Prior study in English

If an applicant has completed a minimum of one year full-time study in a formal qualification (AQF Level 5 or equivalent) at a university or other educational institution that was taught and assessed in English, they may provide a statement from the institution indicating that they have completed this requirement. The statement must:

  • Be an original document on official letterhead.
  • Demonstrate completion up to a maximum of two years prior. Applicants who completed their study more than two years before beginning their course of study at Gateway Business College may still meet English language proficiency requirements if they meet both of the following requirements:
  • The applicant has successfully completed (with assessment) a post-secondary qualification that lasted at least three years full time. The instruction and assessment must have been in English.
  • The applicant has lived since graduation in Australia or another country where English is the most commonly spoken language. In this case, proof of residency is required at the time of application.

All cases where an applicant has had prior study in English will be evaluated individually. Meeting the above criteria does not guarantee the applicant will meet the English language proficiency criteria.
