Secure English Language Test (SELT) Requirement:
To be accepted at the ISC, you must have a secure English Language test (SELT) qualification, for example IELTS (International English Language Testing System) or TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). If you don't have a current SELT qualification, you may still apply to the ISC, but you cannot confirm your place or pay any fees until you provide the required SELT qualification. If you don't have a current IELTS or TOEFL grade, please contact us to find out about alternative assessment of your English language level.
All students' English and numeracy skills will be tested on arrival, and study plans may be altered accordingly. (This may incur additional costs).
