Academy of Entrepreneurs will appoint Education Agents to be non-exclusive representatives and to perform the services for the terms set out in an agreement referred to as an Agent Agreement.

Academy of Entrepreneurs enter and maintain the agent’s details in PRISMS and list the agents on the website.

Each Agreement will be a non-exclusive agreement and the agent acknowledges that Academy of Entrepreneurs may appoint other representatives as it so chooses.

The specific requirements of Academy of Entrepreneurs and the agent will be contained in a written agreement signed by both parties. The Agreement will include:
a statement that the Academy of Entrepreneurs is responsible at all times for compliance with the ESOS Act and National Code 2018;
Academy of Entrepreneurs’ processes for monitoring the activities of the agent in representing the provider, and ensuring the agent is giving students accurate and up-to-date information on the registered provider’s services;
the corrective action that may be taken by the Academy of Entrepreneurs if the agent does not comply with its obligations under the written agreement;
that where the Academy of Entrepreneurs becomes aware, or has reason to believe, that the agent, or an employee or subcontractor of the agent, has not complied with the agent’s responsibilities, the Academy of Entrepreneurs will take immediate corrective action;
that where the Academy of Entrepreneurs becomes aware, or has reason to believe, that the agent, or an employee or subcontractor of the agent, is engaging in false or misleading recruitment practices, the Academy of Entrepreneurs will immediately terminate its relationship with the agent or require the education agent to terminate its relationship with the employee or subcontractor who engaged in those practices;
the Academy of Entrepreneurs’ grounds for termination of the written agreement with the agent;
the circumstances under which information about the education agent may be disclosed by the registered provider and the Commonwealth or state or territory agencies

declare in writing and take reasonable steps to avoid conflicts of interests with its duties as an education agent of the Academy of Entrepreneurs;
observe appropriate levels of confidentiality and transparency in their dealings with students or intending students;
act honestly and in good faith, and in the best interests of the student;
have appropriate knowledge and understanding of the international education system in Australia, including the Australian International Education and Training Agent Code of Ethics.
The Academy of Entrepreneurs will not accept students from an agent if it knows or reasonably suspects the agent to be:
providing migration advice, unless that education agent is authorised to do so under the Migration Act;
engaged in, or to have previously engaged in, dishonest recruitment practices, including the deliberate attempt to recruit a student where this clearly conflicts with the obligations of registered providers under Standard 7 (Overseas student transfers)
facilitating the enrolment of a student who the education agent believes will not comply with the conditions of his or her visa
using PRISMS to create CoEs for other than bona fide students.

Monitoring Education Agents
The CEO will participate in a range of activities to monitor the activities of the education agent and ensure their practices are aligned with the obligations outlined above.

Activities will include:
six-monthly zoom training or agent site visit; and
annual breakfast/lunch training

Specifically, this engagement is to address the following points:
review of the agent’s recent activity and initiatives to promote the services of Academy of Entrepreneurs with integrity and accuracy;
review any changes to administrative processes internal to Academy of Entrepreneurs;
review any changes to marketing material or course information that impacts on the activities of the agent; and

This does not apply to approved deferment and leave of absence when the student applies for refund after the application was approved.

The student fills out the Application For Withdraw Form and emails to support@aestudy.com if applying to withdraw from a course or unit. 
Academy of Entrepreneurs staff who are approached with initial notice of cancellation are to ensure the student understands their rights with regards to the refunding of Tuition Fees. The student is also to be advised of other options such as deferral or suspension of the enrolment.

The student seeking to transfer to another provider must settle all outstanding fees and pay an AUD $500 per course prior to being granted a release.

If the student enrols into packaged courses, each course within the packaged courses is considered as an independent course. Therefore, the cancellation and refund policy will apply to each course within the packaged courses.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) if paid to Academy of Entrepreneurs and which has been applied as a premium to OHSC provider on behalf of students;

Payment of GST
GST is exempt under section 38-85 GSTR 2003/1 Goods and Services Tax, tax ruling. The ruling explains the supply of a course for ‘professional or trade course’ is a GST-free education course.
Where a student is enrolled in a course which is offering units of competence or a whole qualification, the course fees attached to this enrolment will be exempt from the payment of GST. GST does apply on the payment of some miscellaneous charges where these charges are in addition to and outside the normal services offered in a course.

Miscellaneous Charges
Academy of Entrepreneurs will levy some miscellaneous charges for services. These may include:

Re-issuing a certificate after it has been initially issued to a student;
Re-assessment services; and
Late payment fees.

These miscellaneous charges are to be clearly specified in Academy of Entrepreneurs Schedule of Fees and Charges. It is to be made clear if these services will include GST. All miscellaneous charges are based on a cost recovery basis and are not intended to be a source of profit.

Fees being paid in advance
Academy of Entrepreneurs acknowledges that it has a responsibility to protect the fees paid by students in advance of their training and assessment services being delivered. To meet its responsibilities under the ESOS Act, Academy of Entrepreneurs requests payment of no more than 50% of the total tuition fees for the course before the student commences the course. Following course commencement, no further pre-paid tuition fees are taken before the fee schedule, stated on the student’s Letter of Offer.

Academy of Entrepreneurs maintains a separate bank account in order to keep pre-paid tuition fees separate from day-to-day operating expense accounts. If a refund is payable before the student commences, the refund can be made in full and in a timely way without impact on the financial operations of the business or recourse to the Tuition Protection Service.

