Meeting English Language Requirement
If you have difficulty meeting language requirements, you may need to attend an English course prior to the commencement of your enrolled course.
You can choose to upgrade your English skills while still overseas, or you can enrol in an English course run here in Australia.
If you choose to study English in Australia, in most cases, the Department of Immigration will grant an extended visa to allow for the additional time that you must spend in Australia in order to complete an English course.
