Pearson Test of English Preparation

Yes, all international students must possess a current student visa while they are studying any courses in Australia. You must have been accepted to study full-time by Keystone College of Business and Technology before applying for a student visa.

If you are an international student currently enrolled and attending classes, you may work up to 48 hours per fortnight while your course is in session, and full-time hours during scheduled course breaks. However, you should not rely on part-time work to support your studies, as the amount you earn will be unlikely to cover all your living costs.

Yes, Australian student visa requirements include a condition that you must maintain Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) while in Australia for the duration of your visa. KCBT can organise OSHC on your behalf, and further details will be provided in your Letter of Offer.

To maintain your visa, you must study full-time while in Australia, attend at least 80% of all scheduled classes (ELICOS), maintain satisfactory academic progress, maintain a valid enrolment at KCBT, advise KCBT within seven days if you change your Australian address, have enough money to cover tuition fees and living expenses, and maintain valid Overseas Student Health Cover.

Prospective international students intending to study in Australia must obtain a student visa from an Australian High Commission, embassy or consulate in their home country before travelling. Some students can also apply for an Australian visa online. To find out if you are eligible, visit https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/. KCBT has also appointed a number of representatives in various countries who can assist you with your application.
