At Navitas English, we can help you create the right course combination for your learning goals and your English language level.
We have courses for every language learning goal – students who want to get better at conversation, and students who want a packaged pathway to higher education in Australia.
It’s important that you apply for a course that suits your language level.
If you want to apply for an Academic English, Cambridge or IELTS course, you need to meet minimum English level requirements. You will need to take a pre-test to make sure you have the right English level for your course.
We can arrange a Navitas English Versant test with your education agent in your home country – or if you are already in Australia, you can take the test at a Navitas English school. Alternatively, you can provide your recent IELTS, TOEFL, PTE Academic or Cambridge results to prove your English level. Official test scores are valid for entry to Navitas English courses provided the score meets the entry requirement and the date of the test score and the course commencement date is no more than 2 years. Note that students’ exact English language levels may vary due to the date of the official test score and how much English language learning has been experienced since the test. This may mean additional study and language support for some students during their course.
We offer General English courses for all levels of English learners. Classes range from elementary (CEFR A1) through to advanced (CEFR C1 or IELTS 7.0). Download the CEFR and IELTS map.
On your first day of class you will sit a day one placement test to make sure you are in the right class for your English proficiency level.
