Welcome from the CEO

Les Howard has been involved in the industry and in education for over 40 years.

He has worked both in Australia and around the world, enabling him to gain

valuable experience in helping people become successful. Les began his quest

in 1971 and it is from then that he began to develop the unique Baxter Institute

teaching technique.

As the principal of Baxter Institute, Les has been instrumental in the

development of our overseas student education program. Les regularly travels

overseas to promote Baxter Institute as a premier Australian learning destination,

and it is through his experience of meeting students from a variety of different

cultures that we have achieved such a strong reputation.

His hands - on approach to teaching, along with his genuine involvement with

students on an individual level, is what sets him apart from his peers. Through

his wealth of knowledge and his solid leadership, Baxter Institute has grown to

become a well - respected learning institute.

Les is constantly looking for ways to improve and expand Baxter Institute so

as to enhance the overall learning experience. Les has implemented an English

language learning scheme to assist our overseas students. He has recently

created comfortable student lounges to give students a home away from home.

Under Les Howard’s experienced guidance the future really is looking bright for

Baxter Institute’s students.

“Our training method aims to build confi dence and prepare you for life in

the work place. There are some things you just can’t learn from a book or

instructional DVD. To really understand a technique you need to experience it.

You need to feel it with your own hands, and that’s what Baxter Institute is all

about. Hands - on wins hands down.”

“Our students not only come here from all around Australia, they come here from

all around the world. They come because they know they are going to walk out of

here with the education they deserve.”

ESL Course Coordinator Testimonial

“My name is Leigh Dwyer, and I coordinate our fantastic team of English trainers here at Baxter Institute I taught English to all levels from kids to adults whilst living in Japan for eight years.

Since coming back to Australia, I have been working with students from many different countries, and I have learnt how to help students achieve great success in their studies.

I am a native English speaker, but I also speak Japanese in my home –to my wife! So I understand some of the diffi culties facing students who are studying a new language, as well as how they can learn a new language quickly.

I love teaching students about Australian culture, and living in Melbourne city, as well as teaching all levels of English for further studies and communication.

We have a beautiful new English campus so that our students can study comfortably, and we provide very modern and professional facilities.

I have seen the Baxter method lead to success for many of our students, and I hope to meet more new students at Baxter in the future...” Leigh Dwyer - Australia

Baxter’s Free Conversational Class! Our ESL department is dedicated to making our students confi dent English speakers,

we believe the best way to do this is to create a fun and casual environment. This is the

reason we introduced free conversation classes every week. Our Aussie Student Support

Staff mentor the students, so they feel comfortable to practise their English.

They also choose topics of interest to them. Some of the popular topics include life in

Australia, getting employment, different cultures, movies, music and their favourite books.

Students cover these topics in many varied and exciting ways such as quizzes, crosswords

and writing exercises.

On top of this the students are learning how to socialise in the classroom, which they can

use in real life setting outside the classroom. This is an important part of ‘second language

acquisition’. So far the students’ feedback has been that these classes give them a chance

to learn English quickly and effectively, in a casual setting. Meet Marina, our friendly support staff mentor!

Skills for Victoria Baxter Institute is offering government-subsidised training places for eligible applicants wishing to improve their vocational qualifi cations under the Victorian Training Guarantee.

Baxter is currently helping many domestic students in gaining new skills, or to upgrade their existing skills and qualifi cations. Our students are being given the perfect platform they need to get the job they’ve always wanted or even start studying towards a promotion which requires a higher qualifi cation.

The Victorian Training Guarantee is making vocation and training more accessible to people who do not hold a post-school qualifi cation,or who want to gain a higher level qualifi cation than they already hold. There are now an unlimited number of government subsidised training places available to people who meet the eligibility criteria.

Baxter’s Extra Curricular Excursions In addition to encouraging students to speak English more confi dently, we also make learning fun. Being pioneers in taking a practical approach to learning, we frequently take students out on Aussie BBQs, fi shing and snow trips. Additional fun events have been a drive down Great Ocean Road and even seeing a wild life sanctuary on the way.

