Satisfactory completion of studies in applicant’s home country equivalent to an Australian Year 12 qualification is required for entry into this course.

English Language / Literacy / Numeracy Requirements

We accept admission to the students if they qualify in ANY ONE (1) of the following tests to meet the Student visa English language requirement:

English Language Test Providers Minimum Test Score With 10 weeks ELICOS / Foundation With 20 weeks ELICOS / Foundation
IELTS 6.0 5.5 5.0

Course Credit

ICM can grant you credit towards your course for units of competency that you have already completed with another RTO or authorised issuing organisations. We can also grant you Credit for subjects or units you have completed where equivalence can be established between the unit in your course, and the subject or unit you have completed.

There is no charge to apply for Credit. To apply, fill in the Credit Application Form and submit it as part of your enrolment.

* As an international student, note that where you are granted credit, this will reduce your course duration and you will be informed of this in writing.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process where skills and knowledge that you have gained through work and life experience and other unrecognised training can be formally recognised.

ICM has a process that has been structured to minimise the time and cost to applicants and provides a supportive approach to students wishing to take up this option. You should ideally apply for RPL at the time of enrolment, but you may also apply up to 2 weeks into your course. During the entry process and interview stage ICM will discuss with you the process and options for RPL. Suitability is often determined on how much experience you have in a certain area, your work history and previous training. If RPL is determined as a possibility for you, you will be provided with a kit that will guide you in working through each unit to determine relevant skills and experience and identify whether you would be able to provide the required evidence.

A trainer/assessor will be available to assist you throughout this process.

* Similar to course credits, granting RPL will reduce your course duration for international students.
