professionals through teachers, contacts and industry placement.
We can also provide a pathway into further TAFE and university study,
allowing you the opportunity to progress your studies from certificate to
diploma or degree.
Courses are structured to include lectures, tutorials, a simulated work

qualification, please include it with your application together with full
syllabus details.
University of Canberra Degrees
Holmesglen Language Centre
Holmesglen offers a range of English (ELICOS) language programs
from general English to more specialised programs. Students have
access to well-equipped independent learning centres on all campuses.
Our English language courses are intensive and focus on preparing
students for vocational and university level studies and specific
language tests such as IELTS.
Holmesglen has an up-to-date, communicative approach to English
teaching. Our teachers are well qualified and use a wide range of
innovative and interactive teaching methods. A variety of written
material, audio, visual and computer activities support students in
their learning
IELTS Programs
Holmesglen offers preparation for the International English Language
Testing System (IELTS) test. Courses in both the Academic and General
Training modules are available. Both modules test students’ levels in
the 4 areas of listening, reading, writing and speaking. International
students who wish to study in Australia are advised to undertake the
Academic IELTS test regardless of the course they wish to undertake.
Vocational Education and Training
The University of Canberra (UC) is highly regarded for its ability to
prepare its graduates for their chosen professions and has received the
maximum five stars for graduate employment in the Good Universities
Guide for 12 consecutive years.
The University of Canberra shares Holmesglen’s vision on providing
quality education with a focus on developing skills for the working
environment. With this in mind, UC degree courses have a strong focus
on practical skills and can contain work-integrated learning aspects.
The University of Canberra’s recent partnership with Holmesglen offers
new opportunities for students looking to further their studies. The
12 Bachelor Degree courses offered through this partnership include
the Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Information Technology and
Bachelor of Graphic Design.
All UC Bachelor Degree courses stated in this publication will be
conducted at Holmesglen’s campuses and are subject to University of
Canberra’s policies and procedures.
For further information about the University’s courses, policies and
procedures, visit: www.canberra.edu.au
CRICOS Provider Codes: 00212K and 01893E
Charles Sturt University Degrees
Certificate Programs
Certificate IV level courses qualify students for entry into Victorian
universities - in some cases with advanced standing. For students
wanting to gain entry into degree courses at universities, certificate
courses are a practical alternative to the more academic Matriculation
or Foundation courses.
Diploma Programs
Diploma courses are one to two year paraprofessional courses.
Advanced Diploma programs usually provide credit amounting to
one year in a university degree course on condition that the student
continues to study in the same field.
Higher Education
Holmesglen Degrees
Holmesglen’s degrees provide the same standards and quality as
degrees at university. They provide students with a career focused
rather than a theoretical, research focused degree. The innovative
delivery methodology provides a distinct difference over the delivery of
degrees at universities. The main advantage is the applied nature of
the teaching. Students will experience applied learning, project based
learning and an evidence based practice approach which will prepare
them for employment.
2
Charles Sturt University (CSU) is passionate about providing
qualifications that prepare graduates for exciting and rewarding careers.
The University consistently ranks highly for graduate employment and
offers excellent student support to help students make the most of
their time at university.
CSU’s courses include workplace learning opportunities that give
students a real taste of their future career, and flexible study options to
help fit study around work, family and lifestyle commitments. CSU has
strong relationships with industry, government and the professions to
offer practical learning opportunities, ensure course content is relevant
and prepare graduates for the future.
Students can study CSU’s Bachelor of Business Studies or Bachelor of
Hotel Management at Holmesglen campuses in Melbourne. Students
start with a Diploma or Advanced Diploma at Holmesglen, then receive
credit and guaranteed entry into the CSU degree. Either course can be
completed within 3 years, and students graduate with two qualifications
- the Holmesglen Diploma or Advanced Diploma, and a Bachelor degree
from CSU.

