SITS College applies the following admission requirements

Pre-training Review:

SITS College’s policies seek to remove barriers within the learning and assessment processes, and to place individuals with specific needs into an appropriate course. SITS College is responsible for obtaining enrolment details in full (as outlined on the Enrolment Application Form) and to ensure that information pertaining to individual learning requirements is provided to participants prior to enrolment. A Pre-Training Review will be done during the application process in accordance with the applicant’s provided information. This review relates to each learner’s previous education, training and work experience. This review is conducted to determine if there is a need to recognise existing competencies through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and / or Credit for prior studies.

Recognition of Prior Learning or Credit Transfer approval will shorten the length of the course. Please refer to Pre-Training Review Policy and Procedure.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy Test (LLN Test):

Applicants will need to undertake LLN test and demonstrate the required ACSF level for this qualification to gain entry into this qualification. It will be conducted at the same time as the pre-training review.

If the applicant cannot complete the LLN test satisfactorily, they will be provided with support, (within the scope of SITS College). If the support required for the applicant does not fall within the scope of SITS College, the applicant will be asked to take further Language, literacy and numeracy training e.g. English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Learners (ELICOS) programs with some other institute at additional cost. SITS College will not charge any referral fees.

SITS College Admission requirements

Applicant must be 18 years of age or older.
Applicant must have completed year 12 or equivalent
Applicants must participate in a pre-training review interview prior to enrolment to determine suitability of training and student support needs.
- All learners will be required to demonstrate the required LLN (Language, Literacy, Numeracy) level. ACSF level 5 is required for entry into the course. For additional information, please refer to the Student Handbook on our website.
IELTS band 6.0 or equivalent. Applicant does not need to provide evidence of an English test score with application if one of the following applies:
- Applicant is a citizen and holds a passport from UK, USA, Canada, NZ, or Republic of Ireland
- Applicant is enrolled in a principal course of study that is a registered school course, a standalone English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students (ELICOS), a course registered to be delivered in a language other than English, or a registered post-graduate research course
- Applicant has completed at least 5 years’ study in English in one or more of the following countries: Australia, UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, or the Republic of Ireland
- in the 2 years before applying for the student visa, Applicant completed, in Australia and in the English language, either the Senior Secondary Certificate of Education or a substantial component of a course leading to a qualification from the Australian Qualifications Framework at the Certificate IV or higher level, while they held a student visa.
