Enrollment Process

Enquiry

The student is advised to do some research about living in Australia and about the subject that they want to study. They also need to make sure that the qualification is in line with their professional development needs. Once they are happy with the course, tuition fee, location of the campus, meet all the minimum requirements to enrol in the course and meet the visa requirements, they may proceed to Step 2. Each student should also read the Student Handbook on the QIBA website.

Application

The student will then complete the application form and send it to QIBA along with certified copies of their:
1. English proficiency certificate
2. Academic transcripts and certificates
3. Passport
4. Copy of their current visa (if applicable)
5. OSHC Membership details (if applicable)
6. RPL/Credit Transfer Application (if applicable)

QIBA will assess the application and send an outcome to the student or to their nominated agent. If the student qualifies, an offer letter, which will also include the request for payment, will be sent to the student or their nominated agent.

NOTE: In an instance where QIBA needs to wait for any documents, a conditional offer letter will be sent first. A Full Offer Letter will be sent once all the required documents have been received.

After the offer letter has been received by the student, they need to send further documents to QIBA which must include:

  • Signed Offer Letter and Declaration Form (written agreement)
  • Proof of payment of the tuition fees