University Pathway Programs
Deakin University
University Pathway Programs are sometimes referred to as transfer
programs and provide students with entry to university with guaranteed
advanced standing (or credit) of up to one and a half years towards a
bachelor degree.
Students complete the first part of the course at Holmesglen and then
transfer to the partner university to complete the degree. Students are
required to meet minimum entry requirements and, in some cases,
may complete the bachelor degree with a further one to three years of
study.
These programs offer an alternative pathway for those students who:
• may have been unsuccessful in obtaining direct entry into university;
• have been away from formal studies for some time;
• are looking for a suitable learning environment that will assist in
introducing them to the Australian education system in a relaxed
and friendly setting with a full range of support services; and
• are seeking a competitively-priced first year of study.
Different credit arrangements exist for each course. We currently offer
the following pathway programs with Deakin University
• Bachelor of Creative Arts (Visual Communication Design)
• Bachelor of Design (Architecture)
• Bachelor of Information Technology
Deakin University aims to be Australia’s most progressive university,
recognised as relevant, innovative, and responsive in all its activities.
Scholastic excellence, top quality research, industry partnerships
and tailored courses are among the factors that attract students from
all around the world. Deakin’s reputation for excellent teaching and
innovative course delivery has been recognised through many awards
over the past decade.
Located across four campuses in Melbourne, Geelong and
Warrnambool, each campus has a distinctive character and a strong
presence within the local community.
There is a personal and friendly study environment at each campus that
enables close contact with academic staff and among fellow students.

Postgraduate Programs
Teaching Methods
Holmesglen offers two postgraduate diploma qualifications in the area
of building and construction.
Professional Year Programs
Teaching methods may comprise supervised classroom learning, online
learning, lectures, tutorials, individual feedback sessions, supervised
practical components, work experience/practical placement, language
support and field trips.
Holmesglen offers the Professional Year program for Accounting,
Engineering and Information Communication Technology (ICT) graduates.
Course information may also be provided to students via the use of the
intranet.
Course Assessment
For students undertaking building degrees, there are a range of delivery
modes (teaching methods) such as face-to-face and online tutorials,
self-directed study and private study using a Problem-Based Learning
(PBL) approach and e-learning methods of delivery. In tutorials there
is a strong focus on active learning, interactive learning and facilitated
learning activities which is very important within the problem-based
learning delivery methodology.
Assessment is a combination of written assignments, tests and
practical application projects. In some courses, assessment is based
on competency, i.e. the ability to perform specific skills and is done
through a combination of observation, discussion, written assignments,
tests, examinations and/or practical application/work related projects.
Students are required to attend tests and examinations as scheduled
by Holmesglen.
Tutorials enable students to explore particular topics and concepts in
detail. Student teachers may occasionally be teaching in class under
the supervision of a qualified teacher. Some evening and weekend
study may be required.

Learning Resources
Scholarships
A list of learning resources will be provided to students on
commencement of their course. Students will be required to purchase
books and other materials as part of their course. They should allow
for additional payments per year for these materials. Some materials
may be provided online and are made available through Holmesglen’s
internet services.
Holmesglen will be introducing scholarships for international students
in 2014. These scholarships will recognise students’ achievements and
academic excellence in the first year of their study at Holmesglen. Full
information will be available on our website in October 2013.
In some courses, specifically those delivered in Problem Based
Learning (PBL) mode, there are no specific learning resources
except those provided by Holmesglen in hard and soft copy. These
learning materials are developed by highly qualified professionals and
academics.
Transfers & Credits
Graduates can also use their Vocational Education qualifications to
provide advanced entry into university degree courses, and credits of
up to one and a half years may be granted.
Course Credit
International students may be eligible for credit for previous studies
they have undertaken. In Australia, we call this Credit Transfer (CT) or
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Credit Transfer may be granted on the basis of previous study of
the same or similar modules/units of competency at Holmesglen or
at other TAFE institutions. Recognition of Prior Learning is used to
evaluate qualifications gained from other formal studies or training.
Information on how to apply for this type of credit will be provided during
the orientation program. If you believe you will be making an application
for course credit on arrival at Holmesglen, please bring with you original
copies of your academic transcripts and a verifiable, detailed outline of
each subject that you undertook as part of the course.
If you think you are eligible for this type of credit or you wish to apply
for exemptions, you should lodge your application at the International
Centre before the end of the orientation week at the latest. Applications
received after that time will not be considered.
RPL/CT will be granted subject to meeting the requirements of
Standard 9 of the National Code – completion within the expected
duration of study. Refer to www.aei.gov.au/ESOS. Until you have
received notification that you have been granted RPL or CT, you must
attend all classes.
There is no refund of fees for any credit granted. If you are granted
RPL or CT, you will be allowed to enrol in additional subjects, subject to
places being available. In this way, you may be able to complete your
course in a shorter amount of time.”
Please refer to the conditions for RPL under the Terms and Conditions
of Enrolment on pages 86 – 87.

