To be eligible for a VET Student Loan, you must be academically suited to the course you’re planning to do.
Who decides whether I’m academically suited?
Your course provider will decide whether you’re academically suited to do the course you’re applying for.
You’ll need to give your course provider one (or more) of these:
- your Australian Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (year 12 certificate), or
- your International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) diploma, or
- a certificate for a course (taught in English) at Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Level 4 or above.
You may also be required to take a Language, Literacy, and Numeracy (LLN) test. The course provider will conduct this test and notify you of your result. Your test result must show that you’re competent at Exit Level 3 in the Australian Core Skills Framework in both reading and numeracy.
The course training provider must also reasonably believe you show competence to complete the particular course.
