    • Submit application materials, including transcripts, passport, and English proficiency proof, to the State Department of Education.
    • School review: The Department of Education recommends schools based on the student's situation, and the school arranges an interview after its review.
    • Interview notification: An email will specify the interview time, method (usually Zoom or Teams), and preparation details.
    • Interview content: A conversation in English including self-introduction, interests, academic situation, future plans, and a comprehensive assessment of learning habits, adaptability, reasons for coming to Australia, etc. The duration is approximately 15-30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Obtain CoE and Arrange OSHC

    • Organize documents for finances, GTE, English proficiency, and medical examination, ensuring consistency with the chosen course.
    • Check the letterheads, dates, translation formats, and certification requirements of visa documents.

The school's visa assessment level determines the risk level for students applying for a visa and is a significant reference.

For example, if a school's visa assessment level is 2, the applicant will face more restrictions and be required to provide more written evidence, such as proof of language proficiency and financial capacity.

The skills in this qualification must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian standards and industry codes of practice.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
