Helping colleges

Information

What do I need to know to get started in ELICOS?

ELT Support has worked with existing RTOs, schools and other organisations, as well as new start-ups, to establish ELICOS colleges. This page is designed to help you decide if you would like to set up an ELICOS operation.

This is general information only - please contact us on 0403 791 238 or david@eltsupport.com to discuss your particular situation.

What’s the difference between CRICOS and NEAS?

Australian education institutions must be registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) if they intend to deliver ELICOS courses to students on a Student Visa. To do this, they must meet the requirements of:

The Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS Act); and the National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018 (National Code).

How long does it take for students to improve their English?

At ELT Support, we’re often asked how long it takes students to reach the level of English language proficiency they need for a particular purpose, such as further study.
