Students transfer between training providers

Overseas students are restricted from transferring from their principle course of study to another provider for a period of six months. However, there are exceptions to this ruling, see below:

We can only enrol students seeking to transfer from another provider within the first six months of their principal course where:

  • the original registered provider has ceased to be registered, or the course in which the student is enrolled has ceased to be registered;
  • the original registered provider has provided a written letter of release;
  • the original registered provider has had a sanction imposed on its registration by the Australian Government, or state or territory government, that prevents the student from continuing his or her principal course; or
  • any government sponsor of the student considers the change to be in the student’s best interest, and has provided written support for that change.

The above requirement also applies should a student wish to transfer from us to another training provider within the first six months of their principal course.