Welfare Support for Students Under 18
It is an Australian Government requirement that all students under the
age of 18 have appropriate accommodation and welfare arrangements
whilst studying in Australia.
This requirement MUST be satisfied before a student visa can be
obtained and MUST remain valid until the student turns 18. Parents
of students under 18 must choose one of the following welfare
arrangement options.
11
Holmesglen Welfare Support Program
Holmesglen offers a welfare support program that is designed to meet
the needs of international students who wish to study while under the
age of 18 years.
This program provides:
• an assigned person approved by Holmesglen
• academic monitoring and progress reports
• contact with the student and homestay family on a regular basis
• liaison with the student’s teachers
• activities with other people providing welfare support and those in
their care
• regular contact with student’s family
All students who enter into Holmesglen’s welfare support program are
required to stay in homestay accommodation. The program enables
international students to settle into their new Australian lifestyle with
the support of a homestay family, their welfare carer and Holmesglen
staff. It is an opportunity for the students to learn about Australian
culture in a safe and understanding environment, while focussing on
their academic program.
The fee attached to the welfare support program is:
$600 per 13-week term. Payment must be made in full prior to the
student’s arrival.
Student turns 18 within two months of
commencement of studies
When a student turns 18 within two months of commencing their
course at Holmesglen, Holmesglen will appoint a Holmesglen Welfare
Officer as welfare carer. No payment is required for this service.
Students are still required to live in homestay
accommodation until the age of 18.
Parents can Nominate a Company to Provide Welfare Arrangements
Families may wish to consider direct contact with a welfare support
company. Please contact the International Centre to obtain an up-todate listing of companies that Holmesglen recognises. Students are
still required to live in homestay accommodation until the age of 18.
Parents can apply for a Student Guardian Visa
The guardian visa will allow an overseas student’s parent or relative
to remain in Australia for the entire period that they are required to be
here to provide for the student’s welfare.
The student guardian will be expected to live with the student while in
Australia, and must not leave without the student unless appropriate
alternative arrangements are first put in place. All initial student
guardian visa applications must be made outside Australia.
Further information about the student guardian visa and its
requirements is available on the Department of Immigration and
Citizenship’s website www.immi.gov.au. Applications for this need to
be made directly to DIAC.
Parents can Nominate a Suitable Relative to
Provide Welfare Arrangements
Holmesglen understands that families may have relatives living in
Melbourne who wish to provide welfare support for their son/daughter.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship defines a ‘suitable
relative’ as a person who is a grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle,
niece or nephew, or step-grandparent, stepbrother or step-sister, stepaunt, step-uncle, step-niece or step-nephew, nominated by the parents,
over the age of 21, and is of good character.
Further information about nominating a suitable relative and the
requirements is available on the Department of Immigration and
Citizenship’s website www.immi.gov.au. Applications for this need to
be made directly to DIAC.
Transition Arrangements Between Providers
Where an overseas student has been granted a visa for multiple
courses, each registered provider must nominate the period for which
they are responsible for approving the care arrangements. Where
appropriate care arrangements have not been made for overseas
students under 18 years of age outside this nominated period, the
overseas student may have their student visa cancelled and may be
required to leave Australia.
Students under the age of 18 who study at Holmesglen and who will
complete their course by 31 December and are transferring to another
provider to commence study by 15 March the following year require
welfare arrangements. Holmesglen will provide welfare arrangements
for this period at a cost of $600.

