Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) agrees to re-register RGIT Australia


Posted March 6, 2020 by rgithobart

The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) and Royal Gurkhas Institute of Technology (RGIT) has reached an agreement to renew the institute’s registration for five years.

 
The decision of May 2019, did not take effect as the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) stayed them and enabled RGIT to continue to operate and function fully. RGIT is very pleased to announce that a final agreement has been reached with ASQA. The institute is now registered for 5 years as normal and has introduced new courses to the scope of registration. The new qualifications that are an addition to the qualifications previously offered are

Graduate Certificate in Management (Learning) - BSB80515
Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning) - BSB80615

The Tribunal made a final order on Friday, 23 January 2020 that reflected the agreement with ASQA. This means that now it is not necessary to have a final hearing and experience further delay before RGIT could achieve certainty for its students, staff and other stakeholders.

After the formal orders mere made by the Tribunal, Mr Chandra Yonzon, CEO at RGIT said:

“We are delighted that we have reached an agreement with ASQA which provides for our registration being renewed for five years and qualifications being added to our scope. The terms of the agreement were satisfactory to both parties and RGIT hopes that the agreement will lay the groundwork for a cooperative approach between RGIT and ASQA which will allow RGIT to demonstrate to ASQA its high standards and ongoing compliance within a positive and cooperative framework.”

He further added, “It has been a very difficult time for our students, staff and our marketing agents in recent months. I would like to thank all of them for their ongoing support and confidence in my hard-working team at RGIT. I would also like to thank everyone else that was involved in assisting me and my team to reach this stage; our compliance and legal teams for their excellent work, for understanding us well and working hard in our favour. I would also like to thank ASQA and its legal team, who understood our position and worked very hard until both parties reached an agreement and was able to set this case aside.”

RGIT will continue its full operations as normal and look forward to a great future.
