Attendance requirements

Students studying in Australia on a student visa must meet all attendance requirements (minimum 80% attendance). If a student is ill and unable to attend class, they must get a medical certificate from a qualified medical practitioner and provide this to their class teacher. Attendance is monitored by the college and students receive warning letters if their attendance is at risk of dropping.

Our ELICOS General English course is an excellent starting point for students who wish to improve their ability to communicate and understand the language clearly, whether for work, socialising or with the aim of completing further study. General English is suited to both short-term students (such as backpackers and tourists) as well as long-term students and those who wish to live and work in Australia.

English levels offered within the program include:

  • Elementary
  • Pre-intermediate
  • Intermediate
  • Upper-intermediate

Students intending to complete further study may opt to join our English of Academic Purposes (EAP) course.

Classes are offered year-round at all 4 levels of study (Elementary, Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate & Upper-intermediate). Students spend an average of 12 weeks at each level of study before progressing to the next level. To ensure their success, students need to be proactiveand engaged learners, complete assigned homework and assignments, work closely with their class teacher and attend classes on a regular basis (see attendance requirements). Upon successful completion of the program, students have the option of graduating or moving into further academic English programs (such as English for Academic Purposes).

  • Students will sit regular tests throughout each 12-week course, as well as completing a final summative test at the end of each level
  • Students are assessed on their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills
  • Our assessment process follows ELICOS guidelines and is valid and fair

Attention Students!

We would like to inform you about a recent surge in cyber scams. Your security is of utmost importance to us, and we want to ensure that you stay safe from potential threats.

Scammers have been employing sophisticated tactics to deceive individuals and steal sensitive information. It’s essential to be vigilant and cautious when dealing with online communications and transactions.

For IHM’s students, it’s good to know that IHM’s bank account details are not shared through email. Instead, the information is accessible through the secure Student Hub under Student Invoice & Payment. This method ensures that only authorised users with secure login credentials can access and view the information.

Additionally, making payments through the IHM website provides another secure option for transactions, ensuring that personal and financial details are handled in a safe and protected environment.

For any questions or concerns related to payments or account details, students should reach out to IHM directly through official contact channels (ihmaccounts@ihm.edu.au) to ensure the highest level of security and privacy.
