Future Enrolments for English Courses:
Related Legislation:
RTOs that are currently delivering English-language VET courses will no longer be able to enrol new overseas students in these courses from 1 March 2018.
In accordance with arrangements in the ELICOS Standards 2018, providers that are currently delivering English-language VET courses to overseas students will be permitted to ‘teach-out’ students enrolled on or before 28 February 2018.
Development and delivery of ELICOS courses requires the provider to meet the ELICOS Standards 2018, which differ significantly to the Standards for RTOs 2015. The ELICOS Standards demand a broad range of additional and higher requirements than the RTO Standards to ensure the quality of English-language instruction for overseas students (for example, in relation to resources, staff/student ratios, staff qualifications, library resources and more).
Providers currently delivering an English-language VET accredited course as RTOs who seek to continue delivering English-language instruction to new overseas students after 1 March 2018 will need to be registered for an ELICOS course that meets the ELICOS Standards 2018. This may require a provider to apply to ASQA as its ESOS Agency, and have that application approved, before enrolling any new students. A VET accredited course cannot be used for this purpose.
