Each higher education provider has a different credit system where students need a certain number of credit points to be eligible for their selected course. 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

Why study English?> To improve your English language skills

> To prepare for your TAFE studies

> 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.

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 QualificationsAll 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.

2. Check the Entry RequirementsAll 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 ApplicationYou 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.
