The Application Process
If you want to come
to Australia to study,
your IAE Study in
Australia counselor can
assist you through each
step of the process.
Depending on your
individual
circumstances, your IAE
Study in Australia
counselor will advise
you on the precise
process for your
application.
The following is the
usual procedure for
students from Assessment
Level 3 or 4 countries,
applying from outside
Australia to study in
formal courses of over 3
months. The process for
Assessment levels 1 & 2
is more simple. Our
counselors will advise
you.
1.
Have a look at
http://www.immi.gov.au/students/students/chooser/index.htm
to check whether you appear to meet
the criteria for entry to Australia
on a Student Visa. If you don't, or
need assistance, our counselors can
advise you on what you need to do before
you are ready to apply. If you do appear
to meet the criteria, then…
2. Complete our Counseling Card
and send it to us together with the
required documentation.
3.
You choose an institution - with
guidance from your IAE Study in Australia
counselor. We will send you information
on what you appear qualified to enter
and recommend a number of study pathways/courses.
If you have any questions, ask your
IAE Study in Australia counselor to
give you more information or explain.
4. Complete the application form
and send certified copies of relevant
documents to your IAE Study in Australia
counselor.
5. Our counselor will ensure that
the application is in order, meets
the entry criteria for the desired course,
and forward it to the institution with
a covering letter explaining your situation.
He/She will follow-up until an Offer
of Place is received and forward it
to you.
6. Assessment Level 3 & 4 applicants
will need the Offer of Place to apply
for a Pre-Visa Assessment (PVA), the
first stage in the application process
for a Student Visa. We can assist you
through the visa application process.
If you are under 18 years of age, you
will need a Guardian in Australia, who
will be responsible for you. Your IAE
Study in Australia counselor can arrange
this for you. A Service Fee applies.
7. The Embassy will assess your application
and let you know if you appear to meet
the criteria for a Student Visa.
8. Inform your IAE Study in Australia
Counselor of the outcome. If positive,
you can then pay the required tuition
and other fees, as shown on the Offer
of Place. This can be done by either
sending a bank draft made out to the
institution to IAE Study in Australia,
or through an electronic transfer to
our IAE Study in Australia account,
depending on the urgency.
9. We will pay your fees and forward
your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)
form to you. The CoE must be sent
to the Embassy, so your visa can be
processed. The Department of Immigration
here will also forward an electronic
copy to your nearest Australian diplomatic
post.
10. When your visa is granted, inform
us of your arrival details and complete
our Airport Reception & Accommodation
Placement Form if you require these
services. A Service Fee applies, and
can be paid on-arrival to IAE or prior
to arrival if your institution is providing
these services.
If
for any reason your visa is rejected,
email us the rejection letter and we
will advise you what to do.
