What TOEFL score do you need for Kent Institute Australia?

English test scores are only valid if they are less than two years old at the start of the course. The document's version history says version 10 updated the TOEFL requirements for vocational and bachelor courses. It notes that student visa applicants may have to meet additional English requirements.

Kent gives its TOEFL figures on the 0 to 120 scale. Since January 2026 TOEFL iBT score reports also carry a 1 to 6 band score; see the new TOEFL score scale.

For comparison, the same document sets IELTS Academic 6.0 (no band below 5.5) for vocational and bachelor courses and 6.5 (no band below 6.0) for postgraduate degrees.

Your offer and your visa are separate. Home Affairs says that for a TOEFL iBT result to be valid for Australian visa purposes you must select 'Taking TOEFL for Australia' when you register, and it lists TOEFL iBT Home Edition among the online tests it does not accept (Home Affairs English page).

The document does not set a TOEFL pathway or conditional score. It lists other accepted tests, among them PTE Academic, Cambridge C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency, MET and LanguageCert.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Kent programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
