LanguageCert is approved by Australia's Department of Home Affairs across all visa sub-classes including 500, 485, 189, 190, 491, 482, 186 and 494. For migration agents whose clients currently default to incumbent tests, LanguageCert is a recognised, credible alternative, particularly for candidates who are re-sitting, working to tight timelines, or looking for a smoother test experience.
