Guidance for International Students on Studying in Western Australia

Navigating the Pathway to Higher Education Through English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students ELICOS

Are you an international student seeking a pathway into higher education programs in Western Australia? If so, demonstrating proficiency through Academic IELTS 5.0 or equivalent qualifications can be your gateway.

The range of TAFE certificate and diploma courses offered across Western Australia each have specific English language requirements detled within our comprehensive course catalogue.

When applying directly to TIWA TAFE International Western Australia for a TAFE program, the admissions team evaluates your current English level. If this is not adequately evidenced through alternative accepted means such as tests, certifications, or previous studies conducted in English-speaking environments, you may be eligible for an ELICOS placement test.

Should it become necessary to improve your English proficiency before beginning your chosen course, TIWA issues a conditional Letter of Offer specifying the required number of weeks in ELICOS. Though TIWA does not offer ELICOS directly, we partner with reputable English language colleges who provide this essential step towards academic success.

A minimum level of English proficiency for most TAFE programs is equivalent to an overall Academic IELTS score of 6.0 individual band falling below 5.0; some countries may accept high school English results as evidence.
