International Courses

As a Registered Training Organisation, the Institute of Skills and Training Australia (ISTA) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of competency-based training that is effectively targeted at building both individual and organisational capability.

International students bring diversity, new perspectives, and cultural exchange to ISTA, contributing to a more inclusive and globally focused learning environment. The Institute of Skills and Training Australia is committed to ensuring that your study experience in Australia is valuable, enriching, and supportive of your future career in a global environment. Studying with ISTA exposes students to a range of learning experiences and practical challenges, with courses designed to deliver a balanced mix of theory and hands-on training. We work closely with students to support their understanding of living and working in Australia, including adapting to Australian workplace expectations and business culture.

Participants entering these programs may be eligible for recognition of prior learning (RPL) for previous relevant experience and study, in line with the ISTA recognition process. As part of ISTA’s commitment to quality training, the International Student Handbook provides clear and accurate information about course offerings, as well as the rights and responsibilities of both ISTA and its participants. In addition, ISTA continues to grow its international student enrolments through inclusive, packaged course offerings. These pathways are designed to support students through a structured learning journey that may include English language support (where required), vocational training, and clear progression into further study or employment opportunities.

ISTA’s focus remains on accessibility, cultural inclusivity, and strong student support. By developing flexible delivery models and strengthening global partnerships, ISTA aims to increase participation from international learners while ensuring every student is equipped with the skills, confidence, and qualifications needed for future career success.

ISTA is a Registered Training Organisation and therefore have an obligation and responsibility to you the learner to ensure the quality of training and assessment delivered to you is compliant with the Standards for RTOs including the Outcome Standards, Compliance Standards, and Credential Policy, and that the issuance of your Qualifications and Statement of Attainment meet the requirements of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF). Our organisation is licensed under the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) to teach overseas students on student visas in Australia.
