Course fees
See IML course fees here.
Course types
Learners can start out with a short course or jump straight into a Level course as an entry point. The short courses flow logically into the Level courses.
- Survival courses
10 hours (5 weekly sessions). Script is not taught.
- Short courses
16 hours (8 weekly sessions). Script is not taught.
- Level courses
Accelerated Summer courses (A+B) | 42 hours (14 x 3hr sessions, twice a week, during summer term, followed by an optional examination) |
Intensive courses (A+B) | 40 hours (16 sessions, once a week, followed by an optional examination) |
A courses | 22 hours (11 weekly sessions) |
B courses | 20 hours (10 weekly sessions, followed by an optional examination). They are a continuation of A courses, suitable for those with some previous knowledge of the language. The combination of A and B courses is the equivalent of a Year course. |
IML also offers the following purpose-specific courses:
- Conversation courses
The focus of these semester-based courses is on maintaining and extending conversational fluency. These are offered for a limited number of languages at Level 5 or higher.
- High School Language Enrichment courses
These are the only non-adult IML classes. 5 days in a single week in January or mid-year. For students undertaking the Senior phase of Secondary schooling (QCE and IB, Year 11 and 12). In 2024 IML introduced course options for Year 7-10 as well.
Conditions of enrolment
- Classes fill quickly in order of payment receipt
- Courses run subject to sufficient enrolments being received
- No qualifications or special knowledge required unless specified
- IML does not provide textbooks (except otherwise stated) and is therefore not liable for the availibility of textbooks or any material required or recommended for a course.
Withdrawal, refund and transfer policy
Course withdrawal
Course withdrawal with refund is possible only before the course commences. The request for withdrawal with refund must be in writing. There is an administrative fee of $30 per each course.
Withdrawal from an IML Language Pathway program will result in loss of discount at time of refund for remaining courses.
Refund policy
Please choose carefully. Under Australian Consumer Law, after the course has commenced we do not provide a refund if you have a change in circumstances or make a wrong selection. If IML cancels a course then a full refund will be offered. Fees are not transferable to another student or to the next year.
Transfer policy
During the first three weeks of the course we will accommodate all transfer requests provided the level is available and there is a vacancy in the class selected. If you enrol in a level which is too easy or too challenging, ask the IML office about moving to a more suitable level. Transfers can only be arranged within the current teaching year.
