Students successfully completing their course of study receive a Record of Achievement, a Final Report and a Qualification Certificate at the end of the course. To be considered for admission to first year university, students must pass all subjects with a minimum grade point average of 50%. Diploma students receive equivalent credits at first year university level.

ACCREDITATION Phoenix Academy is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and is registered under the Australian Skills Quality Authority. Each course that the Academy delivers is nationally recognised and accredited. Students who undertake the University Pathway Studies Course (Certificate IV in Adult Tertiary Preparation) are able to enter any Australian university into Commerce, Liberal Arts or General Health and Science disciplines.

Exemptions/CREDIT at University Successful completion of the University Pathway Studies course will enable students to enter first year at a number of Australian universities. Some advanced level students may be permitted to undertake some Diploma of Business units during their University Pathway Studies course. These Diploma units are recognised as being equivalent to first year university units by universities and advanced standing or credit will therefore be awarded.

“The best thing about the Phoenix University Pathway program is, it allowed me to fast track my studies. I enrolled in the year 11/12 program after finishing year 10 in Thailand. But with my good grades, I managed to fast track my studies from 1.5 years to only 1 year! My classmates came from Africa, China, Hong Kong, and none the less, Australia. The teachers were very helpful and friendly throughout the course. I studied 3 years in Computer Science at Murdoch University. During my studies, I worked part time as an Assistant Programmer for the Center for Comparative Genomics, where I’ve gained valuable knowledge and experience. I’m 19 years old now and I have completed a Bachelor of Computer Science at Murdoch University, putting me 2 years ahead of most of my peers. I would encourage anyone who is ready for a challenge to join the University Pathway Studies Program because you will definitely see the reward at the end of this journey!” Ploy Tangtulyangkul, Thailand

University Pathway

FAST TRACK STUDY Phoenix Academy offers a four-semester year of which any two consecutive semesters must be completed to achieve the Diploma. Semesters commence in January, April, July and October of each year and like university semesters they are each of 12 weeks duration. With four entry dates per year students have the option to enter the Diploma course when it is convenient.

FLEXIBLE COURSE DELIVERY Diploma units are delivered twice a year - during the first half (Semester 1 & 2) and the second half (Semester 3 & 4) to allow for university entrance twice yearly.

COURSE ACCREDITATIONS AND RECOGNITION All Phoenix Academy courses are registered on the Australian Government Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). The Diploma of Business is a qualification within the Australian Qualifications Framework and is accredited by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).

I really enjoyed my time at Phoenix. The academic support I received was very individual, personal and motivating. The teachers were able to provide a wide variety of experience and real life scenarios. The Diploma of Business has really helped me in my university studies. So far everything I have learned at Phoenix has made my life at university (in England) really easy - in terms of academic challenges. I have to say I got a really good knowledge out of the course. I will never forget my stay in Australia - the incredible kindness of the people. Especially my supportive host-family made my life down under such a wonderful experience. Also some of the adventures I had - I hired a camper van and travelled along the west coast of Australia, great fun. Advice for any others that are thinking of coming to Australia - bring a lot of sun block. Try to experience as much as possible. Go travelling when possible. If there isn´t a good public transport service in your region, get a car straight away. As the used car market is very active you can sell it at the end of your stay anyway.

With 4 commencement dates and a ‘blended delivery mode’ that combines 15 hours faceto-face classes with 5 hours online self-paced learning, student can easily program their study around their busy lifestyle or work commitments. Another bonus is a choice of study duration - depending on student’s focus and their visa status they can choose between a 6-month intensive course or an extended 1 year program.

I found during my time at Phoenix that is was really organised, nice people who are always willing to help students. I studied the Diploma of Business, I was very happy; I never had such good teachers in Italy. The course exceeded my expectations; I really learned skills that I can use in real work and life. It really helped me in my job – I started working in hospitailty and now I am a supervisor. Studying in Perth is great too - safe and full of opportunity. The food at the supermarket is less expensive than Italy, going out is a bit more expensive but the hourly rate for your job is higher. There are lots of outdoor activities, the beaches are great for relaxing. I loved driving a four-wheel drive to Monkey Mia. My advice to others considering coming to study here is: “what are you waiting for?”. Tatiana Frascella (Italian), Age: 28 years
