Application Process

1. FIND A COURSE

​You can choose from a variety of English Language courses. Visit the Courses page for further information. Read our pre-enrolment information guide for details about what you need to know before you decide on your course & international student guide to learn more about life in Sydney, Australia. Also please read all about our fees. 

2. CHECK THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

All applicants can study at Kingsway Institute in the calendar year they are turning 18. WE DO NOT TEACH STUDENTS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE. There are no English or Academic entry requirements to begin our General English program. However, IELTS Preparation and English for Academic Purposes courses have specific Admission and English proficiency requirements. These are listed with each course on our Course page.

Make sure that you can meet the entry requirements of your chosen course before you proceed to the next step in the application process.

Students should also be aware that there are deadlines for accepting offers and making the fee payment. CoEs will not be issued after the cut off date. This is to ensure that students have a reasonable time to get their visa and arrive in time for orientation and the start of classes.

3. SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION

You can apply to study English at Kingsway Institute Sydney Campus by completing your Application Online. You can also download the Kingsway Application Form along with the SSVF Form and follow the process described below. 

Apply using an Education Agent: 

You can apply directly, or you can apply through one of Kingsway's approved education agents. You pay the same fees whether you apply directly to us or through one of our agents. However, we do offer special promotional prices from time to time. If you wish to know more about these specials you can either contact our official agents or our marketing department. 

Many students choose to apply directly, especially as they can use this website to find all the information they need and submit their applications online. Other students want to use Agents to assist them in preparing and submitting their study and visa applications. If you do not already have an agent, you can find an approved Kingsway agent using our Agent List. Our agents are professional, and they need to know all the regulations. Especially they need to know your rights as per the National Code of Practise 2018 and ESOS Act. Please check how we check our agents. 

Applications submitted online by agents also receive priority processing.

Receive your Letter of Offer:

Once we have received your application and supporting documentation, we will assess your eligibility to study your selected course(s). If eligible and there are places available we will send you a Letter of Offer. This letter will be sent to you directly, or through the agent, you have nominated according to your instructions on the application form.

If we have not received all of the required supporting documentation from you, for example,  certified copies of certificates etc., then your Letter of Offer will have conditions listed noting the information you still need to provide.

Please note your place is subject to availability at the time of acceptance and payment.

You must allow sufficient time before your program starts to obtain your visa and make arrangements to come to Sydney in Australia. Each country has different criteria for applying for a student visa. You should acknowledge that the application process may take up to 3 months. 

4. ACCEPT YOUR OFFER AND PAY

To accept your offer, you must return your signed Acceptance Letter with:

Supporting documentation that you were requested to supply, in your Letter of Offer (i.e. conditions)

• Payment of your schedule of fees, as indicated on your Letter of Offer

5. RECEIVE YOUR CONFIRMATION OF ENROLMENT (COE) AND APPLY FOR YOUR STUDENT VISA

Subject to the availability of places after you have signed and returned the Letter of Acceptance, made full payment and met any conditions, we will provide you with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) which you will need in order to apply for a Student Visa at the Australian High Commission or Embassy in your country. You must have a student visa in order to enter Australia and commence your studies.

All details, including the process of the student visa, are available via websites of the Department of Home Affairs.  

If you need help obtaining your visa and other aspects of moving to Australia, which may be best provided in your own country or language, then you might like to use the services of one of Kingsway's approved agents. 

6. RECEIVE YOUR VISA AND COME TO AUSTRALIA TO COMMENCE YOUR STUDIES

When your student visa has been granted, you are ready to come to Sydney, Australia, to begin your course. You must arrive in Australia prior to the commencement of your course, or your enrolment may be deferred to the next available intake, and you may have to return home.
