Academic Requirements 

To enter into this course delivered at the Australian Engineering College, applicants should have successfully completed year 12 or secondary studies in the applicant’s home country equivalent to the Australian senior secondary school examination.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy test (LLN)

Students undertaking this course must possess sound language, literacy and numeracy skills since the course requires learners to prepare and lodge business and instalment activity statements, data processing, monthly reconciliations, preparing budgets, preparing reports on financial performance and the position of the business, preparing end-of-year adjustments, and finalising financial records after year-end, creating spreadsheets and to do calculations or any other course related work. To determine this, all students wanting to study at the Australian Engineering College are required to undertake LLN Test prior to the commencement of the course.  Based on the test outcome, students may be identified as requiring internal support and/or external support.                   

LLN test will be conducted on campus by using an ACSF-mapped online LLN assessment tool – LLN Robot – under the supervision of a qualified LLN assessor.  

Students are required to achieve the expected level of performance level as per the required level. Where a student does not achieve the required LLN scores for the qualification into which they are seeking enrolment, LLN support* will be provided to the student, providing the student achieves the required performance level in at least three of the core skill elements and only fails to achieve the required score in the other 2 areas by 1 level.

 However, if a student fails to demonstrate performance level in more than two core skills or fails to achieve required scores by more than level 1 in any of the skills, this will result in rejection of the application. A student failing to demonstrate the LLN level does not have the required skills to successfully obtain the qualification applied for and will be referred to explore other training pathways. 

*LLN support- If students do not meet the recommended English and/or LLN requirements, students will be referred for additional support which will be provided by the institute with ACSF Support Plan or students may also be asked to take further Language, literacy and numeracy training, such as ELICOS programs at other institutes to ensure that students are provided with support and proper guidance. Australian Engineering College does not offer ELICOS programs.

Note: Australian Engineering College does not: 

  •  Guarantee any job or employment outcomes.
  • Guarantee a successful education assessment outcome for the student or intending student.
  • Claim to commit to secure for, or on the student or intending student’s behalf, a migration outcome from undertaking any course offered by the Australian Engineering College.
