If you need to change your holiday dates or request leave during your course, follow these simple steps.
Remember, you may have holidays included in your course, but any changes must be approved by Milestones English Academy.
Step 1: Check If You Are Eligible
Make sure you have completed 12 weeks of study before requesting holidays.
Holidays can only be requested for 5 or 10 consecutive working days.
Holidays can only be requested to start on Monday and end on Friday.
Ensure your request follows your visa conditions.
Step 2: Complete the Request Form
Complete the Holiday Request Form here.
Fill in your details, including:
Name and course
Class timing
Your requested holiday dates
Whether you’ll stay in Australia or travel overseas
Step 3: Submit the Form
Hand in your form at least 5 working days before the requested holiday start date.
If it’s an emergency and you’re late, you must provide valid evidence (like a medical certificate).
Step 4: Wait for Approval
MEA will process your request within 5 working days.
You will get a written response letting you know if it’s approved.
If your holiday request is approved, MEA will inform the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) if needed.
Holidays cannot be approved for fixed-entry courses like PTE Preparation or Cambridge Exam Preparation.
Ensure your fees are paid before making a request.
Changing your holiday dates may affect your study plan and payment schedule.
