STUDYING IN PERTH + WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Why Study in Western Australia?
Western Australia is an ideal destination for
international students because it has a lot
to offer, including friendly people, beautiful
beaches and a healthy work-life balance.
When I first started in Australia I couldn’t
even speak English but this country is so
open and multicultural that I didn’t feel alone
for one second during my time here.

Challenger Institute of Technology - Diploma of Human Resource Management
Nursing was always a career I wanted to
do as a child. I love to help sick people and
wanted the best education that would get
me here so I chose West Coast Institute
(WCI). WCI is a big campus with all the
modern facilities and the lecturers are well
trained and very welcoming when you need
help. I love WCI and will be sad to leave
when I finish my course.

Temporary accommodation may be a good option for
when you first arrive in Western Australia. There is a range
of temporary accommodation on offer in Perth, which you
can search for through the internet and book online. There
are many backpacker hostels or budget hotels to choose
from that range from $30–$150 AUD per night depending
on whether you require shared or single rooms.
Rental Accommodation
Many students choose to share a rental house or
apartment with other students as this reduces costs.

accommodation is around $150 per week but can range
from $120–$180 per week. This cost does not usually
include electricity, water or gas.
Some useful websites to search for rental

Homestay
Homestay allows students to live with an Australian
family. This is very popular because you can make
Australian friends, embrace the Australian lifestyle and
improve your English. Homestay costs between $265$300 per week, depending on your age and level of
service provided. There is also a Homestay placement
fee of $240.

TAFE Western Australian Institutes including West Coast
Institute and Polytechnic West. Rooms start from $199
per person per week.
Underage Students
All applicants can study at TAFE in the calendar year they are
turning 18. For students under 18 years of age, once AHN
has identified a Homestay family they will give these details
to ETI, who will issue the Confirmation of Appropriate
Accommodation and Welfare (CAAW) letter. The student will
need to include this letter in their student visa application.
Sometimes parents have relatives or friends in Perth that
they would like their child (under 18) to live with. For this
to be approved parents need to provide evidence of a
long-term family relationship with the proposed hosts.
AHN will need to visit the home and ensure it is suitable
and appropriate for the child, and all adults living in the
home are required to provide Working with Children and
Police Criminal Screening checks. This arrangement will
need to be registered with AHN and fees do apply.
Please see the website for more information for
under-age students www.eti.wa.edu.au/under-18

Transport
Driving
Western Australia has a large network of public transport
options. Perth Airport is the gateway to Western Australia
and from the airport you can connect to a network of
regional airports located across our large state.
Public Transport
Public transport in the Perth metropolitan area, including
buses and trains, is provided by Transperth, part of the
State Government’s Public Transport Authority (PTA).
To drive in Western Australia you will require a valid
driver’s licence. You may be able to drive in Australia if you
have a current licence from your home country. If your
overseas licence is not valid you must apply for a West
Australian licence if you wish to continue driving.
The Department of Transport provides information
regarding licensing and road rules in Western Australia.
You can visit their website for more information:
www.transport.wa.gov.au
Taxis
Free Travel in Central Perth
Perth city has a Free Transit Zone for buses and a
SmartRider Free Transit Zone for trains allowing you to
travel for free within the boundaries of the zone!
Perth, Fremantle and Joondalup also have Central Area
Transit or CAT bus services that allow you to travel for
free within the central areas of Perth, Joondalup and
Fremantle.
Discount Travel for Students
Students undertaking full time study at TAFE institutions
are entitled to concessional travel entitlements on
Transperth and regional town bus services with their
Tertiary SmartRider.
For more information about public transport travel
zones, routes and student discounts, visit the Transperth
website: www.transperth.wa.gov.au
Taxis are used throughout Perth and can be caught from
a sign-posted taxi rank outside train stations, shopping
centres, hotels, shopping and tourist areas. It is also
possible to make a phone booking to order a taxi. Please
note that catching a taxi on public holidays and at night,
may have an additional charge.
Walking + Cycling around Perth
There are many great walking and cycling tracks around
Perth. You will find these along the Swan River in Perth
and in many of the outer suburbs. You may even be
able to cycle or walk from your accommodation to your
Institute. However please remember, in Australia you
must wear a cycle helmet at all times and use lights if
you cycle at night.
The Transperth Train System Distances*
Perth > Clarkson = 36 minutes
Perth > Joondalup = 27 minutes
Perth > Fremantle = 28 minutes
Perth > Rockingham = 31 minutes
Perth > Mandurah = 49 minutes
I would really recommend Perth to other
international students. There are a lot of
beautiful natural places here that can be
reached by foot. Perth is very easy to get
around, with free buses in the city.

