Improve your English

To be eligible for a Skilled visa and migrate to Australia you need to have at least Upper Intermediate English.

Your level of English is determined by the results you obtain on an international English language exam. There are five different English language tests you can take, the General IELTS Test, the TOEFL iBT, the Pearson English Language Test (PTE), the Cambridge Advanced (CAE), or the Occupational English Test (OET). Each exam has four components that test four language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. You need to reach a defined pass mark on each part of the exam to pass the test.

It does not matter which test you take and you can take the test as many times as you want.

If you need to improve your English, you can study in your home country, take an on-line course, or you can come to Australia on a Student visa to take an English language (ELICOS) course. If you come to Australia to study English you can work 20 hours a week while studying. Not only will you earn money to help cover the cost of living in Australia, but you will have a brilliant environment to practice your English on a daily basis.

Our suggestion

VisAustralia recommends you take an on-line course and then register to take one of the English language exams. Once you have your exam results, you will know your real level of English and be able to decide whether you need to come to Australia to study English, can enrol directly in another kind of course, or can even apply for a Skilled visa directly from your country.

Studying any course in Australia in English will allow you to boost your level and gain real confidence with the language.