Remedial Massage and Nursing
“Melbourne offers a wide range of courses for
international students, after a lot of research
I chose to study a Diploma of Remedial Massage. I came across Holmesglen Institute of
TAFE through a friend who suggested it to me.
All I heard were great things about Holmesglen,
and I can now confirm everything I heard from
my own experience!
Friendly, accommodating and always available to help, that is how I can describe all the
teaching staff of my course. I loved every
moment here, from the people I met, to the
skills I learned and the quality of the teaching.
I have now made the decision to continue to
study at Holmesglen and have enrolled in to
the Diploma & Bachelor of Nursing. I can’t wait

1.1 Holmesglen reserves the right to cancel a
1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 course prior to its commencement, in which
case a full refund of all fees paid will be
made within two weeks.
For students enrolled in University of
Canberra or Charles Sturt University
package courses, Holmesglen reserves the
right to cancel the degree component of the
program if there are insufficient students
for the course. In this case a full refund of
all fees paid for the degree component will
be made within two weeks. Students will be
given assistance in sourcing an alternate
program of study.
A student is enrolled for the period for which
tuition fees have been paid. If tuition fees
have not been paid, the student’s enrolment
may be cancelled at the end of any appeals
process.
For students undertaking ELICOS programs
the Institute reserves the right to report
to DIAC the details of a student whose
attendance is unsatisfactory.
Students enrolled in some courses eg.
Nursing and Early Childhood Education are
required to undertake clinical or practical
placements. Failure in the placement may
require the student to repeat the entire
semester for which a full semester fee will
be payable.
Holmesglen is required to report to DIAC
instances where a student fails to make
academic progress in two consecutive
study periods. All students are notified
beforehand, of Holmesglen’s intent to report
to DIAC and are provided with 20 working
days to access the Institute’s complaints
and appeals process.
Academic Progress is reviewed in each
study period. International students are
required to ensure they repeat any subjects/
modules failed in that period so as to
ensure completion of their course within the
duration specified on their eCOE.
Detailed information on the Institute’s
Academic Progress Policy and the
Complaints and Appeals Process is available
online at
www.holmesglen.edu.au/international and
www.holmesglenlivinginmelbourne.com and
will be covered in the International Student
Orientation program.
1.6 All students are bound by the Institute’s
Student Discipline Regulations and the
Sexual Harassment Policy. Detailed
information on the Holmesglen Rules for
Student Discipline and Sexual Harassment
are covered in the Student Diary and in the
International Student Orientation Program.
Failure to adhere to these regulations may
lead to the suspension or cancellation of
a student’s enrolment. Students will be
provided with 20 working days to access the
Institute’s complaints and appeals process.
1.7 The National Code 2007 restricts the
capacity of students to transfer to other
providers prior to completing six months of
their principal course.
Holmesglen will not allow students to
transfer to another provider within six
months of the commencement of their
principal course of study in circumstances
where the transfer would be detrimental
to the study plan as detailed in their
application.
Circumstances that are considered
detrimental to a student’s study plan could
be but are not limited to:
• Change in Study Plan
• Transfer to a lower level of studies
• Increased tuition costs, particularly in
cases where deposits paid in advance to
Holmesglen are non-refundable
• Increased duration of studies in Australia
• Insufficient preparation for further studies
• Qualifications not recognised by Higher
Education Providers as satisfying their
entry requirements
• Level of support services at new provider
not equivalent
• Impact to welfare support services
established for students under the age
of 18.
• Transfer would jeopardise student’s
progression through a package of courses.
• Within six months of a course beginning
students may experience home-sickness
and transfer to another registered provider
is not likely to overcome this problem
• Holmesglen is of the view that the student
is avoiding being reported to DIAC for
failure to meet attendance or academic
progress requirements.
1.8 Students wishing to apply for a letter of
release will need to complete a form,
available from the International Centre
or online via www.holmesglen.edu.au/
international. This form will provide
information on Holmesglen’s procedures for
the assessment of such applications and
the mechanism for the student to appeal.

