Steps while changing course and education provider

  • First and foremost is the search for the course and education provider you want to switch to. If you are not sure take an expert advice from an education consultant who will help make your decision easy.
  • Apply for the course and get a letter of offer from the new provider.
  • After you have the letter of offer, contact your current education provider for permission and receive a release letter. You will need a letter of offer from the new provider in order to apply for a letter of release from your original education provider.

 

(Note: If your education provider does not give you permission and you are not satisfied with the outcome you should first access the internal appeal process with your education provider. If you are still not satisfied, you can appeal the education provider’s decision at an external complaint handling bodies, such as the State or Territory Ombudsman or the Overseas Student Ombudsman.)

If you have applied to a different education sector from what you are currently studying which require a different visa, Australian migration law requires you to obtain a new visa .So apply for a new visa with the new letter of enrollment and you will be all good .
