AIBT

AIBT is a private vocational education provider in Brisbane offering diplomas and certificates in business, IT, hospitality, and community services.

Australia Institute of Business and Technology (AIBT) is a private Registered Training Organisation (RTO 41138, CRICOS 03430J), not a university. Founded in 2015 under the legal entity Brighton Pacific Pty Ltd, it offers vocational qualifications, Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diplomas, and Advanced Diplomas, across campuses in Brisbane (Upper Mount Gravatt), Sydney (Blacktown), and Hobart. It is regulated by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) under the VET (vocational education and training) framework, and its qualifications are nationally recognised in Australia.

AIBT's programs are grouped under six schools: Branson School of Business and Technology, Diana School of Community Services, Edison School of Tech Sciences, Sheldon School of Hospitality, Ace Aviation Aerospace Academy, and Bespoke Grammar School of English. Popular courses include the Diploma of Business, Diploma of Information Technology, Diploma of Community Services, and Diploma of Hospitality Management. Tuition fees for international students range from approximately AUD 12,000 to AUD 16,000 per year depending on the program. These are vocational qualifications, not bachelor degrees.

AIBT has enrolled over 10,000 international students from more than 80 countries. Prospective students should be aware that ASQA initiated cancellation proceedings against AIBT's registration in 2019 over concerns about marketing practices, training standards, and staffing. AIBT contested the decision through the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and has continued operating. The institution does not hold any QS, Times Higher Education, or Shanghai world university ranking, as it is a vocational college rather than a degree-granting university.
