Education counselling FAQs
Do I need an education counsellor to apply?
No. You can apply to a provider directly. A counsellor helps you compare options, avoid courses that do not fit your plans and prepare a stronger visa application.
Can you help if I am already in Australia?
Yes. We help students who want to change course or provider, move to a higher qualification or plan their next visa.
Which providers do you work with?
We work with a wide range of universities, TAFEs and colleges across Australia, and we always explain why a course suits you before you apply.
What is a pathway course?
A pathway course, such as an English (ELICOS), foundation or diploma program, prepares you for a degree when you do not yet meet its entry requirements. Some providers offer entry into the degree if you pass at the required level.
Can I study online from overseas?
Some courses let you start online. Study done online from outside Australia generally does not count towards the Australian study requirement for a Temporary Graduate visa, so check how online study affects your plans before you enrol.
What does an education counsellor do?
An education counsellor helps you choose a course and provider that fit your goals, budget and visa plans. Our counsellors also check entry requirements, help with your application and offer letter, and work with our immigration solicitors on your student visa.
