Horticulture and agriculture programs at a number of Australian universities may provide entrance routes that do not require the IELTS. For example, courses in agribusiness, agriculture, production, conservation & land management, and nursery operations are available at the Australian College of Agriculture and Horticulture (ACAH). The ACAH offers a combination of laboratory study, classroom instruction, and job placement, along with worthwhile work experience opportunities. Furthermore, in some universities, including Charles Sturt University (CSU), the Certificate III, Certificate IV, or Diploma in Horticulture can be used as a gateway for entrance to the Bachelor of Horticulture program. Moreover, some colleges accept other standards for English language competency in lieu of the IELTS, such as the accomplishment of particular coursework requirements or job experience.
