In April 2020, VIA Education adopted flexibility to the delivery mode for its courses and implemented fully online delivery of its courses in light of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) revised the fully online delivery to overseas students in October 2022. ASQA now expects that all education providers will transition to compliance with the ESOS National Code by 30 June 2023, when it is safe and practical to do so. VIA Education will resume the face-to-face classes from Term 3 of 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.How do I get information about the return to face-to-face classes? 

VIA Education will send regular emails with information on return to face-to-face classes throughout Term 1 and Term 2 of 2023.

Please check your emails. Sometimes emails can go into these folders because of your email settings and security, so don’t forget to check spam or junk emails.

2.I am currently in my home country. Can I continue my studies online after June 2023? 

Suppose you are currently enrolled and have an Australian student visa. In that case, you must make arrangements to return to Australia as soon as possible. The Australian Government opened its borders to overseas students. You must attend face-to-face classes from term 3, 2023, onwards.

3.I am a new student starting my course with VIA Education. Do I have to come to campus to attend orientation?

Yes, you must come to campus to attend the orientation. Please contact our student services team if you feel unwell on orientation day. 

4.Can I defer the start date of my course?

The course deferral may impact your student visa. You may need to extend your current student visa to complete your studies. Please speak to our student services team before deciding. VIA Education’s deferral, suspension and cancellation policy applies in all cases.
