Education and Training - Private Educational Colleges
Private Educational Colleges
Australia’s private educational colleges offer a broad choice of courses and include secondary schools, English language colleges, foundation studies, vocational education and higher education. Educational programs delivered by private colleges such as Australasian College provide choice, flexibility and quality and are accredited to the same high standard as government-funded institutions. Regularly audited and assessed against stringent rules, students can be confident that wherever they choose to study, they will receive an educational experience that is among the best in the world. This explains why more than 2 million students study at private colleges in Australia each year.
Private colleges offer accredited courses across a wide range of industries, including niche courses targeting specific industry needs to improve a student's prospects of achieving their career goals. Private colleges employ experienced, industry-aware teaching staff who are committed to promoting a culture of achievement and to strengthening their chosen industries. With 70 per cent of international vocational education in Australia delivered by private training colleges, it is clear that private colleges are the destination of choice for students seeking to improve their prospects by studying in Australia. In fact, Australia is recognised as providing world’s best practice in vocational education and training (VET) qualifications through its national qualification system covering the school, VET and HE sectors. It was introduced to ensure consistency across Australia’s eight states and territories and provide a framework for a single system of school, work-based and academic qualifications. Along with the UK and New Zealand, Australia was one of the first countries to introduce such a framework.
Australia’s VET sector is characterised by a large number and variety of private training providers. Most private providers offer standard core subjects, but also offer specialised courses both in specific areas of the core subjects and in a wide variety of other courses. Students wishing to do training in areas such as audio engineering for the music industry or computer graphics for digital animation and gaming or hairdressing, beauty therapy and natural therapies and even pilot training are well catered for by private providers specialising in these fields.
“The teaching methods used are very different, creative, exciting and in many ways unique. I would highly recommend Australasian College Broadway to anyone coming to Australia” (Australasian College Student, Ricky Song)
Australian VET providers are well placed to meet the challenges that are facing countries in creating a pool of skilled workers in appropriate numbers with adequate skills in line with their employment requirements they will need foreign investment in education and training.
There are approximately 150 private institutions in the country accredited to offer university level programs and many more institutions who have formed successful partnerships with the 38 public universities in Australia to provide pathway programs for students wishing to continue their studies.
Australasian College is one such college offering quality courses in business management, English Language, Beauty Therapy and Aged Care with pathway programs to University. In addition Australasian College is developing its own higher education program.
Australia’s international competitiveness and leadership in international education reflects its enduring attraction as a destination of choice for international students. This is because colleges such as Australasian College take the challenges and responsibilities of international education seriously including ensuring the safety of students, as well as adequate and appropriate living accommodation, accurate information about course programs, and of course the quality and assurance of education courses.
