ACCOMMODATION/ AIRPORT RECEPTION

TAFE is unable to offer students on-campus accommodation within the Perth metropolitan area.

We do have on-campus accommodation at some of our regional campuses.

For students studying at our metropolitan colleges we recommend that they book temporary accommodation for the first few weeks or homestay accommodation for the first month after arrival.

This will allow students time to make longer term accommodation decisions. To book temporary accommodation or homestay accommodation please contact our accommodation provider Talkabout Tours at www.talkabouttours.com.au

Temporary accommodationStudents can choose backpacker hostels from $30 per night or budget hotels from $100 per night. There is a large range of temporary accommodation offered in Perth which students can search for through the internet and book online. Students can also contact Talkabout Tours to arrange temporary accommodation.

HomestayHomestay is when students choose to live with an Australian family. This is very popular because students make Australian friends, embrace the Australian lifestyle and improve their English. Homestay costs $225 per week for students 18 years and over and $260 per week for students under 18. There is also a homestay placement fee of $185. Bookings must be made at least two weeks in advance. Late bookings will incur additional fees.

Homestay includes breakfast and dinner during the week and all meals on the weekends. The cost also includes laundry, snacks, electricity and gas. For more information about homestay and to make a booking contact Talkabout Tours on www.talkabouttours.com.au

Underage studentsStudents who wish to commence study at a TAFE college must be over 18 or turning 18 in the same semester that they commence their course. Whilst a student is under the age of 18 they are required to have a local guardian until they turn 18. If the student intends to live with a relative in Perth the relative can nominate to be the guardian. If the student does not nominate a relative, then ETI requires students to live in homestay accommodation organised by Talkabout Tours. Once this accommodation is arranged, ETI will issue the welfare letter (CAAW) and act as the local guardian for the student.

Rental accommodationMany students choose to rent an apartment or house with other students. A typical four-bedroom house in Perth is currently renting at around $400 per week. A two-bedroom apartment rents for $300 – $350 per week. Students who are sharing these costs need to budget for around $150 per week to cover their share of the rent plus electricity and gas. For more information on available rentals please visit the following real estate websites: www.reiwa.com.au or www.realestate.com.au

Airport pickupAirport pickup can be arranged at a cost of $88 and will take students directly to their homestay family or temporary accommodation. Please contact Talkabout Tours to organise this service. A taxi from the airport to central Perth costs approximately $40. An airport bus ($20) is also available and can drop passengers at central city hotels.

Getting startedStudents should arrive in Perth with at least $1,000 and have access to another $2,000 during their first few weeks for expenses associated with organising housing. Funds may be needed to pay bond on rental accommodation or for other services.

BUDGETINGAdditional costsAdditional study costs can vary for each student. Some courses have resource fees that need to be paid direct to the college. These are listed under each course in this guide. Students should also budget for other costs like material fees, equipment, photocopying, stationery and text books.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)All international students studying in Australia are required to pay overseas student health cover for the entire duration of their student visa. This cover will give access to one of the best health systems in the world at a very reasonable cost. ETI’s preferred OSHC partner is OSHC Worldcare. ETI will arrange your cover for you. Students will be advised of their OSHC fees when they receive their offer letter and statement of accounts.

EmploymentInternational students on a student visa can work up to 20 hours per week during the semester. Students can work unlimited hours during scheduled semester breaks.

Students are not allowed to work until they have started their course. Students can earn $15 – $20 per hour depending on skills and experience. Students should not rely on their earnings to pay tuition fees. You can discuss work options with the International Student Coordinator at your campus after you have started your course so that you can assess your course commitments and workload.

PATHWAYS TO UNIVERSITYTAFE Western Australia is a great option for students aspiring to enter university because;

n Tuition fees are lower at TAFE making many of our programs a cost effective way to complete a bachelor’s degree.

n TAFE courses provide an industry focused pathway to further study for those students who do not meet university entry requirements.

n The opportunity to study a job focused qualification prior to university creates opportunities to gain more relevant and better paid, part-time work.

Advanced Standing and Credit TransferMany courses delivered by TAFE Western Australia provide students with entry to a university with advanced standing (credit) for subjects already studied. Information on opportunities for further study after a TAFE course is available in the TAFE to University link on our website www.eti.wa.edu.au. Students can also contact their preferred university directly to see if a TAFE course will give them entry and advanced standing into a specific degree program. Many programs in addition to the ones listed on our website will provide entry and advanced standing to university. Students can apply to university after they complete their qualification at TAFE or they can submit an application for a packaged program.

Advanced standing arrangements vary from program to program. Often full advanced standing will not be granted until after the student has completed the TAFE course and all the units studied including electives can be assessed.

