We do have on-campus accommodation at some of our regional campuses. For students studying at our metropolitan Institutes we recommend that they book temporary accommodation for the first few weeks or homestay accommodation for the first month after arrival. This will allow students time to make longer term accommodation decisions. To book homestay accommodation please contact our accommodation provider Australian Homestay Network (AHN) at www. homestaynetwork. org Underage students Students who wish to commence study at a TAFE Institute must be over 18 or turning 18 in the same semester that they commence their course. Whilst a student is under the age of 18 they are required to have a local guardian until they turn 18. If the student intends to live with a relative in Perth the relative can nominate to be the guardian. If the student does not nominate a relative, then ETI requires students to live in homestay accommodation organised by AHN. Once this accommodation is arranged, ETI will issue the welfare letter (CAAW) and act as the local guardian for the student. Rental accommodation Many students choose to rent an apartment or house with other students. A typical four-bedroom house in Perth is currently renting at around $400 per week. A two-bedroom apartment rents for $300 — $350 per week. Students who are sharing these costs need to budget for around $150 per week to cover their share of the rent plus electricity and gas. For more information on available rentals please visit the following real estate websites: www. reiwa. com. au or www. realestate. com. au Temporary accommodation Students can choose backpacker hostels from $30 per night or budget hotels from $100 per night. There is a large range of temporary accommodation offered in Perth which students can search for through the internet and book online. Homestay Homestay is when students choose to live with an Australian family. This is very popular because students make Australian friends, embrace the Australian lifestyle and improve their English. Homestay costs between $245 — $265 per week depending on age and level of service. There is also a homestay placement fee of $200. Bookings must be made at least two weeks in advance. Late bookings will incur additional fees. Homestay options are: ï�® Full service — $265 per week, includes 3 meals per day. ï�® Half service — $245 per week, includes 2 meals per day. The fee also includes laundry, snacks, electricity and gas. For more information about homestay and to make a booking contact Australian Homestay Network (AHN) at www. homestaynetwork. org 2012 INTERNATIONAL COURSE GUIDE Airport pickup Airport pickup can be arranged at a cost of $90 and will take students directly to their homestay family or temporary accommodation. Please contact AHN (www. homestaynetwork. org) to organise this service. A taxi from the airport to central Perth costs approximately $50. An airport bus ($20) is also available and can drop passengers at central city hotels. Getting started Students should arrive in Perth with at least $1, 000 and have access to another $2, 000 during their first few weeks for expenses associated with organising housing.

Information about all the courses offered to international students at TAFE can be found at www. eti. wa. edu. au All the courses offered by TAFE to international students are registered on the Australian Government Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) and are full-time. Full-time study at TAFE is generally 20 hours of training per week across three to four days. TAFE has very flexible entry. Most students will be eligible to enter a TAFE course at some level as long as they meet the basic academic requirements and English language level. Students who do not meet the required English standard can study ELICOS (English) at TAFE prior to the start of their main course. TAFE courses are generally made up of connecting courses that build on each other (pathways). There are often two or more entry points (year 10 and year 12) and students can exit the course at the completion of any stage. The example below is typical of a TAFE course structure. In this example, students who have the equivalent of Australian Year 12 will complete the Diploma level in 1 year. If a student has a lower education level then they commence at the Certificate III level and will complete the Diploma in 1. 5 years. We suggest that when filling out the application form, students enter the highest level of the course they wish to complete eg: Diploma of Business and we will work out the best and most appropriate pathway for you. Online Delivery As learning styles vary across the Campuses, there may be some courses that will now include an online delivery component as part of the course delivery. Students will have access to computers and resources at the campus they attend as part of this learning strategy. More information will be made available at Orientation Day or students can contact the campus direct for more specific information.
