Dreaming of a rewarding career shaping young minds? Australia offers excellent opportunities in early childhood education, and our CRICOS-registered training organisation provides pathways for international students to achieve their study and learning goals. We offer nationally recognised qualifications, including the CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care and the CHC50121 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge for success in this fulfilling field.
What are CRICOS, CHC30121, and CHC50121?
For international students wanting to study in Australia, CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students) registration is essential. It ensures the course, and the education provider, meet the Australian Government’s standards. Our courses are CRICOS-approved, meaning you can apply for a student visa to study with us. The CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care provides foundational skills for working with children in various settings. The CHC50121 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care builds on this foundation, offering advanced knowledge and leadership skills for roles like centre director or coordinator. Both qualifications are highly regarded within the Australian early childhood education sector.

What is CRICOS Registration?
The Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) is a register maintained by the Australian government that lists all Australian education providers and courses approved to offer education to international students. Choosing a CRICOS-registered course is paramount because it offers several key advantages:
- Quality Assurance: CRICOS registration guarantees that the course and the institution providing it meet rigorous quality standards set by the Australian government. This ensures that you receive a high-quality education that is recognized internationally.
- Visa Eligibility: A CoE (Confirmation of Enrolment) from a CRICOS-registered course is a fundamental requirement for obtaining a student visa. Without it, your visa application cannot proceed.
- Student Support Services: Institutions registered on CRICOS are obligated to provide specific support services to international students, including academic support, welfare services, and assistance with accommodation and other practical matters.

Do I Need a Student Visa for CRICOS Courses?
If you are not an Australian citizen or permanent resident and you intend to study a course registered on CRICOS, you will need a student visa (subclass 500). This visa is specifically designed for international students pursuing formal studies in Australia and allows you to live and study in the country for the duration of your course.
Eligibility for a Student Visa (Focusing on CRICOS Course Students):
Meeting the eligibility criteria is the most crucial step in the visa application process. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you need to demonstrate:
- Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) for a CRICOS Course: The first step is to be accepted into a CRICOS-registered course. Once you have received an offer and accepted it, your education provider will issue you a CoE. This document is essential for your visa application.
- Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) Requirement: You must demonstrate to the Department of Home Affairs that your primary intention for coming to Australia is to study temporarily. Your GTE statement should clearly articulate why you chose this specific CRICOS course, how it aligns with your academic and career aspirations, and why you have chosen to study it in Australia. Be specific and provide evidence to support your claims.
- Financial Capacity: You need to prove that you have sufficient funds to cover your tuition fees for the entire duration of your CRICOS course, as well as your living expenses in Australia and the cost of your return airfare. Evidence of funds can include bank statements, loan approvals, or sponsorship letters.
- English Language Proficiency: As English is the language of instruction in most Australian educational institutions, you must demonstrate your proficiency in English through a recognized English language test, such as IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic. The required score will vary depending on the specific CRICOS course and institution you choose.
- Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC): OSHC is mandatory for the entire duration of your stay in Australia on a student visa. It provides health insurance coverage for medical expenses during your studies. You will need to purchase OSHC from an approved provider before applying for your visa.
- Health and Character Requirements: You must meet certain health and character requirements set by the Australian government. This may involve undergoing medical examinations and providing police clearances from your home country and any other countries where you have lived for a significant period.
Applying for Your Student Visa:
The student visa application is primarily an online process conducted through the Department of Home Affairs’ ImmiAccount portal:
- Gather Your Documents: Before you begin your application, gather all the necessary documents, including your passport, CoE for the CRICOS course, financial evidence, English test results, OSHC certificate, and any other supporting documents relevant to your GTE statement.
- Create an ImmiAccount: Create an account on the Department of Home Affairs website. This online portal will be where you complete and submit your visa application.
- Complete the Online Application: Fill out the online application form accurately and completely, ensuring you provide all the required information, particularly regarding your chosen CRICOS course.
- Upload Your Documents: Upload scanned copies of all your supporting documents through your ImmiAccount.
- Pay the Visa Application Fee: Pay the required visa application fee online.
- Biometrics (if required): Depending on your nationality, you may be required to provide biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) at a designated collection centre.
- Visa Assessment: The Department of Home Affairs will then assess your application.
Processing Times and Key Information:
Student visa processing times can vary depending on several factors, including the completeness of your application and the current volume of applications being processed by the Department of Home Affairs. It is highly recommended to apply well in advance of your course start date to allow ample time for processing. You can check the Department of Home Affairs website for the most up-to-date processing times.