Keeping students informed

payment terms, including the timing and amount of fees to be paid , and late payment fees and any non-refundable  fees;

the nature of the guarantee given by Academy of Entrepreneurs to complete the training and assessment once the student has commenced study in their chosen qualification or course;

the fees and charges for additional services, including such items as issuance of a replacement qualification testamur and the options available to students who are deemed ‘not competent’ on completion of training and assessment; and

the Academy of Entrepreneurs Cancellation and Refund policy.

Student complaints about fees or refunds
If the refund application is rejected, then the student will have an option to appeal the decision within 20 working days after receiving the notification. Refer to the Complaints & Appeals Policy for details.

This refund policy, and the availability of our complaints and appeals processes, does not remove student rights to take further action under the Australian Consumer Protection laws.

Question 16

Complaints and Appeals Policy

Accepted Answer

The Academy of Entrepreneurs recognises that effective complaint management and equitable and transparent review mechanisms contribute to a positive study environment. Students should feel confident in the knowledge that their complaints and appeals will be addressed appropriately, fairly and in a timely manner by Academy of Entrepreneurs.

Students should also be confident that they will not be penalised or disadvantaged because of lodging a complaint or appeal. This policy is designed to ensure that student complaints and appeals are resolved promptly, with sensitivity to all parties, and in accordance with the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness.

Complaints and appeals
Academy of Entrepreneurs has a complaints handling process for resolving complaints and appeals and will refer you to external mediation where required.
A complaint is negative feedback about services or staff which has not been resolved directly between the parties involved. In all cases, issues that are the source of frustration or are in dispute should be resolved at the time, as they occur between the persons involved, where possible. Sometimes, it will not be possible and in these cases, students should complete a Complaints and Appeals Form. This form can be found on the Academy of Entrepreneurs’ website www.aestudy.com/documents
Academy of Entrepreneurs is committed to providing a fair and transparent complaint handling process to enable it to manage and respond to allegations involving the conduct of:

Academy of Entrepreneurs, its trainers, assessors or other staff;
a third-party providing services on the Academy of Entrepreneurs' behalf (incl. agents), its trainers, assessors or other staff; or
a student of the Academy of Entrepreneurs

Academy of Entrepreneurs applies the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness to its complaints handling process and will always operate in a fair and unbiased way.

Complaint and appeals handling process
Academy of Entrepreneurs applies the following principles to its complaints handling:

A complainant or appellant is to be provided an opportunity to formally present his or her case at no cost
Each complainant or appellant may be accompanied and/or assisted by a support person at any relevant meeting
Any person/s involved will be informed of the allegations.

Complaints and appeals are acknowledged in writing and a written record of all complaints and appeals is kept by the Academy of Entrepreneurs including all details of lodgement, response and resolution. Academy of Entrepreneurs will identify the potential causes of complaints and take appropriate corrective action to eliminate or mitigate the likelihood of reoccurrence.

The process commences within ten (10) working days of the formal lodgement of the complaint or appeal and supporting information and all reasonable measures are taken to finalise the process as soon as practicable. The complainant or appellant is to be provided a written response, including details of the reasons for the outcome.

Where a complaint or appeal is considered to require more than sixty (60) calendar days to process and finalise, Academy of Entrepreneurs will inform the complainant or appellant in writing, including reasons why more than sixty calendar days are required and will provide the complainant or appellant with regular updates to inform them of the progress of the matter.

The student has ten (10) days from notification of an unsuccessful complaint in which to lodge an appeal.

Academy of Entrepreneurs shall maintain the enrolment of the student during the complaint handling process.

If the internal or any external complaint handling process results in a decision that supports the student, the Academy of Entrepreneurs are to immediately implement any decision and/or any required corrective and preventative action and advise the student of the outcome.

External appeals review
Academy of Entrepreneurs provides the opportunity for persons who are not satisfied with the outcomes of the complaints handling process to lodge an external appeal.
Academy of Entrepreneurs must advise the student of their right to access an external complaints handling process at minimal or no cost within 10 working days of concluding the complaints handling process.

External appeals will be undertaken by an independent person/body, such as:

Overseas Students Ombudsman GPO Box 442
Canberra ACT 2601
Tel: 1300 362 072 or Email: ombudsman@ombudsman.gov.au

Question 17

Course Credit Policy

Students are required to submit their application with supporting evidence as required and outlined in the applications:

Credit Transfer
Students who have completed a Nationally Recognised qualification / unit that have the exact same code as a unit currently enrolled will be eligible for credit transfer for the particular unit(s). The student must provide the original certificate to be sighted by Academy of Entrepreneurs to verify the Credit Transfer.

Recognition of Prior Learning
Where students have gained relevant skills and knowledge other than undertaking accredited training for the unit, a student may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning. Students must complete an application form and supporting evidence as required. This evidence must be clearly identifiable and support the applicant’s case for Recognition of Prior Learning by addressing the relationship of evidence to the Unit of Competency being sought.
Applications are received by the Admissions Officer in the first instance and the application and supporting documentation is copied and placed into the student file. Where originals are required to be sighted the Admissions Officer will sight the originals and indicate on copies that originals have been sighted and return originals to the student. Academy of Entrepreneurs shall at no time accept original certificates.
The application is then forwarded to the Academic Manager to be assessed and outcomes determined.
Where any application for course credit is received by Academy of Entrepreneurs, either RPL or CT, Academy of Entrepreneurs is to assess the application and provide an outcome to the application within 14 working days of receiving it, or as soon as practical where further information is required to determine the outcome.

