  • Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity
  • Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity (Management)
  • Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity (Systems)
  • Graduate Diploma in Cybersecurity
  • Master of Cybersecurity.

Main reasons for the decision

TEQSA made these decisions on the basis that it was satisfied that Global Academy of Technology Pty Ltd (GAT) meets the Provider Registration Standards, and the courses meet the Provider Course Accreditation Standards of the HES Framework. TEQSA decided that it was appropriate to register GAT for a period of five years until 30 January 2028, and to accredit GAT's Bachelor of Cybersecurity, Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity, Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity (Management) Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity (Systems), Graduate Diploma in Cybersecurity and Master of Cybersecurity courses for the same period.

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.
