ELICOS Students:  

To achieve satisfactory course progress, a student must successfully complete a minimum of 50% of their units each term. Progress is monitored by teachers who track students’ progress through their assessments throughout the term.  Students studying ELICOS are required to attend 20 hours a week and maintain a minimum of 80% attendance at all times.

VET Students:   

To achieve satisfactory course progress a student must successfully complete a minimum of 50% of their units each term. Progress is monitored by trainers who track students’ progress through their assessments throughout the term. As the RTO understands that lack of attendance is a key risk factor for lack of course progress, attendance is informally monitored with students receiving notifications as per Attendance Policy and Procedure. However, this is required to maintain for not breaching visa conditions.

Timing of applications:
Whilst students may apply for RPL at any time, they are encouraged to apply before commencing a training program. This will reduce unnecessary training and enable the student to follow a more efficient path to competency. Where a student presents evidence for RPL AFTER they have commenced a unit of competency or module and where clear evidence can be provided that the student was fully informed about their options prior to enrolment and commencement, fees will apply.

VISA Conditions: 
As per VISA Condition 8202 students must maintain satisfactory course progress and attendance for each study period as required by your education provider. Until student applications are processed and approved in writing by the RTO, students MUST continue to attend and participate in all classes as outlined in their Confirmation of Enrolment.

Supporting Documentation:
The RTO will recognise all qualifications issued by any other RTO upon receiving evidence (original or certified copies) in the form of:

• A Testamur or Statement of Attainment clearly demonstrating the RTO government-issued number and logo
• A record of results clearly demonstrating the RTO course codes and competency achieved.

We understand that you may experience financial difficulties at some point during your studies. If you are experiencing financial hardship it is very important you don’t ignore your situation.

We help the students by offering Monthly Installment Plans to lessen their financial burden. If you are an international student you must ensure there should not be any breach of your visa conditions.
