Registration

Report on registration of IIBIT AHE Pty Ltd

On 24 May 2023, TEQSA:

• granted, under section 21 of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 (TEQSA Act), the application by IIBIT AHE Pty Ltd for registration in the category of Institute of Higher Education for a period of five years until 24 May 2028.
• accredited, under section 49 of the TEQSA Act, the Master of Business (Analytics) course for delivery by IIBIT AHE Pty Ltd for a period of five years until 24 May 2028.
• rejected, under section 49 of the TEQSA Act, the application by IIBIT AHE Pty Ltd for accreditation of the Master of Information Technology (Security Management) course.

Main reasons for the decision

TEQSA made these decisions on the basis that it was satisfied that IIBIT AHE Pty Ltd and the Master of Business (Analytics) course meet the Higher Education Standards Framework 2021 (Threshold Standards) (HES Framework).

However, TEQSA finds that the Master of Information Technology (Security Management) course does not meet Standards 1.3.3, 1.4.1, 1.4.3, and 1.4.4 due to issues surrounding Orientation and Progression, and Learning Outcomes and Assessment.

The five-year period of registration and accreditation is consistent with the basic principles of regulation and reflects risks associated with an applicant for initial registration intending to offer a higher education course but having no history in the provision of higher education.

Review Stage

The decision to reject an application for accreditation is a reviewable decision under section 183 of the TEQSA Act.

IIBIT AHE Pty Ltd has applied to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for review of the decision to reject the application by IIBIT AHE Pty Ltd for accreditation of the Master of Information Technology (Security Management) course.