letter of release; however students will need
to contact DIAC to seek advice on whether
a new visa is required. In instances where
a release letter is granted, Holmesglen’s
Fee Payment and Refund Procedures will
be applied to any Fees and Charges Refund
request received.
Detailed information on Holmesglen’s
transfer policy between registered providers
is available online at

course within the duration specified on their

a new eCOE to extend the duration of study

to information online at
www.holmesglenlivinginmelbourne.com.

from Holmesglen, could constitute grounds
for cancellation of a student’s enrolment.

informed of their current address. Students
are responsible for completing updates
online via student eAdministration. This
information is covered in the International

Transfer/Recognition of Prior Learning within
one week of a study period commencement.

subjects/modules that may enable them to
reduce the duration of their course - in which
case a new eCOE will be issued. For Higher
Education Degrees, fees are charged per
subject enrolled.
A detailed CT/RPL policy and procedure is
available online at
1.13 Accompanying school-aged dependents of
international students will be required to pay

may be required to return home or placed

course.

providers such as Headmasters will use
the support facilities provided by these
institutions.

Fee Payment and Refund Procedures
When the Institute accepts an international student’s application for enrolment, the policy and
procedures detailed here and in the Terms and Conditions of Enrolment will constitute a written
agreement between Holmesglen and the international student for the purposes of the ESOS Act and
the Revised National Code (2007).
1. Application Fee
1.1 On application for admission to a course, an application fee of $500 is payable and will be
credited against the student’s tuition fee.
1.2 This application fee of $500 is non-refundable in the case of a student withdrawing an
application after a Letter of Offer is issued.
1.3 If the student’s application for admission is rejected, then the $500 application fee will be
reimbursed in full.
1.4 Students applying through the accredited agents and IDP Education offices are exempt from
including the $500 application fee with their application.
2. Payment of Tuition Fees
2.1 A study period at Holmesglen consists of no more than 24 weeks within a semester or a
trimester. The ESOS Act now limits the collection of pre-paid tuition fees. Tuition fees for all
courses including ELICOS are payable per study period. Fees payable are documented in the
student’s written Letter of Offer and Fee Schedule. Holmesglen collects no more than 50% of
the total course cost prior to the student commencing the course except for courses that fall
within one study period of 24 weeks or less.
2.2 Tuition fees paid offshore are payable to Holmesglen Institute of TAFE by Electronic Funds
Transfer, MasterCard, Visa or international bank draft (in Australian dollars, drawn on an
Australian bank in Australia). Holmesglen’s bank account details are:
Account Name: Holmesglen Institute of TAFE
Bank Name: Commonwealth Bank of Australia - Ashburton Branch
Bank Address: 205 High Street, Ashburton, Victoria, Australia
SWIFT CODE: CTBAAU2S
Branch Number (BSB): 063103
Account Number: 00901243
Once payment has been lodged, students must immediately forward the remitter’s name
together with a copy of the remittance advice/TT transmission notice in order for us to track the
payment in our account.
2.3 Tuition fees paid onshore can be paid in cash, by bank cheque, MasterCard or Visa, through
Australia Post or over the internet.
2.4 After a student commences at Holmesglen, fees for subsequent study periods are due two
weeks prior to the commencement of the study period. Invoices to students will indicate a
due date that is compliant with current ESOS requirements. Unpaid fees will result in the
cancellation of a student’s enrolment at the end of any appeals process. International students
are required to demonstrate to the Australian Government sufficient funds to cover their studies
in Australia. As such, financial hardship is not considered grounds for appeal. A fee of $300 will
be levied on students who fail to make payment by the required date and where an enrolment
has to be reinstated after cancellation.
2.5 Additional fees are payable - for additional courses, graduation ceremonies, excursions, resitting
tests and examinations and textbooks.
2.6 When students have to repeat a subject or subjects in the same study period in which they have
paid a full fee, no additional fee is payable. However when they repeat a subject or subjects in a
study period in which they have not paid a full fee, a pro-rata tuition fee is payable.
2.7 Where a student has a package offer with a partner institution, Holmesglen reserves the right
to impose an upfront fee which will not be refundable.
2.8 Students who enrol in additional courses will be required to pay the full-time course fee
applicable to that course.
2.9 Holmesglen reviews its tuition fees and other charges annually. You will be required to pay the
current fee that applies from the beginning of the next study period. If you defer your course,
you will be required to pay the fees applicable to your new commencement date. If the student
changes course the new course tuition fee will apply. Students enrolled in programs with
Holmesglen’s partners will be required to pay the tuition and other fees set by the partner.
Holmesglen makes every attempt to provide an indication of the partner institution’s fees at the
time of production of this brochure. However, students should refer to the partner institutions’
websites for full information. Holmesglen takes no responsibility for fee increases at partner
institutions.
2.10There is no reduction in fees for subject exemptions for Certificate and Diploma programs. For
degree programs, fees are charged per subject.
2.11The Institute does not accept liability for any fees paid to an agent or third party in relation to an
application for enrolment.
2.12Where the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies to programs and services in this prospectus,
the tax is included in the advertised fee.

