Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018.
The registered provider must ensure that the marketing and promotion of its courses and education services in connection with the recruitment of overseas students or intending overseas students, including through an education agent (in accordance with Standard 4), is not false or misleading, and is consistent with Australian Consumer Law.
The registered provider must, in seeking to enter into written agreements with overseas students or intending overseas students, not provide any false or misleading information on:
its association with any other persons or organisations the registered provider has arrangements with for the delivery of the course in which the student intends to enrol or may apply to enrol
any work-based training a student is required to undertake as part of the course
prerequisites—including English language proficiency—for entry to the course
any other information relevant to the registered provider, its courses or outcomes associated with those courses.
The registered provider must not:
claim to commit to secure for, or on the student or intending student’s behalf, a migration outcome from undertaking any course offered by the registered provider
guarantee a successful education assessment outcome for the student or intending student.
The registered provider must include its CRICOS registered name and registration number in any written or online material that it disseminates or makes publicly available for the purposes of:
providing or offering to provide a course to an overseas student
inviting a student to undertake or apply for a course, or
indicating it is able or willing to provide a course to overseas students.
The registered provider must not actively recruit a student where this conflicts with its obligations under Standard 7 (Overseas student transfers).
