Tuition Assurance

ACPET has two Tuition Assurance Schemes (TAS):

The objective of the ACPET tuition assurance schemes is to ensure that any overseas or Australian student displaced from a course, due to an ACPET member's inability to continue the course, is efficiently relocated in a comparable course with another ACPET member or other approved provider. The schemes have been established to provide members with a low-cost solution to Government tuition assurance legislation that regulates providers who accept overseas students and to satisfy compliance requirements for the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF).

To account for additional costs that may be incurred by ACPET in providing financial support, participants of the scheme offering courses not suitably comparable to those offered by any other member will be charged a premium on the annual fee. In this light, the fee structure for the schemes has been split into three Types:
