Course Progress and Intervention Policy

Students at Advance English are monitored throughout their study. Teachers continually check student progress during their course to ensure that learners are reaching their desired learning outcomes. Teachers consider aspects such as a student’s attendance, attitude and willingness to participate, as well as their commitment to completing homework assignments, preparing and delivering oral presentations.

Students need to maintain a minimum overall course percentage in order to meet satisfactory course requirements. These benchmarks are below:

General English	Pass = < 60% in weekly assessments
EAP	Pass = < 50% overall in all assessments

Students who make insufficient progress will be monitored weekly throughout the course, and near the end of that course, students will be informed of their need to repeat the level if they have not achieved the required result. It is a requirement under the terms of the National Code (2018) that Advance English undertake an intervention strategy if a student has been identified as being at risk of failing to demonstrate satisfactory course progress

Student Complaints and Appeals Policy

Internal Appeal Process:

1. 1. If the student has a difficulty or complaint which they wish to discuss, they should first talk to their classroom teacher.

   2. If this discussion does not satisfy the student, they then can talk to the Academic Manager.

   3. If the Academic Manager is unable to help them with their difficulty or complaint, the student should request a meeting with the Principal Administrator of the college. If the student wishes, they can ask a friend to go with them for either language or moral support. At this stage in the grievance procedure, the student should complete a grievance form, this formalises their complaint. This procedure must begin within 10 working days of the lodgment of their grievance. Students are advised in writing of the outcome of their complaint and Advance English implements any decisions and/or corrective and preventative actions required. During this process, Advance English will maintain the student’s enrolment whilst the grievance process is ongoing (See National Code Standard 8).

External Appeal Process:

If Internal Appeal Process is unsuccessful, then students are able to approach Overseas Student Ombudsman service as External Appeal Process. Please visit www.oso.gov.au available for further information. The above process does not negate your rights to take action under Australia’s consumer protection laws in the case of financial disputes or to pursue other legal remedies.
