Australian Institute of Language (AIL)

Australian Institute of Language (AIL) is a Registered Training Organisation and CRICOS provider located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. We are proud to be a NEAS quality-endorsed centre, a NAATI-endorsed course provider, an AEAS official course partner, an ETS TOEFL authorised test centre, and one of the largest IELTS test centres in Australasia, offering both computer-delivered and paper-based tests.

AIL offers a wide range of programs, including ELICOS courses such as General English, IELTS Preparation, and English for Academic Purposes (EAP), as well as nationally recognised qualifications including the Diploma of Interpreting and Advanced Diploma of Translating.

Our diverse student community represents 36 countries and regions worldwide. At AIL, students not only learn together but also share their cultures, build connections, and make lifelong friendships. Our teachers are highly qualified and experienced, holding TESOL and CELTA credentials — but most importantly, they are passionate about helping students achieve their goals.

We are committed to delivering the highest standards of education and support, with a strong focus on student success and long-term outcomes. Our mission is to help students build their skills, performance, and confidence, preparing them to contribute productively, responsibly, and ethically in their future careers.

STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Students from all around the world, each with their own powerful story to tell. We recognise that studying is only one part of life, which is why we encourage our students to explore all the big lessons that come from living, working and learning in Australia. No matter who you are or where you come from, AIL welcomes you to learn, grow and turn your passion into a career.

Accommodation

Finding somewhere to live is probably one of your greatest concerns on arrival. AIL is pleased to assist you in locating accommodation but it is up to you to make the necessary arrangements and decisions. If you have recently arrived in Melbourne, we can provide advice when inspecting accommodation.

Moving In

Once you have found your accommodation, try and give as much notice as possible before checking out of your temporary accommodation. If there are two or three of you moving together call one of the taxi companies and ask for a station wagon to transport your luggage.

Private Transport

It’s easy to drive or cycle in Melbourne as an international student. However, there are certain rules you need to obey in order to travel safely not just for you, but also for the community.

Health and Medical

Each public hospital has a 24 Hour Emergency and Casualty department where you may seek help after hours and during weekends. Expect to wait a long time to see a doctor at a public hospital unless of course it is an emergency. You should check whether your OSHC provider covers out-patient treatment.

Employment

Finding part-time employment in a different country is a daunting experience, but with a little research and patience you may be able to find a part-time job to suit you. The job must not interfere with your course as studying is your number one priority.

Religious Organisations

While living away from family and friends, students often gain support and comfort through their religion. For some, finding spiritual guidance may be a simple matter of locating where and when gatherings and services are held.
