Australian Institute of Language (AIL) is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and CRICOS-registered education provider in Melbourne’s CBD, with two additional campuses in Box Hill and Brighton (MILC) for students under 18.
AIL specialises in high-quality English language programs, including General English, English for Academic Purposes and IELTS Preparation. We also offer Primary and High School Preparation (PSP and HSP) programs to help younger learners develop their English and prepare for Australian mainstream schools.
AIL is an official test centre for IELTS, TOEFL iBT and LanguageCert, an AEAS official course partner, and a NAATI-endorsed provider of the Diploma of Interpreting and Advanced Diploma of Translating. We also maintain strong relationships with more than 20 Victorian independent schools through our ELICOS and school pathway programs.
With students from over 40 countries and regions, AIL offers a diverse, welcoming learning environment. Our qualified teachers, including VIT-registered teachers across most PSP and HSP classes, are committed to helping every student achieve their English, academic and career goals.
Our PSP, HSP and AEAS courses help international students get ready for primary and secondary school in Australia.
You can take IELTS at our Melbourne CBD and Box Hill test centres, TOEFL iBT in the CBD, and LanguageCert Academic at Box Hill.
Students from all around the world, each with their own powerful story to tell. We recognise that studying is only one part of life, which is why we encourage our students to explore all the big lessons that come from living, working and learning in Australia. No matter who you are or where you come from, AIL welcomes you to learn, grow and turn your passion into a career.
Finding somewhere to live is probably one of your greatest concerns on arrival. AIL is pleased to assist you in locating accommodation but it is up to you to make the necessary arrangements and decisions. If you have recently arrived in Melbourne, we can provide advice when inspecting accommodation.
Once you have found your accommodation, try and give as much notice as possible before checking out of your temporary accommodation. If there are two or three of you moving together call one of the taxi companies and ask for a station wagon to transport your luggage.
Victoria has a fantastic public transport network. We have Trains (Metro or V-Line), Trams (Yarra Trams or City Circle), and Buses.
It’s easy to drive or cycle in Melbourne as an international student. However, there are certain rules you need to obey in order to travel safely not just for you, but also for the community.
Each public hospital has a 24 Hour Emergency and Casualty department where you may seek help after hours and during weekends. Expect to wait a long time to see a doctor at a public hospital unless of course it is an emergency. You should check whether your OSHC provider covers out-patient treatment.
The main types of financial institutions in Australia offering banking and financial services are banks, credit unions and building societies.
Finding part-time employment in a different country is a daunting experience, but with a little research and patience you may be able to find a part-time job to suit you. The job must not interfere with your course as studying is your number one priority.
While living away from family and friends, students often gain support and comfort through their religion. For some, finding spiritual guidance may be a simple matter of locating where and when gatherings and services are held.