Claims for refunds must be made in writing using the prescribed form available from the
International Office or online at www.holmesglen.edu.au/international. Refunds that are
approved will be made within four weeks after receipt of a written claim. If after payment of fees
a student withdraws an application, the following will apply:
If notice of withdrawal is received by Holmesglen in writing more than four weeks prior to
commencement of an ELICOS course, a 75% refund of tuition fees paid for the study period will
be made to students. No refund of the ELICOS tuition fee will be made to students withdrawing
from the course less than four weeks prior to commencement or after the commencement of
the course.
If notice of withdrawal is received by Holmesglen in writing more than four weeks prior to
commencement of a course study period, a 50% refund will be made to students who have paid
tuition fees for a forthcoming study period.

commencement or after commencement of the course study period, no refund of the tuition fee
will be made.
Where a student has been granted a deferral or suspension to their enrolment after the

will be granted. The fee transferred will be held towards tuition for the study period the student is
returning to and the student will be required to pay any balance prior to resuming their studies.
If the student does not return to their studies see 3.5. No refund will be granted if the student
decides not to recommence studies except in compelling or compassionate circumstances.

to the subsequent study period. Where the student does not take up his/her place in the

a student has been granted a release letter, claims for refunds will be processed according to
Refund Procedures 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.

language proficiency and the student does not attain that level of proficiency, the student will be

student does not wish to take up this option, they will be entitled to a 75% refund of the tuition
fees paid towards a subsequent study period.
3.7 Where a student has been granted a deferral in their course due to a delay in their visa grant,
tuition paid will be transferred to the subsequent study period. Where the student does not take
up his/her place in the subsequent study period, a refund will only be payable if the student visa
is not granted.
3.8 Where a student has had to withdraw because of visa refusal offshore or onshore (prior to
commencement of a study period), a full refund of all tuition fees will be paid - less a $250
administrative fee. Where a student’s visa is refused in Australia for a course they are currently
enrolled in, a refund will be granted on a pro rata basis.
3.9 Where a student does not lodge the visa application after receiving eCoEs, refunds will be
processed as per procedures outlined in items 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.
3.10Where a student’s enrolment is cancelled because of misbehaviour or breaching of visa

circumstances at its absolute discretion and the decision of the Board is final.
3.18These procedures do not remove the right of an international student to take further action
under Australia’s consumer protection laws.