Where Academy of Entrepreneurs grants either RPL or CT, it will provide a written record of the decision to the student to accept and retain the written record of acceptance for two years after the student ceases to be an accepted student.
Where Academy of Entrepreneurs grants the student RPL or CT that reduces the student's course length, it will:
inform the student of the reduced course duration following granting of RPL and ensure the confirmation of enrolment (CoE) is issued only for the reduced duration of the course
report any change in course duration in PRISMS if RPL or CT is granted after the overseas student's visa is granted.

Question 18

Course Transfer Policy

Accepted Answer

The Academy of Entrepreneurs will not enrol international students transferring from their principal course (i.e. the main course of study or the highest qualification indicated on the student's current visa) with another registered provider before they have completed six (6) months of their principal course with that registered provider. The exceptions to this requirement are identified below.
As the principal course of study is generally the final course of study covered by the student's visa, transfer requirements apply to all courses of study prior to the student's principal course. This means the transfer restriction applies to an international student during all courses they undertake prior to the principal course.
The first six months is calculated as six (6) calendar months from the date an international student commences their principal course.
Exceptions
For an international student to transfer to Academy of Entrepreneurs before completing six months of their principal course, the student must meet one of the following conditions:

the original (i.e. releasing) registered provider has provided a letter of release;
the original registered provider, or the course in which the student is enrolled, has ceased to be registered;
the original registered provider has had a sanction imposed on its registration by the ESOS agency that prevents the student from continuing their course with that registered provider;
any government sponsor of the student considers the change to be in the student's best interests and has provided written support for the change. This usually applies where the student's study in Australia is sponsored by the government of another country.
After completing six calendar months of the principal course, an international student can transfer to Academy of Entrepreneurs without needing to meet one of these conditions.
Policy for assessing transfer requests
Academy of Entrepreneurs will release a current student from their principal course and provide a letter of release before they have completed 6 months of that course where it can be demonstrated that this is in the best interests of the student. This includes the following circumstances:

The student will be reported because they are unable to achieve satisfactory course progress at the level they are studying, even after engaging with Academy of Entrepreneurs' intervention strategy. The report on the student's course progress will occur even though the transfer request is granted.
There is evidence of compassionate or compelling circumstances. 'Compassionate or compelling' circumstances are generally those beyond the control of the student and which have an impact upon the student's course progress or wellbeing. Academy of Entrepreneurs will use their professional judgement to assess each case on its individual merits. Examples of compassionate or compelling circumstance include, but are not limited to:

serious illness or injury, where a medical certificate states that the student was unable to attend classes;
bereavement of close family members such as parents or grandparents (where possible a death certificate should be provided);
major political upheaval or natural disaster in the home country requiring emergency travel and this has impacted on the student's studies; or
a traumatic experience, which could include:

involvement in, or witnessing of a serious accident; or
witnessing or being the victim of a serious crime, and this has impacted on the student (these cases should be supported by police or psychologists' reports).

Academy of Entrepreneurs being unable to offer a pre-requisite unit, or the student has failed a prerequisite unit and therefore faces a shortage of relevant units for which they are eligible to enrol
Academy of Entrepreneurs failing to deliver the course as outlined in the written agreement
There is evidence that the student's reasonable expectations about their current course are not being met
There is evidence that the student was misled by the Academy of Entrepreneurs or an education or migration agent regarding the Academy of Entrepreneurs or its course and the course is therefore unsuitable to their needs and/or study objectives
An appeal (internal or external) on another matter results in a decision or recommendation to release the student.
Academy of Entrepreneurs will not release a current student from their principal course and provide a letter of release before they have completed six months of that course where it can be demonstrated that it is not in the best interests of the student. This includes the following circumstances:

The student has not made satifactory academic progress and is seeking a transfer to avoid being reported to Department of Home Affairs
The student has not attended the course as required and is seeking a transfer to avoid being reported to the Department of Home Affairs
The student is not genuinely engaging with an intervention strategy with the intention of failing and being released
The student has not paid all required tuition fees according to Academy of Entrepreneurs' Cancellation and Refund policy.
The student has applied for transfer into a course that they do not have the credentials to enter
The student’s progression through a package of courses would be jeopardised by the transfer.
Process for assessing transfer requests into the Academy of Entrepreneurs
Academy of Entrepreneurs receives an application from a student who is on-shore and who has indicated that they are currently studying at another institution.
The Chief Executive Officer uses PRISMS to ascertain if the student has completed 6 months of their principal course. They also use the copy of the student visa in the passport to ascertain what the principal course is and when they arrived in Australia.
Where the above is satisfied, the Academy of Entrepreneurs application process proceeds as for all offshore students.
Where the above is not satisfied, students are asked to provide an appropriate letter of release in support of their application. They may be provided with a 'conditional' offer, which clearly states that an offer of a place is contingent on obtaining a letter of release.
Where the student provides a letter of release and they have no outstanding fees to be paid to the Academy of Entrepreneurs or other outstanding matters of concern, the application proceeds as for all offshore applicants.
Where a satisfactory letter of release is not provided, the application process is halted, and the student informed that they are unable to be transferred at this time and that they are welcome to re-activate their application when the 6-month period has passed.
Process for assessing transfer requests from the Academy of Entrepreneurs
The student fills out the Application For Withdraw Form and emails to support@aestudy.com the request for transfer from Academy of Entrepreneurs to another provider. The application must include the reason/s for their request.
Please note that depending on when you lodge your withdrawal application, you may be liable academically and financially. To avoid these penalties, students must lodge their withdrawal application at least 28 calendar days prior to the commencement of the relevant study period.
The student is asked to provide a valid offer of enrolment from the new registered provider.
With these documents sighted, the Academy of Entrepreneurs will assess the transfer request in accordance with its policy.
The Chief Executive Officer will decide to refuse or grant the letter of release and inform the student. If the Chief Executive Officer decides to refuse a letter of release the student will be advised in writing providing the reasons for refusal and indicating that the student may access the complaints and appeals process if they want a review of the decision.
Where Academy of Entrepreneurs intends to refuse a release, it will not finalise the overseas student's refusal status in PRISMS until:

