•   A person who provides a course at a location to an overseas student must be registered to provide that course at that location (or do so in accordance with an arrangement with a provider who is so registered).

•   Division   2 creates an offence for a person who contravenes that requirement. It is also an offence for a registered provider to offer courses, or hold itself out as able to provide a course, to overseas students without being appropriately registered (or doing so in accordance with an appropriate arrangement).

•   Division   3 provides for the registration of providers by the ESOS agency for a provider. A provider may be registered (for a period of up to 7 years) to provide one or more courses at one or more locations to overseas students if the provider meets the registration requirements. Conditions may be imposed on the registration of a provider and those conditions may be varied or revoked.

•   Division   3 also provides for the renewal of registrations, the addition of one or more courses at one or more locations to a registered provider's registration and the extension or continuation of registration periods in certain circumstances.

•   Division   4 requires the Secretary to cause a Register to be kept that contains specified information about the registration of all registered providers. The Secretary is also required to ensure that the Register is kept up - to - date.