These trips create opportunities for students to experience the richness that Melbourne has to offer and most of all to make friends with their fellow students and trainers. Other social activities involving hands-on learning are day trips to attractions around the city such as the local Museum, Aquarium and the Melbourne Zoo. Trainers accompany students on these trips and ensure out of the classroom learning activities are completed as well as having lots of fun too. All this makes the student’s experience at Baxter’s ESL department all the more memorable plus learning invaluable English language skills!

Please contact our domestic marketing staff to fi nd out more information, or visit the institute’s website.

Reasons to study in Melbourne

Melbourne is the capital city of Victoria. It is located by the Yarra River and surrounds Port Phillip Bay with its beautiful beaches and water sporting facilities. It is a beautiful city with many attractive parks, gardens, sporting venues and scenic surroundings. Melbourne is a world- renowned cultural, artistic, fi nancial and communications centre served by an international airport, a cargo and passenger seaport, and rail links to neighbouring states. Melbourne is often voted the world’s ‘most livable city’ and offers clean, fresh air and an abundance of amazing parks and gardens.

Melbourne is considered to be the shopping capital of Australia and offers some of Australia’s biggest shopping complexes as well as sophisticated, exclusive boutiques and a host of lively and popular markets. Melbourne has a population of over 4 million people, one quarter of which were born overseas making it one of the world’s most multicultural cities.

There are now people from 140 nations living harmoniously together. This broad ethnic mix has brought many benefi ts to the city including a wide range of cuisines and over 2,300 elegant restaurants, bistros and cafes.Sometimes called the culinary capital of Australia, Melbourne has a vast array of restaurants, offering a variety of international cuisine. Bustling Chinatown in the heart of the city, serves up the fi nest of Asian cuisine and culture. Several other Melbourne streets are dedicated to Vietnamese, Italian and Greek food - cuisine to suit every palate and many to suit a student’s budget.

Melbourne has an excellent public transport system with trams, trains and buses providing an extensive network throughout the city and suburbs. Melbourne is a sprawling city with suburbs extending up to 50km from the centre of the city. The city centre is on the banks of the Yarra River, 5km from Port Phillip Bay. The city centre features world class department stores, historical architecture, theatres, galleries and arts centres. Melbourne is only a short distance from many beautiful beaches as well as the Victorian mountain regions which are extremely popular for skiing in winter.

Climate

Melbourne enjoys a temperate climate with four distinct seasons in the year – summer, autumn, winter and spring. Temperatures range from 40˚C in summer to as low as 5˚C in the winter. Sports and other outdoor activities are possible at all times of the year. Melbourne boasts one of the biggest covered sporting areas in the world.

Language

In Australia not only is there the opportunity to improve your English through specialist study in an English-speaking environment but all sectors of Australian education and training provide tuition in many other languages as well. English as it is spoken in Australia is easily understood by all other English-speaking nations. While there are some minor differences in accent between the cities and country areas the difference is much less than you will fi nd in America, Britain and Canada. As you improve your English in Australia you will learn some of our slang, and have a lot of fun explaining the meanings to your friends and relatives at home.

Clean, safe, cosmopolitan

Students from all over the world come to Melbourne to take advantage of our world-class education and enjoy our friendly hospitality and cultural diversity. Melbourne has low crime rates and strict gun control laws providing a safe environment in which to learn and travel. With one of the highest standards of living in the world, Australia offers modern transport systems, convenient telecommunications, cosmopolitan shopping complexes and excellent health services.

Cost of Living

Assessment factors include your fi nancial ability, English profi ciency, likely compliance with the conditions of your visa and any other matters considered relevant to assessing your application.

Pathway to Higher Education

Baxter Institute has articulation agreements with many institutions such as Holmes Institute, NMIT, Stott’s College and Kaplan Business School, to allow students who have completed diploma courses to advance their study to a Bachelor program. These students may be eligible for up to one year credit towards their bachelor course. This translates as a reduction in the duration of study and hence a signifi cant saving on the overall cost of the degree. It’s that simple.

Credit Transfer and Recognition of prior learning (RPL)

Credit transfer is a process that provides students with agreed and consistent credit outcomes for components of a qualifi cation based on identifi ed equivalence in content and learning outcomes between matched qualifi cations. The credit transfer process involves:

• Mapping, comparing and evaluating the extent to which the learning outcome, discipline content and assessment requirements of the individual components of one qualifi cation are equivalent to the learning outcomes, discipline content and assessment requirements of the individual components of another qualifi cation• Making a judgment about the credit to be assigned between the matched components of the two qualifi cations.