Any appeal against the refusal lodged by the student is finalised and upholds the Academy of Entrepreneurs' decision not to release the student; or
The student does not access Academy of Entrepreneurs' complaints and appeals processes within 20 working days of being notified of the refusal; or
The student withdraws their appeal against the refusal.
Where the request is found to be in accordance with the policy, the letter of release will be granted after they have settled all outstanding fees and pay an AUD 500 Release Fee prior to being granted a release.
The Chief Executive Officer reports the student's termination of studies through PRISMS.
Academy of Entrepreneurs will maintain records of international student transfer requests for two years after the student ceases to be an accepted student.
The Chief Executive Officer will make any final decision regarding the issuance or refusal of a letter of release for any student.
Where the student has provided all the necessary documentation regarding letters of release the assessment will be made within 10 days.
All requests, considerations, decisions and copies of letters of release are placed on the student's file.
The approval of transfer of a student to another institution does not indicate the agreement to provide any refund. Refunds are governed by the Academy of Entrepreneurs' refund policy as outlined in the written agreement.
The Course Transfer Policy and procedure will be available to Academy of Entrepreneurs' staff and international students.

Question 19

Critical Incidents Policy

Accepted Answer

Academy of Entrepreneurs is committed to maintaining a safe and supportive environment for staff and students. This policy underpins our approach to respond to critical incidents that may occur and impact on the people both studying and working at Academy of Entrepreneurs. We are particularly mindful of our responsibility to support our students who, having left their country of origin, do not have access to a normal support network.

A Critical Incident is any sudden or progressive development (event) that requires immediate attention and decisive action to prevent / minimise any negative impact on the health and welfare of one or more individuals. Critical incidents may include (but are not limited to) events such as:

Death/suicide;
Serious accident or injury;
Death or serious illness of a student’s family or friends overseas (in their homeland);
Removing an individual’s liberty under duress, threats of violence, assault, rape/sexual assault, aggravated burglary, biological or chemical weapons found/ present;
Fire, bomb, explosion, gas/chemical hazards, discharge of firearms;
Threat of widespread infection or contamination;
Civil unrest;
Serious damage to essential facilities and or extreme disruption to operations at Academy of Entrepreneurs; and
Information which has the potential to negatively affect the reputation of Academy of Entrepreneurs in the media and/or wider community.

Staff Responsibility
In the first instance the designated officer is any member of the staff who is witness to /or receives the information which triggers the critical incident.
If possible, the Chief Executive Officer is to be immediately called to the situation to assume control. In all cases the procedure below is to be followed:

Critical Incident Procedure
The Designated Officer is to assess the situation and consider any apparent risks to their own safety and those present.
Where the Designated Officer considers a critical incident involving threat to life or/ and triggering an emergency situation is occurring the Designated Officer is to contact Emergency Services by dialling 000 immediately and being put through to the appropriate service.
Provided there is no threat to personal safety in doing so, the Designated Officer is to take steps to minimise further damage or injury. This may involve organising willing bystanders to provide support.
The Chief Executive Officer or most senior staff member available is to assume responsibility for assessing the incident and forming a Critical Incident Team if deemed necessary.
As soon as practical the Chief Executive Officer or the most senior staff member available is to prepare a Critical Incident Initial Report outlining details re: the type of incident, the exact location and details of any person or persons who might be injured, or in distress and in need of counselling or at risk.
The Chief Executive Officer and Critical Incident Team/ other staff members, will review the situation, set priorities, allocate tasks/responsibilities and coordinate an immediate response including communications (to staff, students, families of those involved, helpers, and the media).
Where a staff member has assumed management of the critical incident, this person will consult with and/or take instruction from the Chief Executive Officer as necessary.
The Critical Incident Team will organise ongoing response/follow up (including staff briefing, counselling, review and reporting) as part of the process.
The Critical Incident Team will organise a de-briefing session to evaluate response procedures and make recommendations for ongoing actions if required.
The Critical Incident Team will produce a final report and make recommendations about handling any future critical incidents. Revision of this procedure may be part of that report.

Tasks and Responsibilities
The Chief Executive Officer or most senior staff member available will:

Head the Critical Incident Team;
Liaise with emergency services;
Liaise with Diplomatic Post/Embassy/Consulate;
Provide notification of critical incident to the most senior staff member;
Liaise with immediate family members or guardians if appropriate;
Convene Critical Incident Team;
Formulate and execute critical incident plan; and
Organise debriefing, counselling and follow-up.

Informing the Police
The police must investigate all sudden unexpected death. Police actions include:

Reporting the death to the Coroner;
Notifying next of kin;
Obtaining official identification of the deceased (this must be done by a person who has known the individual for at least the past year); and
Conducting investigations (interviewing witnesses or others involved).

Notifying Next of Kin
Once death/injury has been confirmed, the initial contact with next of kin / significant others needs to be considered carefully. The following questions may be helpful:

What is the appropriate manner of contact?
What were the circumstances of the tragedy?

