Audits

If you are a PTE that receives funding from TEC, you are probably aware that you have to meet TEC’s accountability and reporting requirements. To monitor that these requirements are being met, TEC may conduct an on-site audit. Failure to meet these requirements could result in a loss of funding.

If you have been notified of an upcoming TEC audit but want a pre-audit to check that you cover all the criteria in the funding guide, then QED Associates can assist you. Please use our contact form or phone (09) 8184289.

Conferences

Registrations are now invited for the 2007 Open & Distance Learning Association of Australia (ODLAA) Conference being held at Lincoln University, Canterbury 11-14 November, 2007.

The conference is entitled ‘Cultures, Collaborations, Cognitions and Communities’.
