Entry Requirements - Overseas Students

Although the training package does not stipulate any entry requirements for this training product. MechTech has the following entry requirements in place for overseas students:
  • Be at least 18 years of age.
  • Participate in a Pre-enrolment Review to determine the suitability of the course and additional support needs.
  • Undertake MechTech’s ACSF Level LLND 5 assessment.
  • Must have access to a portable device (laptop, iPad or similar) with access to Microsoft Word and Excel or similar.
  • Must provide evidence of English Language proficiency as stated under the English Language requirements below.

English Language Proficiency Requirements:

For intending overseas students, MechTech adheres to the current applicable student visa legislative instruments on English language requirements for student visas as they apply from time to time. All overseas students must demonstrate ‘Proficient English’ levels in accordance with the applicable legislative instrument.

The current applicable legislative instrument is:
LIN 25/090: Migration (English Language Tests and Evidence Exemptions for Subclass 500 (Student) Visas) Instrument 2025

Typically, applicants are required to provide results from an approved English language test (e.g. IELTS, PTE Academic, etc.) meeting or exceeding the minimum scores as specified by the legislative instrument and MechTech’s entry criteria. Where a student is exempt from providing external English test evidence under the visa instrument (as listed below), MechTech may assess your English proficiency through an alternate method where required. In such cases, the Dynamic Placement Test (Clarity English) is used to objectively measure your language proficiency and ensure it is sufficient for course participation. This additional step is to uphold academic standards and student support obligations, even if you are visa-exempt from testing. MechTech must be confident in your English ability to progress in your training.

You must have completed the English language test within two (2) years of the application date.

The table below shows the English language test providers, including information on English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) and the minimum overall band scores you must achieve to meet the Student visa English language requirement, which will also be used as the English Language proficiency requirement for entry into this course by MechTech in addition to its ACSF level LLND Test.
