RMIT English Worldwide Review

Project Director: Dr Sheldon Rothman

ACER is managing a consultancy to enhance the reliability and validity of the RMIT academic promotions resources and processes.

RMIT English Worldwide (REW) is an English language program that is provided through foundation studies and franchised to offshore partners. Successful completion of that program is regarded as equivalent to IELTS 6.5 for the purposes of entry to RMIT programs. RMIT has asked ACER to review the equivalence of the REW and the IELTS to ensure that the REW is indeed graduating students with appropriate levels of language competence.