Credit will be granted in accordance with the Credit Transfer procedure.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that involves assessment of an individual’s relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for RPL. The outcome will be granted in accordance with the Institute’s RPL procedure. To apply for credit transfer or RPL, students must complete the relevant application form and attach copies of certifi ed documents to support the application. Please refer to the website for details or speak to our support staff for assistance.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)

Overseas student health cover (OSHC) is insurance that provides cover for the costs for medical and hospital care which international students may need while in Australia. If you are an international student studying in Australia, you must purchase an approved OSHC policy from a registered health benefi ts organization – commonly referred to as a health fund before applying for your visa.

You will need to buy OSHC before you come to Australia to cover you from the time you arrive. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship requires you to maintain OSHC for the duration of your time on a student visa in Australia. OSHC can be arranged through Baxter Institute on request via BUPA. Prior to making an application for BUPA’s OSHC students must read a copy of the rules. Please visit their website for policy and procedures and further details: http://www.bupa.com.au/health-insurance/cover/oshc.

Student recruitment, selection and enrolment process

Applications for admission for international students must be made using the student application form. You may contact the admissions department for application processing at [email protected] (application form can be downloaded from www.baxter.vic.edu.au). Students must complete the student application form and send the completed form to the Institute together with the following certifi ed copies of:

• Photocopy of passport • Highest education qualifi cation and relevant academic documents • IELTS or equivalent for Assessment Level 3 and 4 countries.

For assessment level 1 and 2 countries, an English placement test may be required to determine the English profi ciency. Students required to complete the English placement test will do so at orientation. (For further information on Assessment Level, please visit: www.immi.gov.au)Completed student application forms will be processed by the Institute and the application assessed on the basis of the information supplied. The participants for each program offered by the Institute will be selected in a manner that refl ects access and equity principles. You may speak to our staff or visit our website for more details.

Student code of behaviour

The code of behaviour is designed to give every student a clear view of what they can expect

from Baxter Institute and other students so that all members of our community can benefi t from a collaborative supportive environment. In this environment students can then benefi t from the training and teaching and support that Baxter Institute provides.

The Institute has a Complaints and Appeals procedure to provide students with a fair and equitable process for resolving any disputes or complaints they may have.

There are consequences for non-compliance with the Student code of Behaviour including immediate suspension in the case of severe breaches and or behaviour that may be construed as threatening to the safety of the student, other students or any person on the Baxter Institute premises.

The Student Code of Behaviour requires the following rights and expectations to be respected and adhered to at all times:

• The right to be treated with respect from others, to be treated fairly and without discrimintation regardless of religion, racial and cultural differences, sexual preference, age, disability and socio-economic status• The right to be free from all forms of intimidation • The right to study in a safe, clean, orderly and cooperative environment • The right to have personal property (including computer fi les and student work) and the Registered Training Organisation property protected from damage or other misuse • The right to have any disputes settled in a fair and rational manner (this is accomplished by the Complaints and Appeals Procedure)• The right to work and learn in a supportive environment without interference from others • The right to express and share ideas and to ask questions• The right to be treated with politeness and courteously at all times• The expectation that students will not engage in cheating or plagiarism • The expectation that students will submit work when required• The expectation that students will be punctual for classes• The expectation that students will treat institute staff, trainers and fellow students with respect and without discrimination• The expectation that students will maintain consistent attendance by attending all required classes and assessments.

Course assessment and Course delivery

A number of approaches to course assessments are used by Institute staff. Assessment approaches may include: observation of performance in class, workshops or practical tests; case studies; projects; assignments; presentations; role plays; written tests and exams; work experience or work placement. A number of approaches to course delivery are used by Institute staff. Course delivery approaches may include teacher led classroom delivery; workshops; seminars; tutorials, supervised study and computer aided learning. During class time students will be expected to participate by, for example, answering questions, giving opinions, demonstrating tasks, working with others in groups, making presentations and role playing situations.

