The Private Training Regulation and the Fees and Student Tuition Protection Fund Regulation have been amended by Order in Council. The majority of these changes are in force January 1, 2025.
The changes were initiated and approved to strengthen student supports and ensure a high-quality education for international students at private training institutions through higher standards and stricter requirements for institutions that enrol international students.
Key changes include requiring greater program content standards and improving protections for students at private training institutions. Improved student protections will include more generous refund policies, shorter maximum terms on contracts, and banning high pressure sales.
