Placement testing
RMIT English Worldwide reserves the right to conduct a placement test on arrival to assess your level of English. This may affect the duration of your English course if the result shows you need more or fewer weeks than originally offered. This, in turn, may affect timely entry into future courses. IELTS results are valid for 12 months for entry in to an RMIT English Worldwide program.

What you need to know
Academic English Program Overview
The English for Academic Purposes program (Program CRICOS Code 076733A), delivered by RMIT English Worldwide, consists of six levels from Elementary to Advanced Plus. Each level uses both classroom based learning and online learning.
Entry requirements
We will place you in a class that matches your most recent IELTS or other recognised English language proficiency test results, which can be no more than 12 months old. We may also test you when you arrive to confirm your level of English. If we assess you at a different level than the one provided in your application, you may need to study more or fewer weeks than originally offered. This may affect when you can start the next program you had planned to study.
If you do not have an IELTS score (or English test equivalent) you can sit a placement test at RMIT English Worldwide. Contact your RMIT agent or RMIT Training to arrange a placement test.
