VET FEE-HELP
How can NUA Horizons help?
Applying for VET FEE-HELP is a complicated process. There are approximately 60 checklist points for the application for which information or evidence must be provided and reviewed. In addition, as VET FEE-HELP is part of the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP), RTOs need to rewrite some policy and procedure documents in order to apply. This is because Higher Education regulations are sometimes different to VET.
We give you detailed advice specific to your application process in order to meet VET FEE-HELP requirements. We liaise with your accountant to ensure that the financial viability part of the application is fully addressed. We work for you, from the beginning of the application to the end, to make the process as stress-free as possible.
CRICOS
How can NUA Horizons help?
Whether you want to get initial registration, or add a qualification/s to scope (both of these processes can include registering for ELICOS), NUA Horizons does everything for you.
We provide constant support, with expert advice. We will provide a customised international student document system inclusive of policies and procedures and handbooks. Whatever courses you plan to run, we offer tailored strategies to meet all necessary standards. As part of our focus on quality and best practice, we can organise an in-house compliance check prior to your on-site audit, and on-going assistance if required.
ELICOS
IELTS Courses:
IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. When an international student takes the IELTS test, they receive a band score of between 0 and 9. Students take this test to enter an Australian university, to get a job in Australian or to receive an Australian permanent residence visa.
General English Courses:
General English classes are less intensive academically than IELTS classes. They are designed to cater to the student who wants to improve their English for general conversation and communication. There are six levels: Starter, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper-Intermediate and Advanced.
Other Courses:
Apart from IELTS and General English, other available courses include: Cambridge, Pearson, EAL and CSWE.
