*On 26 July 2023 the TOEFL internet-based test (TOEFL iBT) stopped offering English language tests for Australian visa purposes. A score for a TOEFL iBT test taken on or after 26 July 2023 will no longer satisfy the English language requirement for Student visa purposes. Only TOEFL iBT scores from a test taken on or before 25 July 2023 are accepted for Student visa purposes.

**From 12 February 2024, only results from the paper-based Cambridge C1 Advanced test (previously known as Cambridge English: Advanced CAE) will be accepted for Australian visa and migration purposes. Test scores for both C1 Advanced paper-based and computer-based tests, taken before 12 February 2024, within the specified validity period are still accepted.

Pre-Training Review All students will undertake a pre-training review, which aims to identify their training needs through questions on previous education or training, basic computing skills, and an interview conducted by a BLC enrolment officer. The interview also aims to identify possible RPL opportunities. Through pre-training review, students will demonstrate that they have the necessary skills to complete the course.
Language, Literacy and Numerancy Tests All students are required to undertake a Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) test mapped to ACSF through the Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) Robot to identify if a student requires BLC to provide any additional support. The expected Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) outcome is ACSF Level 2 for Certificate IV in Business. This is not an entry requirement but is designed to determine if a student has any specific Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) support needs in the context of VET training and has a different purpose to the English entry requirements which are assessed prior to offering a student a place in a course. The results of the Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) test are provided to the trainer who can further advise the student if they require additional Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) support to successfully achieve the course outcomes. If learners do not meet English and Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) requirements, learners will be asked to take further Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLN&D) training e.g. English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Learners (ELICOS) programs with BLC.
