The information includes details on how the College or Education and Migration Agents may assist you with the application process. Details of opportunities available to students on how to get their previous qualifications and/ or skills recognised is also provided.


Students must read the Student Handbook and Legend Institute website in full. Students are encouraged to contact the college at info@legendinstitute.edu.au or Ph: +61 03 8609 1739 if you are unsure about any information included in the Handbook or have any questions. If you have an education agent, they may also be able to assist you with any enquiry.


Students are also encouraged to undertake research on living and studying in Australia prior to submitting an application.


Education Agents

Education agents promote various Australian education programs and institutions internationally and are a good way for students to apply to study in Australia. Agents are experienced in assisting with international student applications and applying for visas.


Most speak both English and the local language so this makes the application process a lot simpler and generally hassle free for students and parents. Most do not charge for their service as they collect a commission from the institution you choose to attend. However, some agents do charge small amounts or offer additional services for which they charge.


Although able to assist in completing education and visa applications, Education agents are not licensed to provide migration advice.



Migration Agents

A migration agent can assist students with submitting their visa application and communicate with DIBP on their behalf. Please note that students do not need to use a migration agent to lodge any kind of visa application.



Access & equity

Legend Institute staff treats all students fairly, equally and without discrimination. All staff activities and practice is guided by our Code of Conduct. Legend Institute provides access and equity to students with special learning needs.


As special needs extend to more than identified physical or learning difficulties, our trainers also consider the best approach when dealing with students with needs such as low literacy, lack of confidence or non-English speaking background.


Legend Institute trainers take special needs into consideration from the planning stage onwards and can adopt delivery and assessment methods as appropriate and if feasible.



Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

All applicants are provided with the opportunity to have their prior learning and experience assessed and gain recognition for this. This experience may have been gained from employment, previous formal training undertaken or life experiences. The RPL process will match an applicant’s experience to the requirements in a unit of competency and assess if recognition can be granted.


Applicants may apply for RPL by submitting evidence of competency against the unit of competency requirements. The RPL application form is available on request from the Training Manager.



Credit Transfer

Legend Institute recognises qualifications and statements of attainment issued by other Australian Registered Training Organisations (RTO’s). Students who have successfully completed whole units of competency contained within one of our courses with another Australian RTO can apply for credit transfer. Credit Transfer applications are processed free of charge.


Students may apply for Credit Transfer by submitting a Credit Transfer application form along with original certificates/ statements of attainment to the Training Manager. The CT/RPL application form is available on request from the Training Manager.


Further information on the RPL/ CT process can be accessed by contacting the Training Manager.


** Please note that RPL and CT applications can only be considered for whole units of competency.


The RPL & Credit Transfer processes allow students to reduce the time and study load associated with achieving a qualification.
