Can an RTO enrol an overseas visitor into a course without being CRICOS registered?

B
Can an RTO enrol an overseas visitor into a course without being CRICOS registered?

CRICOS (The Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students) is the Australian official register of training providers approved to deliver courses to international students on a Student Visa. Any course undertaken by a Student Visa holder must be listed on CRICOS and delivered by a CRICOS-registered provider.

In some cases, a registered training organisation (RTO) may enrol students who are temporarily visiting or living in Australia on other types of visas (not a Student Visa). However, many visas include restrictions on study or training. It is each individual’s responsibility to check their visa conditions to confirm their study and work rights. You can verify these with the Department of Home Affairs.
