Renewal of course accreditation in teach out mode

Report on renewal of accreditation of one higher education course of study in teach out mode offered by Navitas Professional Institute Pty Ltd

TEQSA has determined, under Section 56 of the TEQSA Act, to renew accreditation of the following higher education course of study in teach out mode offered by Navitas Professional Institute Pty Ltd until 31 May 2014:

• Graduate Certificate in Counselling Skills

Background to Decision

Navitas Professional Institute Pty Ltd submitted an application for renewal of accreditation of one course of study in teach out mode under Part 4 of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 ('the TEQSA Act'). The purpose of this decision is to facilitate the completion of studies by students enrolled in the course or the transition of students into other equivalent courses offered by the provider or other higher education providers. This also means that no further enrolments are permitted into these courses. Subsection 45(4) of the TEQSA Act requires a registered higher education provider who is not authorised to self-accredit the course of study to apply to TEQSA for accreditation. Subsection 56(4) enables TEQSA to renew accreditation of a course of study for a period not exceeding seven years.

Main Reasons for the Decision

TEQSA has determined that the higher education course of study submitted by Navitas Professional Institute Pty Ltd for accreditation complies with the Provider Course Accreditation Standards. The course accreditation covers delivery at all Australian sites.