University PackagingA TAFE Western Australia University package will allow students to commence a Diploma or Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree with TAFE and, on completion, transfer to university to complete the final year(s) of a Degree program. Students applying for a packaged program will receive a student visa for the whole period of their study. Please note all packaged visas will be assessed by immigration on the highest level subclass visa criteria (with the exception of ELICOS).

TAFE Western Australia can package courses with the following leading Western Australian Universities;

n Curtin University (Curtin) www.curtin.edu.au

n Edith Cowan University (ECU) www.ecu.edu.au

n Murdoch University www.murdoch.edu.au

Graduates receive a double qualification – a TAFE Diploma or Associate Degree and a Bachelor degree.

English RequirementsPlease refer to the specific English requirements for both the TAFE and University program. Note, some courses require a higher English level.

Students applying for a package will require at least an IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 570 (PBT) or 230 (CBT) or 88 (iBT) or equivalent. The Department of Immigration will require an IELTS test for applicants from some counties. Please contact an education agent in your country for more information or refer to the immigration department website www.immi.gov.au

Principal CourseStudents taking up a packaged program should note that their principal course is the university program. Changing TAFE programs may affect their principal study program and students should consult immigration and their university prior to changing programs or applying for release letters.

For further information about the packaging procedure and to download university application forms please go to the TAFE to University link on our website: www.eti.wa.edu.au/studying-at-tafe/tafe-to-university.html

The course guide that follows contains detailed information about courses available to international students at TAFE Western Australia.

Information about all the courses offered to international students at TAFE can be found at www.eti.wa.edu.au

All the courses offered by TAFE to international students are registered on the Australian Government Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) and are full-time.

Full-time study at TAFE is generally 20 hours of training per week across three to four days.

TAFE has very flexible entry. Most students will be eligible to enter a TAFE course at some level as long as they meet the basic academic requirements and English language level. Students who do not meet the required English standard can study ELICOS (English) at TAFE prior to the start of their main course.

TAFE courses are generally made up of connecting courses that build on each other (pathways). There are often two or more entry points (year 10 and year 12) and students can exit the course at the completion of any stage.

The example below is typical of a TAFE course structure.

Diploma of Business

Year 10–11

Certificate III in Business D132

ESOS ACT AND NATIONAL CODEThe Australian Government wants international students in Australia to have a safe, enjoyable and rewarding place to study. Australian laws promote quality education and consumer protection for overseas students. These laws are known as the ESOS framework and they include the ESOS Act and the National Code. For information ESOS and your rights as an international student in Australia please refer to the following website: http://aei.dest.gov.au/AEI/ESOS.

CODE OF CONDUCTThe student must:

1. Meet TAFE course requirements and meet the requirements of DEEWR-DIAC Course Progress policy – refer to website www.ETI.wa.edu.au for policy and procedure

2. Ensure requirements are met and maintained for accommodation and welfare arrangements for students under 18.

3. Notify the International Student Coordinator at their TAFE College of their residential address within seven days of arrival and of any change to their residential address within seven days of any change.

4. Notify the International Student Coordinator at their TAFE College immediately if they terminate their studies, withdraw from their course, or there are any changes to their visa status.

5. Pay the required fees when an offer of placement is made and fees owing on receipt of invoice.

6. Not engage in activities that contravene Australian law, students who do so will be automatically dismissed and reported to DIAC .

7. Not cheat, all cheating (including plagiarism) is forbidden and will result in course failure.

8. Allow other students to learn in a safe and suitable environment.

ETI/TAFE will:

n Provide the international student with the same level of instruction and educational services as normally provided to other students enrolled at TAFE.

n Provide an orientation program for the student.

n Monitor the welfare of the student and provide counselling and ongoing support while the student is enrolled at TAFE.

n Appoint one or more staff members, to act as the point of contact for students, who have access to up-to-date detail of TAFE’s support services for students.

ENROLMENT CONDITIONSOverseas Students Health Cover (OSHC)All international students must pay the OSHC for themselves and all dependent members of their family staying with them in Australia for the duration of their visa. Students currently studying in Australia must provide ETI with a copy of their health fund membership records showing name, membership number and date of expiry. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that their OSHC is up to date. Education and Training International use OSHC Worldcare as their preferred provider

Application & Acceptance DeadlinesDeadlines for submitting applications to ETI for admission to TAFE programs depend on the assessment level countries students are applying from and whether or not students are applying on or offshore. Level 3-4 offshore applications should apply early for places, as visa processing can take more time. Students should also be aware that there are deadlines for accepting offers and making fee payment. COEs will not be issued after the cut off date, this is to ensure that students leave a reasonable time to get their visa and arrive in time. Details about Application and Acceptance deadlines is available at www.eti.wa.edu.au.

Students with Special Needs Information about your disability and/or learning difficulty is requested to establish whether you require the provision of additional services or facilities not required by students who do not have a disability. After consideration of your requirements, if the provision of these services or facilities would impose “unjustifiable hardship”, for example, a very high cost to the Department of Training & Workforce Development, your enrolment may be refused or additional fees may apply. You will be advised in writing of our decision.


