Delivering training in Australia to overseas students
To deliver training to overseas students, a provider must be a registered training organisation and be listed on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students. To be listed on this register, a registered training organisation must meet all relevant state and territory requirements, as well as the provisions of the National Code which sets out nationally consistent standards for registration and provider conduct.
In Queensland:
- the registration of training providers is managed through the Training and Employment Recognition Council and
- the process of applying for registration on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) is managed by the office of non-state education in the Department of Education (on behalf of the Australian Government's Department of Education, Science and Training which is responsible for the register).
The Queensland requirements assure the quality of the education and training services, while the Australian Government requirements under the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 focus on:
- migration aspects
- protection and enhancement of Australia 's international reputation
- ensuring overseas students receive the tuition for which they have paid.
