IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING REGISTRATION AND ACCREDITATION

The National Australian Institute of Science and Technology – NAIST (formerly called Australian National Institute of Higher Education – ANIHE) offered accredited Associate Diploma, Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Business Administration and Management courses from the year 1994 – July 2006.

The Training Accreditation Council of Western Australia registered and accredited NAIST until the 31st March 2008 to offer the Diploma of Business and Advanced Diploma of Business in the area of Management, Human Resource and Marketing. However, NAIST on the 3rd July 2006 wrote to inform the Accreditation Council that it wishes to cease offering Accredited vocational Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses. This is to enable NAIST to focus on offering degree courses in association with foreign universities but the courses are not designed for the Australian students and are not accredited in Australia. NAIST is also focusing on consultancy programs with foreign universities and colleges of higher education. However, although NAIST applied to cease being a registered Training Provider with effect from 3rd July 2006, it is still a legally registered organization in Australia.

We at NAIST would like to take this opportunity to thank the Training Accreditation Council of Western Australia for their tremendous support and assistance during the period of NAIST’s registration and accreditation as a Training Provider of Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses.

The accredited Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses that NAIST used to offer are listed on this website for information only. The email and website of NAIST remain the same.
