可以一邊修英文課程（ELICOS），一邊上正式的課程嗎？ / Is it feasible for students to take English courses (ELICOS) and take formal courses at the same time?
在學生英文程度若沒有達到一定水平就上正式課程，對他們的負擔反而增加，因此建議循序漸進，先修英文課程（ELICOS），等英文程度達到入學要求後，再進入所欲修的正式課程修讀。一般程度普通的學生約需20-30周英文課，但一切視個人學習狀況而定。
It is likely that a student will encounter overbalanced study loads when one’s English proficiency is beneath the required level. Hence, it is recommended for students to take English courses (ELICOS) to achieve the suggested competence level before enrolling in the formal course.

在澳洲念正式課程的英文要求為何？ / In order to be accepted in a formal course, what levels of English proficiency is required?
大致上，TAFE專校的英文要求為IELTS 5.5分以上；大學的基本要求為IELTS 6.0分或6.5分以上。但是一些入學競爭性較高或需要大量應用英文的科系入學標準會比上述高。

持有學生簽證的時候，可以合法打工嗎？ / Is it legal for student visa holders to work in Australia?
持學生簽證者在開學後可以合法每兩個星期打工40小時，假期中則沒有限制。若學生就讀碩士課程，學生簽證副申請人則沒有打工時數限制。不過留學目的主要還是學習，愛可蒂建議學生不應完全寄望以打工的薪資來支付生活費用，出國前還是要備有充足的費用！
You cannot work until you have commenced your course in Australia. A student visa allows visa holders and the dependent partner visa holders to work up to 40 hours per fortnight once the studying program has commenced and is in session and unrestricted hours when the program is not in session.

如果持觀光簽證可否在澳洲轉換成學生簽證？ / Is it attainable for onshore tourist visa holders to apply for student visa?
可以，但是由於在當地轉簽證需在澳洲完成體檢並另繳費用，如果程序上有誤差，可能會耽誤轉簽，反而不方便。費用也比在澳洲境外申請貴。因此，如果有打算長期在澳洲唸書，還是在出發前辦學生簽證為宜。
The brief answer is ‘yes’. However, to change the visa while in Australia, the applicants must complete the health examination involving higher fee payments, lengthy clinic schedules, and so on, where more variables may lead to the delay of the visa processing. Therefore, it is recommended to the prospective students to lodge the application before departing from your home country. 
持學生簽證修畢第一階段課程後，可否在當地直接延簽，繼續升學？ / Is it feasible for student visa holders to apply for another program and extend the visa while the first studying program is concluding?
可以，只要取得新的學校的入學許可證，即可在原學生簽證到期之前直接向當地的移民局提出延簽申請。
澳洲移民局規定學生只能夠在最初選讀的主要課程學習滿六個月結束之後才可以轉學；大學先修課程亦同。如果未滿六個月，則學生在該課程進行期間，皆不得變更學校。學生只有在特殊狀況下，可以在六個月的課程期間之內，申請變更就讀的學校。
Yes. Once obtaining the CoE (Confirmation of Enrolment) of a new course, student visa holders are welcomed to apply for the extension before the current visa expires. However, according to the Department of Home Affair, in most circumstances, the changes of education providers will be restricted if the student has not completed a minimum six months of the main course of study at a current institution for which the visa was granted.
校方是否有接機服務？ / Do schools/universities provide airport pickup services?

英文語文學校和專科學校絕大部份都無宿舍，但是在初抵澳洲時，校方可以協助安排住宿家庭或價廉的青年旅館暫居。大學雖大都有宿舍，但是空位有限，學生需提早申請。如果在入學時沒申請到，可以申請列入Waiting List，等到有空位再搬入。在大都市附近，住宿的花費每個星期約澳幣$150-250元左右，小都市的花費稍低。
Though most of the language schools and VET providers do not provide student accommodations, students will be assisted to source temporary living arrangements, such as homestay or economical hostels on arrival. While a variety of student accommodations will be available to university students, the vacancy is often limited where students must submit an application beforehand. The waiting list is also accessible in case of full occupancy. Renting for a single student in a metropolitan area in Australia will likely cost from AUD$ 150 to 250, while it is relatively cheaper in smaller cities.

TAFE和一般大學有何不同？ / What are the differences between TAFE and a regular university?
一般的大學提供一種全面性的知識教育，較重知識層面的累積，然而TAFE是澳洲高科技工作的原動力及主要教育訓練單位，它提供一種專業技能的訓練，教重視實務經驗的演練和累積，讓學生吸收更實際的知識和經驗，對整體工作生涯規劃有實際的幫助。
根據資料顯示，澳洲職業技術教育的學生和澳洲大學的學生比例為7：3，因此可以明瞭澳洲職業技術教育佔了極大比例。
Universities provide holistic academic education which focuses on knowledge accumulation, while TAFE plays a vital role to supply human resources to the technology-concentrated industrial sphere in Australia, which focuses on providing professional training with authentic practice, where career aspects of students are more valued.
According to the statistics, there are 70% of students who chose to study after secondary school is enrolled in VET institutions while university students only take up 30%, which indicates the importance of the VET body in Australia.