Ongoing support
Maintain contact with those who may need ongoing support, often at times and in locations outside of the normal class routine. The following should be considered:

Consideration should be given to personal contact with victims and those affected by the incident outside of normal hours. Family and friends are a priority. The Critical Incident Team will assess those affected by the incident and make referrals for counselling and/or advice to agencies outside of those normally used.
Appropriate cultural responses may be put in place, interpreters may be provided, and overseas authorities, such as embassies and legations, notified.
Where appropriate, staff and students may need to be directed to seek professional counselling. Counselling of staff and students will be a priority for incidents where trauma may be experienced. Special Leave will be considered where necessary.
There may be a need to issue a written statement to staff and students, within the guidelines of the Privacy Act 1988 to inform them of the incident.
There may be a need to identify others who may be affected by the incident to provide re-assurance and minimise distress.

It is important to return to normality as soon as possible. The Chief Executive Officer should meet with staff at the end of the working day to debrief staff and assist in the recovery process.

Question 20

Deferral, Suspension and Cancellation Policy

Accepted Answer

Student enrolment can be deferred, suspended or cancelled in limited circumstances by Academy of Entrepreneurs or by the student. When deferral, suspension or cancellation of enrolment is initiated by Academy of Entrepreneurs, the student has the right to appeal the decision.

Deferral, suspension or cancellation
Academy of Entrepreneurs will maintain a record of any decisions to defer or suspend a student’s enrolment. When Academy of Entrepreneurs defers or suspends a student’s enrolment it will notify the Department of Education and Training through PRISMS.

The Department of Home Affairs will be notified of a student whose course has been deferred, suspended or cancelled through PRISMS. A student’s visa would not be cancelled if the deferral is for compassionate or compelling reasons.

Where Academy of Entrepreneurs defers or suspends a student’s studies for compassionate or compelling reasons, it will ensure the student visa holder has a valid CoE in PRISMS with a start date that reflects the student’s intended date of return to studies. The length of time a student may have their enrolment suspended is at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of Academy of Entrepreneurs.

A student’s enrolment may not be suspended more than one (1) Term without the circumstances being re-assessed. The student will be notified in advance of the reasons and the timeframe of the suspension. A student may appeal a suspension decision through Academy of Entrepreneurs appeals process.

A student’s visa may be cancelled if the deferral or suspension:
is due to the conduct of the student
is for reasons other than compassionate or compelling circumstances
the compassionate or compelling circumstances which warranted the deferral or suspension of studies cease to exist
is based on fraudulent evidence or documents given to the Academy of Entrepreneurs.

Effect on Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)
Academy of Entrepreneurs will advise overseas students that deferring, suspending or cancelling their enrolment on any grounds may affect their student visa.
There are three possible outcomes for a student’s CoE:

The registered provider notifies the Department of Education and Training through PRISMS that they are deferring or suspending an overseas student’s enrolment for a period without affecting the end date of the CoE. There will be no change to the CoE on PRISMS – the overseas student will still be listed as studying. However, the notice of deferment or suspension will be recorded in PRISMS.

The registered provider notifies the Department of Education and Training through PRISMS that they are deferring or suspending an overseas student’s enrolment for a period which will affect the end date of the CoE. PRISMS will cancel the original CoE and immediately offer the registered provider the opportunity to create a new CoE with a more appropriate end date. If the registered provider does not know when the overseas student will return, it can choose not to create a new CoE at that point, but to wait until the overseas student has notified the registered provider of the intended date of return before creating a new CoE.

The registered provider notifies the Department of Education and Training through PRISMS that it wishes to permanently cancel (terminate) the overseas student’s enrolment. Once this process is complete, the overseas student’s CoE status will be listed as ‘cancelled’. If the overseas student is under the age of 18, the cancellation of a CoE does not cancel a Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare (CAAW), and the registered provider is still responsible for welfare arrangements until one of the conditions of Standard 5.6 are met.

Where a student’s enrolment is deferred or suspended the period of suspension of enrolment (as entered in PRISMS) will not be included in attendance monitoring calculations.

Student-initiated deferrals, suspensions or cancellations of their enrolment
Student applying for course deferral must complete the Application for Deferral Form and provide support documentation to support@aestudy.com

Academy of Entrepreneurs will defer or suspend the enrolment of an overseas student if there are compassionate or compelling circumstances.

‘Compassionate or compelling’ circumstances are generally those beyond the control of the student and which have an impact upon the overseas student’s course progress or wellbeing. These could include, but are not limited to:

serious illness or injury, where a medical certificate states that the student was unable to attend classes
bereavement of close family members such as parents or grandparents (where possible a death certificate should be provided)
major political upheaval or natural disaster in the home country requiring emergency travel and this has impacted on the student’s studies;
a traumatic experience, which could include:
involvement in, or witnessing of a serious accident; or
witnessing or being the victim of a serious crime, and this has impacted on the student (these cases should be supported by police or psychologists’ reports)
where Academy of Entrepreneurs was unable to offer a pre-requisite unit, or the student has failed a prerequisite unit and therefore faces a shortage of relevant units for which they are eligible to enrol.

Academy of Entrepreneurs will assess each case on its individual merits including consideration of documentary evidence provided to support the claim. Copies of documentation will be kept in the student’s file.

Academy of Entrepreneurs-initiated deferrals, suspensions or cancellations of enrolment
Academy of Entrepreneurs may suspend or cancel a student’s enrolment on the basis of, but not limited to:

misbehaviour by the student
the student’s failure to pay the required amount to undertake or continue the course as stated in the Letter of Offer
a breach of course progress or attendance requirements.

Where a deferral, suspension or cancellation of enrolment is initiated by the Academy of Entrepreneurs, the student will be given a notice of intention to report and twenty (20) working days to access the complaints and appeals process. This applies even if a student’s misbehaviour is grounds for immediate expulsion, unless the student’s health or wellbeing, or the wellbeing of others, is likely to be at risk (as outlined below).

