Studying English in Australia
ENGLISH LANGUAGE INTENSIVE COURSES FOR OVERSEAS STUDENTS (ELICOS)
If you do not meet the Institute's minimum English language proficiency entrance requirements, you may choose to complete an intensive English course (ELICOS) at an Institute approved ELICOS Provider in Australia.
Approved ELICOS Centre |
CRICOS No |
| Discover English | 03262J |
| English Language Company | 02551G |
| Greenwich English College | 02672K |
| Hawthorn-Melbourne | 02931G |
| ILSC | 02137M |
| Impact English College | 02995B |
| International House Sydney | 02623G |
| Navitas English | 00289M |
| Universal English College | 00053J |
You must undertake studies sufficient to exit at a level deemed equivalent to the required levels for the main course of study. English for Academic Purposes for further studies, or similar courses, are strongly recommended as preparation for all courses at the Institute.
You should make direct contact with an Institute Approved ELICOS Provider.
For students undertaking ELICOS before entry into William Angliss Institute, international students must demonstrate appropriate levels of English language proficiency at the commencement of their courses. Levels are measured as equivalent to direct entry proficiency criteria.
Students from certain countries can undertake a maximum period of 25 weeks of ELICOS training after English language testing. These strategies are in place with the belief that if a student needs a long period of ELICOS or struggles with English language proficiency from the outset they may be at greater risk of non- compliance with visa conditions or may need to extend their stay in Australia if they are required to repeat units, or undertake additional ELICOS courses.
Packaged Course |
Qualification Level |
Equivalent IELTS score |
| ELICOS/VET/HE | English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Upper-Intermediate Level | Overall score of 5.5 (Academic) |
| ELICOS/HE | English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Advanced Level | Overall score of 6.0 (Academic) |
In some cases, William Angliss Institute may utilise an online testing tool or request that a test is issued by an Institute Approved English School to estimate the level of English proficiency. These tests are only offered to students who may not have access to formal testing or they may be in Australia and have undertaken previous studies or work experience.
These Angliss or English Provider tests assesses the competence of students in reading, speaking, listening and writing skills by expressing standards in terms of IELTS equivalence. Students must have the equivalent English level to the stipulated IELTS levels required for direct entry into William Angliss courses of study.
Interviews may also be conducted when required.
Students under 18 years old
If you are under 18 years of age and will be accompanied by your parent(s) or custodian, or will be staying with a relative at least 21 years of age, of good character and who has been nominated by your parent(s) or custodian, the Institute will issue you with the CoE on payment of tuition and other required fees, provided that you have met all other entrance requirements.
If you are not being accompanied by your parent(s) or custodian, or will not be staying with a relative, the organisations listed below can provide you with assistance in organising suitable welfare and accommodation services. You should make contact with one of these organisations to obtain full details of their services available to you. If you use the services of one of them, we will issue you with a Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare (CAAW) letter (along with the CoE) on payment of your tuition and documentation that are contained in your Offer letter. The Institute will only issue the CAAW and CoE when the nominated welfare and accommodation service organisation submits in writing that suitable accommodation, support and general welfare arrangements have been organised for you, and this is approved by Angliss. You should pay any fees associated with the services provided by one of these organisations directly to that organisation.
An Under 18 student can only stay in accommodation approved by William Angliss Institute – Approved Homestay (Australian Homestay Network, AHN) or Student Accommodation: Atira and Urbanest.
Under 18 students cannot change their approved welfare or accommodation arrangements at any time unless approved by Angliss. William Angliss Institute does not accept students that are under 17 years of age.
