HIGHER EDUCATION PATHWAYS @
POLYTECHNIC WEST
Each higher education provider has a different credit system where students need a certain number of credit points to be
eligible for their selected course. Agreements between TAFE Institutes and the universities specify the credits that a student
will receive on transfer from a Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree to a Degree course. This credit transfer may
reduce the duration and the cost of the degree program.
Polytechnic West also has internal credit agreements between selected Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas to related Associate
Degrees.
To gain the equivalent of one year of advanced standing, you need the following credit points:
> Polytechnic West = 24 credit points (8 units)
> Curtin University = 200 credit points
> Edith Cowan University (ECU) = 120 credit points

You can apply to study at a TAFE Institute by

www.eti.wa.edu.au/apply.
2. Check the Entry Requirements
All applicants can study at TAFE in the calendar year they
are turning 18. There are no English or Academic entry
requirements to begin our English (ELICOS) programs.
However, all of our Certificate and Diploma courses have
specific Academic and English proficiency requirements.
You can find out about these requirements by going to
ETI's website www.eti.wa.edu.au.
Make sure that you can meet the entry requirements of
your chosen course before you proceed to the next step
in the application process.
Application + Acceptance Deadlines
Deadlines for submitting applications to Education +
Training International (ETI) for admission to TAFE courses
depend on the assessment level countries students are
applying from and whether or not students are applying
on or offshore. Level 3 offshore applications should apply
early for places, as visa processing can take more time.
Students should also be aware that there are deadlines for
accepting offers and making fee payment. Confirmation of
Enrolments (CoEs) will not be issued after the cut-off date,
this is to ensure that students leave a reasonable time to
get their visa and arrive in time for orientation and the start
of classes.
Visit the website for information on important dates and
deadlines: www.eti.wa.edu.au.
24
www.eti.wa.edu.au/polytechnicwest
You can apply directly to ETI or you can apply through
one of ETI’s approved education agents. You pay the
same fees whether you apply directly to us or through
one of ETI's education agents.
Many students choose to apply directly, especially as
they can use this guide and the ETI website to find all the
information they need and submit their applications online.
Other students choose to use education agents to assist
them in preparing and submitting their study and visa
applications. If you do not already have an agent, you can
find an approved ETI agent on our website:
www.eti.wa.edu.au/find-an-education-agent.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE continued
Receive your Letter of Offer
Once we have received your application and supporting
documentation, we will assess your eligibility to study
your selected course(s). If eligible and there are places
available we will send you a 'Letter of Offer'. This letter
will be sent to you directly or through the education agent
you have nominated according to your instructions on the
application form.
If we have not received all of the required supporting
documentation from you, for example certified copies
of certificates etc., then your Letter of Offer will have
conditions listed noting the information you still need
to provide.
There are many high demand courses that fill up very
quickly, so you should consider returning your acceptance
and payment promptly.
Your place is not confirmed until payment is made,
conditions are met, and you have returned and signed the
Acceptance Letter.
You will also need to allow sufficient time before your
course starts to obtain your visa and make arrangements
to come to Western Australia. Usually at least 3 - 6 months
is needed to do this.
4. Accept your Offer and Pay
To accept your Offer, you must return your signed
Acceptance Letter with:
> Supporting documentation that you were requested to
supply, in your Letter of Offer (i.e. conditions).
> Payment of your schedule of fees, as indicated on your
Letter of Offer.
5. Receive your Confirmation of Enrolment
(CoE) and apply for your Student Visa
Once you have met any conditions and made the
minimum initial payment required, we will provide you
with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) which you will
need in order to apply for a Student Visa at the Australian
High Commission or Embassy in your country.
You must have a student visa in order to enter Australia
and commence your studies.
The latest and most accurate information on obtaining
your student visa can be found on the Department of
Immigration and Border Protection’s website:
www.immi.gov.au.
If you need help obtaining your visa and other aspects of
moving to Australia, which may be best provided in your
own country or language, then you might like to use the
services of one of ETI’s approved education agents.
6. Receive your Visa and come to Australia to
commence your studies
When your student visa has been granted, you are ready
to come to Western Australia to begin your course. Please
take note of the Orientation dates for Polytechnic West
as you will be provided with important information that
you need to know to successfully complete your course
of study and to make the most of your time in Western
Australia.
You must arrive in Australia prior to the
commencement of your course or your enrolment
may be deferred to the next available intake and you
may have to return home.

International Centre at your Institute to discuss whether
this is possible and how this may affect your visa.
If you choose to proceed with a change of course or