Academy of Entrepreneurs will proceed with the deferral, suspension, or cancellation after the internal complaints handling and appeals process has been completed in cases of misbehaviour and non-payment.

Academy of Entrepreneurs will wait for both the internal and external complaints handling and appeals processes to be completed in cases of course progress and/or attendance breaches.

Academy of Entrepreneurs may choose not to allow the student the opportunity to appeal a deferral, suspension or cancellation of enrolment when the student’s health or wellbeing, or the wellbeing of others, is likely to be at risk. Copies of documentation will be kept in the student’s file to support the decision.

This may include, but is not limited to when the student:

is missing;
has medical concerns, severe depression or psychological issues which lead the Academy of Entrepreneurs to fear for the overseas student’s wellbeing;
has engaged or threatens to engage in behaviour that is reasonably believed to endanger the student or others; or
is at risk of committing a criminal offence

A deferral, suspension or cancellation or cancellation of enrolment does not entitle a student to any refunds of fees already paid.

Question 21

Emergency Evaluation Procedures

Accepted Answer

In the event of an emergency that requires the evacuation of any Academy of Entrepreneurs campus, all students should follow the instruction of their trainer and the fire safety warden.

At all times, the class MUST stay together to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the staff and students.
 
Once students have evacuated the building they must proceed to the designated area so that the attendance sheets can be checked to ensure that all students have left the building. Students must stay with their trainer till the building is safe to re-enter or they have been dismissed.

Emergency exits are signposted with diagrams located in classrooms, hallways and other areas that indicate the appropriate exit to use and the meeting place. These procedures may be updated from time to time.

Academy of Entrepreneurs agrees to abide by the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 to protect the health, safety and welfare of staff and students through the provision of safe learning environments and equipment.

Emergency Procedure is as follows:

Fire alarm sounds and the class prepare to evacuate immediately
Students must line up ready and not waste time collecting belongings
Floor warden (with red or yellow hard hat) will give the signal to the trainer to evacuate with the class clearly pointing out the evacuation pathway
Trainer and students proceed to the designated assembly area using the fire stairs only (no lifts to be used in fire emergencies)
Attendance will be taken at the assembly area to ensure that all students and staff are present, and no one left on campus
Wait in the assembly area to receive further instructions and do not leave until told to do so by the Chief Warden.

Question 27

Monitoring Course Progress Policy

Accepted Answer

Academy of Entrepreneurs monitors students’ course progress for each course in which the student is enrolled.
The expected duration of study specified in the overseas student’s CoE must not exceed the CRICOS registered duration and Academy of Entrepreneurs monitors the progress of each student to ensure the overseas student is able to complete the course within the expected duration specified on the student’s CoE.
Academy of Entrepreneurs assesses the progress of each student for each unit and cumulatively at the end of each study period. A study period is defined as a Semester (26 weeks of study, made up of 6 Terms each). Satisfactory progress is achieved when a student successfully completes the assessment requirements for each unit within the timeframes specified in the Academic Calendar.
Where a student is identified at risk of not making satisfactory course progress, Academy of Entrepreneurs will contact the student and arrange counselling with the Student Happiness and Success Coordinator, to implement Academy of Entrepreneurs’ intervention strategies as outlined below.
Monitoring Procedure
Student work is assessed by the Trainer, who then uploads the results to the Student Record database and forwards a summary of the outcomes to the Student Success Coordinator and the Compliance Manager.
The Student Record database report is completed at the end of each term. This report identifies any student who is failing to successfully complete unit requirements as specified in the Academic Calendar.
The Compliance Manager will speak with the Trainer and the student, in the first instance, to determine whether the student is at risk of not achieving satisfactory progress.
Any student identified through this process as being at risk will be called to a counselling session. During this session, the Compliance Manager, in consultation with the student and Trainer, will establish a support or intervention program to help the student achieve satisfactory progress. Strategies will be determined on a case-by-case basis and will take into account the student’s current and previous academic results, attendance records, and any previously implemented intervention or counselling strategies.
Possible strategies may include:
English language support for technical assignments and comprehension
Assistance in creating workplace documents and reports
Preparation for practical skills assessments
Guidance on applying knowledge and skills in a simulated workplace
Development of presentation skills, particularly for business pitching
Referral to external agencies
Support or intervention strategies may also be requested by either the Trainer or the student at any point during the course if concerns arise regarding academic progress. The Compliance Manager will review and consider all such requests.
A summary of the support or intervention actions to be implemented will be recorded in the Student Record database. Notes from any meetings held will also be documented and stored in the student’s file.
A student will not be reported for unsatisfactory progress until the support or intervention strategy has been implemented and sufficient time has been allowed for the strategy to take effect.
Unsatisfactory Course progress
Unsatisfactory course progress is defined as a student failing to successfully complete and achieve competency in at least 50% of the course requirements in that study period. At Academy of Entrepreneurs a study period is defined as a Semester (20 weeks of study).
Where a student is assessed as having made unsatisfactory progress for two consecutive study periods even after implementation of the support/intervention strategy Academy of Entrepreneurs will report the student through PRISMS and the student’s Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) will be cancelled. This may also result in the cancellation of the student visa.
Reporting unsatisfactory progress
Before making the unsatisfactory course report, Academy of Entrepreneurs will:
notify the student in writing of the intention to report;
Identify the reasons for the intention to report; and
advise the student they have twenty (20) working days to access Academy of Entrepreneurs complaints and appeals process prior to being reported.
The student may appeal the decision to report them on the following grounds:
A competency decision has been inaccurately recorded or calculated.
Compassionate or compelling circumstances.
The intervention strategy has not been implemented according to Academy of Entrepreneurs’ own documented policy and procedure.
Academy of Entrepreneurs will only report unsatisfactory course progress in PRISMS if:
the complaints and appeals processes have been completed and the decision or recommendation supports the Academy of Entrepreneurs; or
the student has chosen not to access the complaints and appeals process within the 20-working day period; or
the student withdraws from the appeals processes by notifying the Academy of Entrepreneurs in writing.
Academy of Entrepreneurs may decide not to report the student for breaching the attendance requirements if:
the student is still attending at least 70 per cent of the scheduled course contact hours; or
the student is maintaining satisfactory course progress.

