Education and Training Reform Act 2006

A provider of a continuing education program may apply to the Institute for renewal of an endorsement given under section 2.6.6Y in respect of the program before the endorsement expires.

An application made under subsection (1) must be—

in the form approved by the Institute; and

accompanied by the application fee fixed by the Minister.

If the Institute has not considered an application under subsection (1) before the expiry of the endorsement, the endorsement is taken to be current until the Institute has determined the application.

The Institute may renew the endorsement of a program, unit or course of study as a continuing education program if—

the Institute has had regard to any advice or recommendations given to it under section 2.6.6ZC; and

the Institute has had regard to any requirements, criteria or standards for continuing education programs that have been agreed to with other States, Territories or the Commonwealth, including teacher registration authorities in those States or Territories; and

the Institute has considered whether the provider of the program has complied with any conditions imposed on the existing endorsement and any previous endorsement given; and

the program satisfies the requirements, criteria and standards set by the Institute under section 2.6.6W and in force at the time the application for renewal is made.

If the Institute renews the endorsement of a continuing education program under subsection (4), the Institute must—

give the provider written notice of the renewal of the endorsement; and

specify in the written notice—

the period for which the renewed endorsement is given; and

that the Institute may impose conditions on the endorsement being renewed under section 2.6.6ZA at any time for the duration of the endorsement.