STUDYING AT TAFE
All courses offered by TAFE Institutes 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 for international students at TAFE consists of
around 20 hours of training per week.
The diagram shows how School, TAFE and University
are connected and the pathways between them. Please
note that students may be required to start at a lower
qualification level than years of schooling shown above.
Please refer to the outline for your selected course in the
courses section of this guide.
TAFE Institutes in Western Australia deliver a range of
courses that are developed in consultation with industry
and are reviewed regularly to ensure that students
graduate with the skills and knowledge required for a
successful employment outcome.
The years of schooling shown in this diagram refers
to the Australian education system. For your country’s
equivalent please see the Admission Requirements
section on page 20.
Where there is a note in the course information which
indicates that a course is under review, this may mean a
change in course number, change in course content
and/or the introduction of new learning and delivery
styles. The new course will continue to be industry
focused and get students started on their career pathway.
Certificate to Advanced
Diploma
Qualification Levels
In each TAFE program area there can be multiple
qualification levels. Each qualification level represents a
combination of skills that enable the graduate to perform
various job related tasks to a certain standard.
From lowest to highest, the qualification levels are:
> Certificate I
> Certificate III
> Certificate IV
> Diploma
> Advanced Diploma, Higher Education Diploma, and
Associate Degree.
Each qualification level takes a different length of time
to complete.

to ensure you gain skills and knowledge that will be
valued by employers. Higher Education students can
expect quality teaching and work-ready qualifications.
A Higher Education Diploma or Associate Degree
will provide you with a pathway into Bachelor Degree
programs with leading Western Australian universities.
For the complete list of Higher Education and Associate
Degree courses please see page 40.
University
ELICOS
If you have completed 12 years of school, you may be able
to start at Certificate IV or Diploma level. Each industry
area is different so please refer to the specific course
information located in the courses section of this guide.
Higher Education course options will prepare you for your
chosen career or continue your pathway to higher levels
of study.
> Certificate II

If you have completed 10 or 11 years of school, you will
most likely begin your studies at Certificate III level.
Studying at TAFE
English Language
(ELICOS) Courses
Students who need to improve their English can package
an English course with their TAFE program. A range
of English courses are available through the English
Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students
(ELICOS) Centres at Central Institute of Technology and
Polytechnic West.
All TAFE programs require a minimum level of English
proficiency for entry, this will depend on any English
studies you have previously completed.
For more information about studying ELICOS please see
Page 138.
Competency Based Training
(CBT) + Assessment
Training Packages + CBT
Training packages are used as the basis for most of
the Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs
delivered by TAFE Institutes throughout Australia. A
training package is a set of nationally endorsed standards
and qualifications for recognising and assessing people’s
skills in a specific industry, industry sector or enterprise.
They are developed by national Industry Skills Councils
(ISCs) in consultation with industry and are not owned by
an individual training provider.
Training package qualifications are made up of a set of
core and elective units of competency. These units of
competency outline the skills and knowledge students
must acquire if they are to successfully complete a
qualification. These competencies are delivered by
qualified trainers using a Competency Based Training
(CBT) approach. CBT places emphasis on what a person
can do in the workplace as a result of completing a
program of training.
Competency Based Assessment
Competency Based Assessment is the process of
collecting evidence and making judgements as to
whether a competency has been achieved. The purpose
of assessment is to confirm that a student can perform to
the standard expected in the workplace as outlined in the
competency. The evidence may be collected by observing
a student undertaking a task in the workplace, through a
formal theory test, the completion of a project and so on.
Results + Awards
After you have undergone assessment, you will
receive one of the following results:
Result
code
Result
Definition
CO
Competent
You have met the requirements of
the unit of competency.
H
Hold
You have not yet met the
requirements of the unit of
competency and may need to
re-submit or re-sit an assessment.
R
Re-enrol
You have not met the
requirements of the unit of
competency and must re-enrol
and undertake this unit again.
Please note that fees are incurred
when you re-enrol into a unit(s).
These results will be issued to you as a Statement
of Attainment at the end of each Semester of study.
If you are deemed not yet competent in any units of
competency, your lecturers will give you feedback and
provide you with guidance which you can apply when you
re-submit assessments.
All students have the opportunity to appeal their results
and, if necessary, be reassessed.
When you have been deemed competent in all of the
units of competency in your qualification, you will be
issued with an Award that is for example, if you have
been studying a Diploma program, you will be issued with
your Diploma Certificate.
Industry Training
All TAFE courses are designed in partnership with
industry to ensure training programs meet the needs
of employers. Because of this, TAFE courses involve
more “hands on” activities and practical experience than
university. These activities may include workshops and
projects as well as work experience placement.
If students believe that they are already competent, they
can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). RPL
is the term used to describe a number of assessment
processes that formally recognise the competencies
an individual has acquired through formal or non-formal
learning, work experience and/or life experience. You can
find more information about RPL on ETI’s website:
www.eti.wa.edu.au/recognition-of-prior-learning

