Once the documents as stated in Step 2 have been received, the applicant will need to complete the Course Entry Requirement Test (CERT) to assess the student’s existing skills and knowledge; this test may be waived if the applicant completed a Qualification that is closely related to the course. The student will also need to complete the Language, Literacy, and Numeracy (LLN) test to identify if someone needs additional support to successfully complete a course due to potential gaps in their abilities. KII may also need to ensure the Digital competency of the applicant.

Once the student has completed the CERT, Digital Literacy and LLN, these will then be reviewed along with feedback (if applicable) and student will be notified via email. All applications shall be received via email.

KII will review the application for enrolment, the results for CERT, Digital literacy and LLN Test, and if found eligible, the applicant will be sent a Letter of Offer and Student Agreement with an invoice of outlining the “initial fees” (refundable) you will be required to pay and an enrolment fee of $300 (non-refundable) to ensure a position for the student in the next intake. The letter of Offer is valid for 28 calendar days only. After this date, the position will be offered to another applicant. It is important to note that the offer made by KII is conditional based on the student meeting the minimum requirements for the course.

The letter of offer will
• Advise the course name, content and duration of the course in which the student is to be enrolled and any conditions on his or her enrolment
• Provide an itemised list of course money payable by the student (Summary of Fees)
• Set out the circumstances in which personal information about the student may be shared between KII and the designated authorities and, if relevant, the Tuition Assurance Scheme and the ESOS Assurance Fund Manager. This information includes personal and contact details, course enrolment details and changes, and the circumstance of any suspected breach by the student of a student visa condition
• Advise the student of his or her obligation to notify KII of a change of address within 7 days while enrolled in the course
• Include information of any arrangements with another registered provider, person or business to provide the course or part of the course if applicable
• Advise indicative course-related fees including advice on the potential for fees to change during the student’s course and applicable refund policies
• Include information about the grounds on which the student’s enrolment may be deferred, suspended, withdrawn or cancelled
• Include a brief description of the ESOS framework made available electronically by DHA, ESOS Legislative Framework

To accept the offer, the student must agree to the terms and conditions of the Letter of Offer, complete, sign and return it to KII. The signed agreement must be received before the student offer expires. The student is also required to provide a payment receipt with the amount indicated as payable in the offer letter from the total tuition fees for successful admission to a program. These documents must be submitted to the KII agent or representative. If the student is applying onshore, they are also required to supply a copy of their personal details and a copy of a valid student visa and a copy of their OSHC card.
The Agent, KII Representative or onshore international students should submit the Student Agreement and supporting documents via mail, or email with evidence of the full invoiced payment to:

Once all required documentation and payment have been received, KII will send the student the following items:

• An electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCOE)
• Confirmation of course commencement details
• Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) information (if organised by KII)
• Student Visa / Travel / Accommodation Confirmation Form

These documents shall be sent to the student’s nominated email address. The student may also nominate to have these document sent to the agent.

Upon receiving the electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCOE), the student can apply for a Student Visa (subclass 500).

You must apply for this visa online. After you have gathered and scanned the documents that support your application, create an IMMI account and apply for your student visa with the online application system – ImmiAccount on Department of Home Affairs website (www.homeaffairs.gov.au). Students may opt to use services of a registered migration agent or an agent to lodge the visa application on their behalf.

Students must notify KII at the earliest possible the outcome of visa application. Students whose visas have been granted are required to arrange their own travel and temporary accommodation for their initial period in Australia (until permanent accommodation can be established). Once these arrangements have been made, the student is requested to notify KII of the following:

• Confirmation of Student Visa (subclass 500)
• Confirmation of temporary accommodation including address, as well as Confirmation of travel booking and the planned arrival time, carrier, airport, etc.
• Phone number of a relative, a friend or a contact in Australia
