Higher Education courses
Higher Education courses provide professional qualifications with an emphasis on theory and the development of transferable skills. Some courses are vocational, leading to careers in clearly identified areas (e.g. Accounting) while others are "generalist" with no particular vocational component. Further training is sometimes needed on completion of these courses to gain workplace skills.
A basic Undergraduate degree usually requires a minimum of three to four years full-time study. Many courses such as combined degrees and industry-based learning (work experience) degrees are longer.
Vocational Education Training (VET) courses
VET providers offer both professional and para-professional courses with an emphasis on practical skills and vocational outcomes that lead into higher level training, higher education and/or employment. All courses offer current training for employment involving expertise in a particular skill area. The structure of these courses closely matches the requirements of industry and the variety of study areas reflects a wide range of employment areas. In all instances, qualifications are designed in close consultation with industry to ensure the training is current and relevant. They may also be work-based or involve a work placement.
Teaching styles
# University teaching styles vary, however they generally include formal lectures, tutorials, seminars, practical workshops and/or laboratory classes and work experience placements.
# TAFE teaching styles involve small classes, individual attention and diverse programs. They are devised to ensure that they are highly accessible, provide a range of pathways and ensure practical learning while bridging the gap between work and education.
# Independent tertiary colleges offer a diverse range of teaching styles including lectures, workshops, laboratory classes, seminars, small group tutorials, practical work placements, industry visits and self-paced virtual classrooms. Courses may lead to employment or further study at degree and/or postgraduate level. A number of these courses offer credit transfer arrangements with other institutions.
Study English in Australia
Studying another language is always easier when you are surrounded by it – when you have the constant exposure to incidental language, to the sounds, the vocabulary, and to both spoken and written forms. Studying English in Australia is ideal, because of the relative safety and security of the community and the low cost of living compared to other major English-speaking countries. Hello Aussie Student Services can help you every step of the way, from finding the school where you want to study English in Australia, to assistance with applying, travel and accommodation.
Types of English courses
Depending on the purpose you need the language for, Hello Aussie Student Services can help you arrange different courses for studying English in Australia. These are the five main types of English courses taught in Australian schools:
* General English: For those who will need to speak English in a variety of different settings.

How do I know I’m enrolling in a good course?
The team at Hello Aussie Student Services has spent years helping students find an English course to best suit their needs … we can do the same for you! At Hello Aussie Student Services, we only recommend English courses where the provider is accredited by one or more of several schemes. These include:
* The National ELICOS Accreditation Scheme, which is the government’s official English training accreditation system. It provides guidance on maximum class sizes, teacher qualifications, approved curriculum, teaching materials and orientation programs.
* The Australian Council of Private Education and Training – if you choose to study English in Australia through a private provider, this body will oversee your school.
* English Australia; this group of ~65 colleges works to ELICOS standards, and guarantees quality as well as fee security.
Every private college in Australia must guarantee that students will be provided with the tuition for which they have enrolled, under the government-administered Tuition Assurance Scheme.
Despite these assurances which exist for every school where you can study English in Australia, there are still plenty of individual factors to consider when choosing your college! Hello Aussie Student Services can help identify the school that will suit your individual needs best with a quick consultation. Contact us today to find out more.
