The applicable course fees are listed on each course page. See our programs fees section for details on all fees that could apply during your course.
Students are required to apply for a Unique Student Identifier (USI) and share this number with the ELC administration team. Students without a verified USI are not permitted to receive a certificate or statement of attainment for their qualification. You can apply for it at https://www.usi.gov.au/students/create-usi.

Our courses are open to all adults 18 and over. You will need to fill our enrolment form available
online or as a pdf and send it together with a successful completion of Australian Year 12 or
international equivalent and your IELTS proficiency of 5.5 or above (or equivalency). Some courses
have additional Pre-requisites. Please check our course page for your preferred course and the
specific requirements.
Many of our students combine different courses throughout their studies with us. It is common for students to start their studies at the certificate level, making their way to the Diploma and Advanced Diploma later.

Payment is usually required 8 weeks before you start your course. However, depending on the extra services you would like us to arrange for you (such as accommodation or work program) your payment may be required earlier. In any case, your payment due date will be stated on your invoice and a confirmed place at ELC will be secured once all fees have been received as outlined on your invoice.
ELC accepts many forms of payments, including international bank cheque, credit card and direct deposit. ELC holds an account with two international student payment online platforms: Flywire and NexPay. These platforms offer excellence terms and might save you currency conversion and transfer fees. Visit their websites and follow the prompts to calculate how much you could save. To pay with Flywire, visit their website here. To pay with Nexpay, visit their website and sign up here.
If you are already in Sydney at the time of enrolment, you could also come to pay in cash.
Please bring your passport, a copy of your visa and your own laptop for the classes. You can bring lunch and place it in the fridge in the student kitchen when you arrive, or you will be able to buy lunch from any of the shops in the food court just across the road.
You will need to attend a mandatory orientation session one week prior to your course start date. You will then receive your timetable. Please contact us at info@elc.edu.au/vocational if you have not received details of your orientation day 2 weeks in advance.
Due to the length of our vocational courses, you are required to apply for a Student Visa. You can find more information on Student visas on the DHA website
fortunately not, but you can find an educational agency who can assist you in the following website https://selc.rtomanager.com.au/Publics/PublicsPages/AgentListByCountry.aspx
With a student visa you are allowed to work 48 hours in a 2-week period to help you with your expenses. For more information go to https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/student-500
