Is there a requirement for specific holiday periods for CRICOS courses?

Answer

Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) providers must ensure their course duration is based on full-time study – this is a minimum of 20 scheduled course contact hours a week.  The registered course duration must be appropriate for your student cohort to ensure they can complete the course, include holiday periods during the course and work-based training.

Holiday periods cannot be included at the start or end of the registered course duration – i.e.  exceeding the time students need to complete the course requirements.
