The applicant is also assessed to determine whether they meet the required entry level competencies for the particular qualification in which the student wants to enroll.

Once the fee is received by ICTM along with signed student agreemnt an Electronic Confirmation of Offer will be generated and sent to the Australian Student Visa issuing centre to facilitate the issuing of a student visa.
