SLS News – May 2011

On 20th May 2011, the Australian Minister of Education and Citizenship, Chris Bowen announced a significant change in the English language test options for international student visa applicants.

In addition to the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) used currently, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic) and the Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) from Cambridge ESOL will be used for applicants from all countries. However, IELTS will continue as the test required for the growth category of skilled migrants sponsored by employers. Already some have welcomed additional test options because they will speed up the assessment process.