Question 28

Monitoring Attendance Policy

Accepted Answer

Academy of Entrepreneurs monitors the attendance of all students in the course.
Attendance is calculated as the percentage of the course scheduled contact hours for which a student is present and recorded as present in TRUSS. The face-to-face contact hours for attendance for each week at Academy of Entrepreneurs monitors is 14 hours (in addition to 6hrs of online learning).
A student who has been absent without reason for more than 5 days or who misses 15% of the scheduled contact hours in one Term will receive a request to meet with the Success Manager and to attend a formal counselling session. This session is to discuss the possible reasons for non-attendance and to work out what support is required to assist the students to improve their attendance pattern.
Monitoring satisfactory attendance procedures
The trainer of each class will record the attendance of each student on the Attendance register within 15 minutes of class commencing.
The Academic Manager will enter the attendance data into TRUSS at the end of each class. At the end of each fortnight attendance reports will be run to identify any student who has missed 5 consecutive days without approval or who has been marked absent for 15% of the scheduled contact hours for the course.
In order apply for a temporary leave request for more than 5 consecutive days please complete the Application for Leave form and send it to support@aestudy.com.
The purpose of this monitoring is to identify students at risk of falling below the 80% attendance requirements for each study period (A study period is defined as a Semester 20 weeks of study, made up of 4 Terms of 5 weeks each), so that the support/intervention process can be started.
Student Holidays
Students are expected to take breaks only during the designated term breaks. These dates are provided on the Academic Calendar, website and student handbook. Any other breaks are to be negotiated with the Academic Manager.
Completion within Expected Duration
Academy of Entrepreneurs monitors, records and assesses the progress of each student for each unit of competency and cumulatively at the end of each Study Period (A study period is defined as a Semester 20 weeks of study, made up of 4 Terms of 5 weeks each). The expected duration of study as specified on the CoE must not exceed the CRICOS registered duration for the course except in cases where the expected duration has been extended with the Academy of Entrepreneurs approved criteria as listed below.
Where it is clear that a student at Academy of Entrepreneurs will not complete the course within expected duration as specified on the CoE Academy of Entrepreneurs will only extend the duration of the study for the reasons listed below:

there are compassionate or compelling circumstances, as assessed by the registered provider on the basis of demonstrable evidence, or
the registered provider has implemented, or is in the process of implementing, an intervention strategy for the overseas student because the overseas student is at risk of not meeting course progress requirements, or
an approved deferral or suspension of the overseas student's enrolment has occurred under Standard 9 (Deferring, suspending or cancelling the overseas student's enrolment).
If there is a variation to the student’s timetable and workload which may affect the completion date, it will be recorded on the students file and in the student management system. If this change to a student’s work load means that the student’s period of study has to be extended, Academy of Entrepreneurs will report the change via PRISMS and issue a new CoE.
Compelling or compassionate circumstances are defined as things outside of the control of the student and which may have an influence on the student being able to complete their study program under the original CoE. They include things such as:

Serious illness or injury. A medical certificate is needed stating the student is unable to come to class.
Death of a close family member.
Major political unrest in home country or natural disaster.
The student being witness to a crime or having a crime committed against them.
Academy of Entrepreneurs being unable to offer a prerequisite unit.
Where an incident has occurred, and the support mechanism has been put in place the intervention strategy will monitor any difficulty the student may have to complete within the expected duration of the course.
Reporting unsatisfactory progress
Academy of Entrepreneurs will only report unsatisfactory course attendance in PRISMS if:

the complaints and appeals processes have been completed and the decision or recommendation supports the Academy of Entrepreneurs; or
the student has chosen not to access the complaints and appeals process within the 20-working day period; or
the student withdraws from the appeals processes by notifying the Academy of Entrepreneurs in writing.
Academy of Entrepreneurs may decide not to report the student for breaching the attendance requirements if:

the student is still attending at least 70 per cent of the scheduled course contact hours; or
the student is maintaining satisfactory course progress.

