- is not a Citizen or a Permanent Resident of Australia; and
- either holds a valid Australian student visa or intends to apply for an Australian student visa before the commencement of the course.
All international students who intend to study in Australia on a student visa require a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). The CoE (Confirmation of Enrolment) is an official document generated via PRISMS (Provider Registration and International Student Management System) that provides important information about your enrolment status. This document is required to be submitted to the Department of Home Affairs before applying for a student visa.
You must have a valid CoE at all times while you are studying on a student visa.
A Domestic Student is a person who is:
- a Citizen of Australia; or
- a Permanent Resident of Australia; or
- a Citizen of New Zealand; or
- a holder of an Australian Visa (other than a Student Visa) that allows them to study in Australia with no limitations on study.
Domestic students do not require a CoE (generated via PRISMS) as they do not need to apply for a student visa. They are provided with an enrolment confirmation from NIT via email, once their enrolment is finalised. Note: If you are a holder of an Australian visa, other than a student visa, you must have sufficient remaining duration on your visa to complete your studies at the National Institute of Technology from the date of your course commencement.

Testimonials
What our students say
about NIT
My experience at NIT has been very positive. The trainers are always helpful and respond quickly whenever I have questions, which helped me build strong networking skills. While working as a delivery driver, I used my free time to apply for jobs—and thanks to the knowledge I gained, I was offered a role as a digital marketing coordinator at a private company in Perth. I’m really grateful for the learning environment I received at NIT.
Conrado Pereira
I’m very satisfied with my decision to study the Diploma of IT Networking at NIT Australia. The course includes a good mix of theoretical learning and practical activities, which helps make the content easier to understand. The trainers are experienced, helpful, and always willing to assist students. Studying here has boosted my confidence, and I believe it will give me a competitive edge as I build my career in Australia.
Kieu Phuong
Since I joined NIT, I’ve developed a wide range of hands-on skills, especially related to internet infrastructure and networking equipment. The trainers are experienced and passionate, and their guidance makes learning enjoyable. Combining my background in Business Administration with my current IT studies, I now feel more confident and capable of pursuing a meaningful career.
Daniela Vasquez Alvarado
I was studying at a different college which I didn’t enjoy and I was scared I may have the same experience at NIT, but it was the opposite when I came here which I am happy about. I never thought I would understand programming but gradually I am gaining more knowledge in this field better than I ever thought I would. The trainers work very hard to ensure students get the help we need and I feel like we are a part of a family here.
Nikola Kirsty Parsons
I’m currently doing the Advanced Diploma of Telecommunications Network Engineering to gain more knowledge in fibre and DWDM technologies, which are the future of telecom. The trainers bring a lot of real-world experience, especially from working in the mining and telecom sectors. The classes are informative and well-structured. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone interested in modern networking solutions.
Rosario Merenda
I’ve had a very good experience at NIT thanks to the trainers and staff, who are always helpful and kind. Elaine, the internship manager, is also guiding me through the internship process, which is provided at no extra cost for IT students. What I appreciate most is how the school listens to students and continuously works to improve our overall experience. I truly feel supported here and would recommend NIT to others.
