Application Dates – Vocational Courses (VET) Melbourne Campus

1. Choose your experience

Browse through our course offering to select the option that aligns best to your career outcomes and study goals.  

If you need help to know which course is right for you, you can book an Advisor catch up to get personalised advice.

In addition, our Customer Experience team is available Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4pm on (03) 8595 5334 and enquiry@angliss.edu.au. 

2. Submit your application

All applications are completed online. The information you provide will be collated into your Student Pack which will be used within the Pre-Training Review process to determine your suitability for the specific course you have applied for, and your eligibility for a government subsidised place. 

The application takes around 30 minutes to complete. Before you start, you will need: 

1. Your USI – create or confirm your existing USI
2. A certified copy of your results, or your verified USI transcript to upload (if you plan to apply for Credit Transfers)
3. Your proof of citizenship (e.g. Green Medicare Card, Australian Birth Certificate, Australian Passport)

If you’re having trouble completing an application, or would just prefer to do it in person, book an assisted session on campus with our Customer Experience team.

3. Complete the assessment process

Once you submit your online application, you will receive an email inviting you to complete a Language, Literacy, and Numeracy (LLN) test. Please make sure you take your time and do your best, as these scores are part of the selection criteria for entry. 

Your Student Pack will be created by the Customer Experience team and finalised when your LLN scores can be added – if there is any missing information to follow up, they will be in touch within the week you complete the LLN test. If you obtain a score below the selection criteria for entry, you will be invited on campus for a second attempt. Both scores will then be added to your Student Pack. 

A completed Student Pack is provided to the Admissions team for assessment against the selection criteria for entry. If you do not meet the requirements for the course, you may be contacted about a more suitable study option. 

4. Receive your Student Pack

If you are deemed eligible for an offer, you will receive your Student Pack digitally via the contact email address that you provided in your online application.  

You need to review this document carefully, keeping in mind that any false or misleading information, and/or failing to disclose any relevant information (including that of prior qualifications and citizenship/residency status) may result in a transfer of your enrolment to a Fee For Service i.e. Full Fee place.

Your electronic signature on the Student Pack is the confirmation that everything provided within the document is true and correct. This will be used to create your course offer.

5. Await your Letter of Offer

Once you have signed your Student Pack, the Admissions team will prepare your Letter of Offer which is provided to you by email within three business days, along with your Statement of Fees.

Make sure you carefully read over the instructions, as your offer may include conditions before you can proceed to secure your place, such as: 

1. Students under the age of 17 (Mandatory School Age) will be required to provide a completed exemption from school application form, and attend campus with a parent or legal guardian to complete the consent to admit an underage student process  
2. Students under the age of 18 will be required to attend campus with a parent or legal guardian to complete the consent to admit an underage student process 

Course offers are accepted via the online portal eStudent. The Letter of Offer will include a lapse date, which is the deadline by when you must accept, defer, or decline.

In most cases, you will receive your Enrolment Instructions at the same time as your Letter of Offer. Make sure you carefully review the Subject Guide and instructions to avoid over-enrolment into your course.  

Need help to enrol? Your instructions will include a link to book into an assisted session with the Admissions team, you are welcome to bring a support person with you, and you can request a referral to Access and Disability support services as a part of this session.
