AEAS is pleased to announce the appointment of Elite College of English as the Official AEAS Course Provider in New South Wales. AEAS offers two preparation courses, designed to support students to transition into the Australian classroom, and with ECE's modern facilities in Sydney and small class sizes, students receive a personalised learning experience to set them up for success.
With growing demand for our testing services, we’re thrilled to have expanded our Operations Team over the New Year period to ensure we continue delivering the outstanding service that schools, agents, families, and students know and trust.
The quality of Australian schools is second to none, and studying at school level provides international students with a smoother pathway into the most highly sought after higher education institutions. Despite much uncertainty, schools continue to provide excellent educational experiences for the almost 18,000 international students in their care.
The changes being made by the Australian Government to Australia's international education industry have been widely reported and there are more to come. While many of these will prove challenging for tertiary students, the good news is the school sector remains more or less untouched by these changes.
Aside from testing, one of AEAS' other core services for Australian schools is in-country marketing events. For over 30 years, AEAS events have been a key engagement platform for Australian schools to market to international families and education agents, are preferred because of their school-sector only focus and excellent value for money.
The introduction of literacy corequisites in 2024 by the New Zealand government will have significant impacts upon long-term international students seeking university entrance. Schools in New Zealand are increasingly asking for an AEAS Report to ensure students can meet the requirements and achieve academic success.
With strongly growing demand, and even more Australian and New Zealand schools introducing AEAS Testing requirements, we have expanded access to AEAS Testing in key locations around the world to ensure students, parents and agents enjoy the most seamless experience when preparing their applications.
Australian schools don't just enrol 500-student visa holders. Students come from a range of different backgrounds and educational systems, including Permanent and Temporary Residents, citizens who have been living overseas, and all other visa holders. Does your school properly understand these students' abilities? Is your school adequately resourced to support these students?
The AEAS Team has recently returned from a highly successful series of Australian school events in Thailand and Vietnam. 25 Australian schools joined the AEAS-organised parent exhibitions and agent workshops in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok over the space of two weekends in September.
There are many options for parents seeking an international experience for their child, and the number of international schools is also rapidly growing. So how do you choose between a local international school and sending your child overseas for high school?