Question 29

Plagiarism Policy

Accepted Answer

Academy of Entrepreneurs is committed to ensuring a great learning experience for its students. It aims to provide a learning environment that fosters the qualities of independent learning and academic integrity.
This policy seeks to encourage ethical conduct and to inform staff and students about the Academy of Entrepreneurs’ standards of academic behaviour. Students have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity in their work. Students must not cheat in assessment and must ensure that they do not plagiarise.
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is the act of misrepresenting as one's own original work the ideas, interpretations, words or creative works of another. These include published and unpublished documents, designs, music, sounds, images, photographs, computer codes and ideas gained through working in a group. These ideas, interpretations, words or works may be found in print and/or electronic media.
Academic integrity
One of the core functions of Academy of Entrepreneurs is to develop students’ ability to apply critical reasoning to assessment activities through independent thought and to make decisions that reflect the student’s considerations of the task or workplace requirement.
Academy of Entrepreneurs acknowledges that to develop this ability, the student will study the work of others via issued textbooks, learning material or through their own research. It is important that students acknowledge, through appropriate referencing, earlier work from which they have drawn information.
Referencing
Referencing demonstrates that the student has read the issued material or has undertaken their own research in other sources.
Students should understand that assignment and project work submitted for assessment must consist of original effort. It is insufficient to simply copy work from other sources and submit it, even if those sources are appropriately acknowledged. Work submitted by a student must have an original component.
The following are examples of plagiarism where a student intentionally does not acknowledgement or reference an author or source:

Direct copying of paragraphs, sentences, a single sentence or significant parts of a sentence;
Direct copying of paragraphs, sentences, a single sentence or significant parts of a sentence with an end reference but without quotation marks around the copied text;
Copying ideas, concepts, research results, computer codes, statistical tables, designs, images, sounds or text or any combination of these;
Paraphrasing, summarising or simply rearranging another person's words, ideas, etc., without reference or explanation;
Offering an idea or interpretation that is not one's own without identifying whose idea or interpretation it is;
A ‘cut and paste' of statements from multiple sources;
Presenting as independent, work done in collaboration with others;
Copying or adapting another student's original work into a submitted assessment item;
Copying or adapting a student’s own work submitted in a previous essay or assessment;
Alternatively, there will be instances when a student unintentionally fails to cite sources or to do so adequately.
Careless or inadequate referencing or failure to reference will be considered poor practice. Where careless referencing is identified, the student will be required to correct the error and resubmit an assignment.
How to reference
At Academy of Entrepreneurs, students are to be encouraged to apply the Harvard Referencing System in-text citation. This approach requires three pieces of information about a source within the text of the students work. This information is:

the name of the author or authors
the year of publication
the page number/s.
Examples
Citations may be placed at the end of a sentence (before the concluding punctuation) in brackets, for example:

To succeed, the team will rely on both task process and group process (Dwyer, Hopwood 2010, p. 239)
A reference may be placed in the text to integrate the author’s surname into the sentence, followed by the year of publication and page number, in brackets, for example:

Dwyer and Hopwood (2010, p. 239) identify that to succeed, the team will rely on both task process and group process.
Reference List
At the end of the students work, a List of References should be included. This should include all the books, journal articles and other sources of information you have used to research your assignment. The reference list should be laid out alphabetically, the title of the source should be italicised and each reference should include:

the name of the author or authors
the year of publication
the title of the publication
the edition of publication
the publisher
place of publication.
Example: Dwyer, J and Hopwood, N, 2010, Management Strategies and Skills, Sydney, McGraw Hill Australia
Common Knowledge
In every field, there is a body of knowledge and material that has become part of the public domain and which can be drawn on without specific acknowledgment. Common knowledge includes facts that are generally known, such as common facts of history, common sense information, accepted folklore and aphorisms that have been adopted as part of common English language.
As examples, it would not be necessary to reference the following:

That John Howard was the Prime Minister of Australia (common fact of history)
That humans need food and water for survival (common sense observation)
That the “Bunyip” is a man-eating Australian animals that live in water-holes, swamps and creeks (accepted Australian folklore).
Cheating
Cheating is defined as ‘a form of deceit with a view to gaining an advantage for the cheat’. At Academy of Entrepreneurs, cheating is usually related to taking unauthorised material into assessments. Academy of Entrepreneurs’ trainers have a responsibility to explain clearly expectations related to any assessment, what constitutes cheating, and to promote a climate of honesty in students.
Staff responsibilities
Academy of Entrepreneurs’ staff are responsible to:

Inform all students of expectations related to assessment;
Inform all students of referencing techniques and provide clear examples of what is acceptable;
Explain to students what constitutes plagiarism;
Set realistic assessment activities and vary assignments and questions;
Assist students to understand and apply correct referencing techniques;
Set appropriate conditions for group activities and make clear the distinction between group work and individual work; and
Cultivate a climate of mutual respect for original work.
Student responsibilities
Students are responsible to:

Submit only work that is their own or that properly acknowledges the ideas, interpretations, words or creative works of others;
Avoid lending original work to others for any reason;
Be clear about assessment conditions and seek clarification if in doubt;
Be clear about what is appropriate referencing and the consequences of inappropriate referencing;
Discourage others from plagiarising by observing the practices above.
Dealing with plagiarism
In the case of suspected plagiarism, the staff member will report the incident to the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with the staff member will determine if the plagiarism has resulted from poor academic practice or was intentional. This preliminary step may involve an informal interview with the student.
The Chief Executive Officer and staff member will:

consider the extent of the plagiarism (noting that the more extensive the plagiarism, the more likely it was intentional);
review the course profile and other information provided to students by the trainer to determine if adequate information had been given;
identify if the student has been previously warned of plagiarism;
determine whether the student is new to adult vocational education and training (it would be expected that continuing students would be more likely to understand plagiarism and its consequences).
If the above factors have been considered and it has been determined that the plagiarism has arisen from poor academic practice, the student is to be requested to revise the work and resubmit it for the assessment.
If, after consideration of the above factors it is determined that the plagiarism was intentional, the student’s work is not to be accepted and the student is to be issued with an alternative assessment assignment to complete. The student is to be given a formal warning (in writing) by the Chief Executive Officer explaining the seriousness of the incident and the consequences if the student is found to plagiarise again.
Students who commit plagiarism after being formally warned are to be dealt with according to the Behaviour Misconduct Policy.
