Hibernia Institute holds current membership of a Tuition Assurance Scheme approved by the VET Regulator. This scheme ensures that if Hibernia Institute is unable to provide services for which the learner has prepaid:

1. the learner will be placed into an equivalent course such that:
   • the new location is geographically close to where the learner had been enrolled; and
   • the learner receives the full services for which they have prepaid at no additional cost to the learner; or
2. if an equivalent course cannot be found, the learner is paid a refund of any prepaid fees for services yet to be delivered above the threshold prepaid fee amount.

Applicants who are unable to provide current documentation attesting their English proficiency levels, will be tested before they can enrol in the course.

The following testing procedures apply:

Students have to sit for an English test at Hibernia Institute, designed specifically to establish the following English competencies:

• Syntax and grammar,
• Reading comprehension,
• Descriptive writing/free-style essay and/or a business-oriented essay,
• Listening to ordinary and academic spoken English,
• Speaking – a brief topic-oriented discussion.

The test is marked on the principles of the IELTS band score to establish a student’s competence to study in an academic environment. Students who already have a satisfactory IELTS score and who are found to experience difficulty with the English language are counselled by the Director of Studies to undertake further studies or remedial studies in English (ESL) for an appropriate duration. The participants for each program offered by the college will be selected in a manner that reflects equal access and equity principles.