Satisfactory progressAt Baxter Institute we have chosen to monitor our International students based on Academic Progress Requirements under Standard 10 of the National Code. If a student does not have satisfactory academic progress, he or she will be reported to DIAC via PRISMS which may lead to the cancellation of the student visa. For the Institute, unsatisfactory academic performance is defi ned as being assessed as “Not Yet Competent” for more than 50% of units/modules/blocks of Competency in a study period. When not all units are weighted equally, Baxter Institute has chosen training delivery hours to determine the percentage.

A study period is a discrete period of time measured in weeks. The study period begins from the student’s actual commencement date. The course may contain one or more study periods. For courses of less than 15 weeks, the entire course will be a single study period. For longer course there will be more than one study period. Different courses have study periods of different duration.

All study periods within a course will be the same except for the fi nal study period which may be shorter due to a course coming to an end, but it will still be considered as a full study period. The study periods of all courses are prominently listed in the enrolment form, letter of offer and student agreement so those students have full access to all necessary information regarding study periods prior to enrolment.

Baxter Institute monitors international students for all study periods that students are enrolled for, including compulsory study periods and non-compulsory periods. A compulsory study period is one in which the student must enrol unless granted a deferment or suspension from enrolment or leave of absence under standard 13 of the National Code and an example of non-compulsory period is a term break. Students who are in danger of being unable to complete a course within the expected duration of study as recorded on the CRICOS register can be considered “at risk” of not meeting satisfactory course progress requirements.

Students will be interviewed, counseled and will be placed on a course intervention strategy which may include, but is not limited to academic skills support, additional English support, additional tutoring, placement in a more appropriate class to get back on the right track of having satisfactory Academic Progress requirements.

The course intervention strategy may be activated at any time by the Institute during the study period to support students if required. A warning letter can only be sent to a Student “at risk” after that study period has ended. If a student is identifi ed as not making satisfactory course progress in a second consecutive compulsory study period in a course, the Institute must notify the student of its intention to report the student to DIAC for unsatisfactory progress.

The Institute does this through the written notice of intention to report the student for unsatisfactory progress. In the notice Baxter must inform the student that he or she is able to access the registered provider’s complaints and appeals process under Standard 8 and that the student has 20 working days in which to do so. Where the student has chosen not to access the complaints and appeals processes within the 20 working day period, the student withdraws from the process, or the process is completed and results in a decision supporting the Institute (i.e. the student’s appeal was unsuccessful) the Institute must notify the Secretary of DEEWR through PRISMS as soon as practicable of the student not achieving satisfactory course progress.

If the student’s Appeal is successful or there are compassionate or compelling reasons for the lack of progress, ongoing support must be provided to the student through the Institute’s intervention strategy, and the Institute will not report the student.

Deferring, suspending or cancelling the student’s enrolment

Students may initiate a request to defer commencement of studies or suspend their studies on the ground of compassionate or compelling circumstances. Students wishing to defer the commencement of studies or suspend their studies must apply to do so in writing to the Institute by completing the form and submitting supporting documents. The Institute may decide to suspend or cancel a student’s enrolment on its own initiative as a response to misbehaviour or poor academic record by the student. Deferral of commencement, suspension of enrolment and cancellation of enrolment has to be reported to DIAC via PRISMS and may affect the status of a student visa.

The ESOS Framework – Providing quality education and protecting your rights

The Australian Government wants overseas students in Australia to have a safe, enjoyable and rewarding place to study. Australia’s laws promote quality of service and consumer protection for overseas students. These laws are known as the ESOS framework and they include the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 and the National Code 2007.

Please visit https://aei.gov.au/Regulatory-Information/Education-Services-for-Overseas-Students-ESOS-Legislative-Framework/ESOSQuickInformation/Documents/ESOS%20Factsheets/Other%20Factsheets/The%20ESOS%20framework.pdf for details.

Protection for overseas students

As an overseas student on a student visa, you must study with an education provider and in a course that can be found on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) at http://cricos.dest.gov.au CRICOS registration guarantees that the course and the education provider at which you study meet the high standards necessary for overseas students. Recent changes to the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act have further strengthened protections for international students through the introduction of the Tuition Protection Service (TPS).
