English Language Proficiency
If English is not your first language, most courses require proof of English proficiency.

General Entry Requirements:
English Language Courses (ELICOS): No academic entry requirements for General English programs, but exam preparation courses (e.g., IELTS, CAE) may require a placement test.
Schools: Entry criteria differ by school and region.
Vocational Education and Training (VET): Generally, no entrance exams are required, though some courses may require prior study or work experience.
Undergraduate (Higher Education): A qualification equivalent to Australia’s Year 12 (Senior Secondary Certificate) is required. Some programs may have prerequisite subjects.
Postgraduate (Higher Education): Completion of an undergraduate degree is necessary, and some programs may consider research ability or relevant work experience.
Foundation Programs
If you don’t meet the standard academic requirements for an Australian high school qualification, you may consider a Foundation course (also known as a bridging program), which typically lasts one year and is available at most higher education institutions.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Some Australian institutions offer course credits or exemptions based on your previous education or experience. Learn more on the course credits and exemptions page.