Course TransferETI does not charge an application fee. However ETI reserves the right to charge an administration fee of not more that $230 (per change) to students who request a course transfer within a semester study period. After receiving an initial offer students will be given one opportunity to change to an alternative study program but all subsequent changes may incur an administration charge. This charge will be at the discretion of the Manager, Student Services and will not be levied where the course change has resulted in an error by ETI or because of a change or cancellation to a course.

Students should think carefully about their study program before they apply and should avoid changing programs.

Provider Transfer (Release Letters)The National Code restricts the capacity of students to transfer to other providers prior to completing six months of their principal course (that is the student’s main course of study or that leading to the highest qualification on the student’s current visa). Students on packaged university programs should be aware that changing course or provider may affect their packaged visa. ETI will only agree to release students in specific special circumstances. Students wishing to apply for a letter of release will need to apply in writing to the Manager, Student Services at Education and Training International.

Course Progress & AttendenceAll students must be enrolled in a full-time CRICOS registered course. ETI is required to report to DIAC instances where a student fails to make academic progress in two consecutive study periods. All students are notified beforehand, of the college’s intent to report to DIAC and are provided with 20 working days to access the complaints and appeals process. Academic progress is reviewed in each study period. International Students are required to ensure they repeat any subjects/modules failed in that period so as to ensure completion of their course within the duration specified on their COE. Detailed information on the Academic Progress Policy and the Complaints and Appeals Process is available at www.eti.wa.edu.au and will be covered in the International Student Orientation program at each college. Students enrolled in ELICOS programs will be subject to attendance requirements. These requirements will be explained to students at orientation and information is also available at www.eti.wa.edu.au.

Late ArrivalStudents who are unable to arrive on time may be given up to one week to commence. After one week the student cannot be guaranteed a place in the course. If the student arrives after the agreed date, they will be placed in an English language program until the next available commencement date for the course or may be required to return home.

Results & Certificates A Statement of Results is issued to all students at the completion of each semester. For units not satisfactorily completed, students may have the opportunity to undergo re-assessment at the end of the semester. Students will be required to pay additional fees for re-enrolments and re-assessments.

If students do not complete all the requirements of the course, they may apply for a Statement of Attainment which will record the outcomes you have achieved towards the qualification.

Recognition of Prior Learning/ExemptionsTAFE provides opportunities for students to claim exemptions or RPL. Students will enrol in the standard program and on arrival in Perth can present past study evidence to TAFE lecturers who will assess the exemption request. Students will need to provide evidence of previous qualifications (including the detailed subject descriptions) as well as any relevant work experience. Students may apply for exemptions or RPL within one week of the course commencement date. While there is no fee reduction for students granted RPL or exemptions, where possible, students will be encouraged to enrol in additional subjects/modules that may enable them to reduce the duration of their course – in which case a new COE will be issued.

Deferral or Suspension of StudyStudents need written permission from ETI to defer or suspend their course. In cases where permission is granted, DIAC will be advised. ETI is required to advise DIAC when a student fails to commence a course, withdraws before the course ends, or changes course.

Complaints & Grievance Procedure Any appeals, complaints, disputes or grievances will be handled in accordance with the policies and procedures of Education & Training (ETI). Further information on these procedures can be obtained by emailing the Manager, Students Services at [email protected]

Permission to Disclose InformationFrom time to time we may need to contact a parent, guardian or agent to discuss matters concerning a student’s tuition payment status, welfare and academic progress. To do this, we require a student’s permission. Permission is sought in a declaration on the application form. Please note this includes providing exam results if requested. Personal information may also be made available to Commonwealth and State Agencies pursuant to obligations under the ESOS Act 2007 and the National Code.

*In the case of students under 18 years of age, the parent or guardian must ensure compliance with all of the above.


Fee Payment Policyn Tuition fees are payable entirely in advance or half-yearly (one

semester) in advance.

n Continuing tuition fees are due in May and November prior to the semester commencing.

n Payment options and methods are detailed on the statement of account issued with an offer letter.

n ETI does not accept cash payments in person.

n Unpaid fees will result in the automatic cancellation of a student’s enrolment at the end of any appeals process. International students are required to demonstrate to DIAC sufficient funds to cover their studies in Australia. As such, financial hardship is not considered grounds for appeal.

n There are no additional academic fees payable for programs at TAFE. However students are required to pay for their own textbooks, uniforms, materials, resource fees and equipment. Refer to the individual course for information about these additional charges.

n When students have to repeat a subject or subjects a pro-rata tuition fee is payable.

n There is no reduction in fees for subject exemptions.

n More than one change of course per semester/ enrolment period may result in an administration charge of $230 per change.

n ETI does not accept liability for any fees paid to an agent or third party in relation to an application for enrolment.
