Approval to Provide Courses for Overseas Students - New South Wales

Description

A NSW school provider offers course levels for either:

Eligibility requirements

To offer these courses your organisation will need to be listed on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). CRICOS registration is a two stage process. In NSW the first stage is that the provider and the courses to be delivered are approved by the Board. The second stage is undertaken by the Australian Government. It is at this stage that providers and courses are registered by being listed on the CRICOS website.
