RMIT Vietnam is an English-speaking campus. All employees are required to meet a minimum standard of English language proficiency. Different positions have different minimum standards set.
If you are the successful candidate in the recruitment process, and you are not a native English speaker, before RMIT can make you an offer, you will need to demonstrate that you meet the proficiency level requirements for the role.
RMIT offers the Linguaskill test for professional roles, and the IELTS and Pearson tests for Academic roles.
If you fail the English test, RMIT will consider the option of enabling you to take the test again. This decision will be made on a case-by-case basis.

Linguaskill and IELTS provide lots of helpful online links and resources to enable you to practice your English before taking the test.
