International education practitioners can often quote passages of text from the Standards of the National Code: our nationally consistent standards and procedures for registered providers and for persons who deliver education services on behalf of registered providers. But can they also quote passages from the Higher Education Standards Framework (aka. HESF)?
This session takes participants through both sets of legislation, comparing and contrasting the regulatory obligations of both. It aims to broaden participants’ knowledge of how the HESF and National Code can work together to ensure an evidence-based, quality international student experience.