UNIVERSITY PATHWAYS
START YOUR STUDIES AT TAFE
University Credits
Many students choose to start their studies at a Western
Australian TAFE Institute, apply for university entrance
towards the end of their Diploma/Advanced Diploma
studies and then gain credit for the work they have done.
In the course section of this guide, you will find
information about advanced standing or credit transfer
arrangements that TAFE Western Australia Institutes have
with Western Australian Universities.
On completion of TAFE and university you will have two
qualifications that are attractive to employers and that will
give you a competitive edge in the global job market.
Credit Points
The advantages of starting your studies at TAFE include:
> An industry focused pathway to further study if you do
not meet university entry requirements
> Smaller class sizes with extra English and academic
support
> You will gain practical, employment focused skills that
will complement your degree
Each university has a different credit system where
students need a certain number of credit points to be
eligible for a Bachelor degree.
Agreements between TAFE Institutes and the universities
specify the credits that a student will receive on transfer
from a Diploma or Advanced Diploma to Degree course.
This credit transfer may reduce the duration and the cost
of the degree program.
> May reduce your study load, course duration and fees
when you enrol into your university degree
To gain the equivalent of one year of advanced standing,
you need the following credit points:
> May allow you to apply for Streamlined Visa Processing
(SVP) and therefore be eligible to apply for a 573
student visa for the entire duration of your TAFE and
University programs
> Curtin University = 200 credit points;
The universities listed below give selected Diploma,
Advanced Diploma and Associate Degree graduates,
entry into a wide variety of degree programs with very
competitive advanced standing or credit transfers.

Streamlined Visa
Processing (SVP)
The Australian Government has approved some education
providers in Australia to offer courses that students can
access under the Department Immigration and Border
Protection (DIBP) Streamlined Visa Processing (SVP)
arrangements.
Under SVP arrangements, students can access faster,
simpler visa processing.
Education and Training International (ETI) has been
approved by DIBP as an SVP provider for:
> Advanced Diploma courses
TAFE to University Packaging
If you are considering studying an undergraduate
degree after your TAFE program, you have the option of
packaging that course with Curtin University, Edith Cowan
University (ECU), Murdoch University or the University of
Western Australia (UWA).
You can commence a Diploma, Advanced Diploma or
Associate Degree pathway with TAFE and, on completion,
transfer to your chosen university to complete your
degree program. When you apply for a packaged program
you will receive a student visa for the whole period of
your study.
> TAFE to University packaging
Packaged programs ‘lock’ you into a university and
a degree program and it is difficult to change your
university and visa subclass once you have commenced.
ETI needs to ensure that any student intending to
study at a TAFE Western Australia Institute is a genuine
student and Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) in line with
Immigration requirements.
It is important that you discuss your options with an
approved ETI Education Agent before making a decision
to package your program.
Advanced Diploma (SVP)
Students who apply for an Advanced Diploma course are
now assessed under SVP. This process will only apply
to students who study a qualification that ends in an
Advanced Diploma.
You can commence your course at a lower level such as
Certificate III or Diploma as long as your highest level
qualification is an Advanced Diploma course.
TAFE Western Australia Advanced Diploma courses can
also provide entrance to and credit transfer into university
courses. The Advanced Diploma courses can be viewed in
the course information section.
Students undertaking a packaged program should
note that their principal course is the university
program.
There are strict immigration requirements that relate to
changing provider or visa subclasses if you have opted for
a streamlined visa.
Please note: To submit an SVP application with
an agent, you must use a Registered Agent of
the relevant University and Education + Training
International (ETI). For a list of education agents
in your country please visit: www.eti.wa.edu.au/

after the cut-off date. This is to ensure that students leave
a reasonable time to get their visa and arrive in time for
