There are no specific educational prerequisites for entry into this course, as entry into this level is based on assessment of English language proficiency. All students will complete the Oxford Online Placement Test. The outcome on their scores for reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar will determine the level students should start at and the recommended duration. Alternatively, students can progress or enter based on a passing grade in the immediately preceding General English level. Other English language proficiency tests such as IELTS, Cambridge, PTE and TOEFL may be taken into consideration when placing students. Students must be at least 18 years of age.

After passing ELICOS General English course, students may be able to pathway into an academic English course such as IELTS, EAP or undertake studies at a higher education level, at an RTO, TAFE or university.

Successful completion of this course may allow the student to study other ELICOS courses such as English for Academic Purposes or Vocational Education and Training or Higher Education courses.
