence of your English language ability. If you are still finishing your education in your home country it is sometimes possible to gain provisional acceptance based on your prior results until you can show your final marks.
• The Institute you are applying to should be able to assist you with any queries you have, as should your education agent (if appropriate).
• Another necessity before lodging your forms is to check with your local Australian Embassy or our Immigration Services that you are eligible to apply for a student visa if you are successful in your course application.
• Once you have completed your research, filled out your form and attached all necessary documentation it should be submitted to the Institute or your education agent.

Step 3: Institution receives your application

• Once your application has been received it will be assessed and you will be advised of the result.
• If your application was successful you will be sent a letter of offer. Upon acceptance the education provider issues an Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE). This is essential for your student visa application.
•  In some instances you may be required to undergo a pre-visa assessment before you receive your eCoE.

Step 4: Apply for your student visa

International students must have a student visa to study in Australia. Before applying for your student visa you must have proof of enrolment and may need to pay some of your tuition fees. This varies depending on where you are enrolled and you will need to investigate this with your new education agent.
