The education framework has been established to guarantee the quality of the learning experience in Australia for international students.

A non-CRICOS registered course will not allow you to apply for a valid student visa.  If you are visiting in Australia under a visitor visa, you can study any short-term course that is non-CRICOS registered.  If you require information about courses, schools and the visa application process, you should contact us.
