Incentives for category 1 TEOs
Frequency of EERs
Category 1 tertiary education organisations (TEOs) will have a new external evaluation and review (EER) within 4 years of the previous EER report's publication.
Turnaround times for applications
We prioritise applications for programme approval and accreditation from category 1 TEOs.
If the TEO has consistently and successfully delivered training in the subject area, at the same level, we process their applications within 30 working days.
The 45 working day turnaround time applies to incomplete applications or applications for subject areas or levels the TEO hasn't delivered before.
Frequency of financial attestations for PTEs
Category 1 TEOs only need to submit an Independent Assurance Practitioner鈥檚 Review Report or Auditor鈥檚 Report every 2 years.
This does not change any of the requirements for private training establishments (PTEs) to provide audit or attestation information about student fee protection arrangements.
