Location Details

Potential
Strong growth potential in high-demand sectors. The trade qualifications (Plumbing, Electrotechnology Electrician, Carpentry) sit in areas of workforce shortage, with scope to grow enrolments via apprenticeship and traineeship pathways. The active CRICOS registration, covering vocational and ELICOS English courses, lets a new owner build international enrolments, an avenue closed to new entrants while the CRICOS freeze runs until at least May 2027.

About the Business
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully accredited Registered Training Organisation holding both domestic RTO and active CRICOS registration, with a broad, high-demand scope.
Registered through to May 2031, the RTO delivers 12 nationally recognised qualifications across the trades, business, community services, and mental health sectors.
Its standout feature is a scope that includes hard-to-obtain trade qualifications such as:
- Certificate III in Plumbing
- Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician
- Certificate III in Carpentry
- Certificate III in Painting and Decorating
- Diploma of Building and Construction
- Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design.
The active CRICOS registration is a significant asset. With the Australian Government's freeze on new CRICOS registrations running until at least May 2027, buying an existing CRICOS provider is currently the only way to access the international student market. The CRICOS scope is broad, COVERING 14 COURSES including ELICOS English language programs such as IELTS Preparation, English for Academic Purposes, and General English. These English courses provide a natural feeder pathway, bringing international students in and progressing them into the vocational qualifications.
The business operates on a month-to-month lease, so a new owner can relocate to any state or territory and keep overheads flexible while building the operation. All qualifications are nationally recognised and approved to deliver and assess.
Full details, including financial information and due diligence materials, are available to registered enquirers who have completed a confidentiality agreement. Contact Adept Business Brokers to register your interest.
