NEAS Enterprise Resource Planning System

To help you plan your year ahead, NEAS Quality Assessors are using NEAS' new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to schedule your biennial Quality Review Visit.

NEAS Quality Assessors are sending Outlook invitations to your inbox with the day that your next Quality Review Visit is due.  We will then follow up with a confirmation phone call to plan times and schedules.

If you would like to discuss your Quality Assurance visit or any aspects of NEAS' services, don’t hesitate to give NEAS a call on 02 9954 6077.  All of our quality assurance services are conducted by NEAS staff members who are happy to answer your queries.

NEAS is at ANZA (Melbourne) 2016

NEAS will again be partnering ICEF in supporting and representing quality to the agents that refer their students to our Quality Endorsed schools.  NEAS General Manager Ana Bratkovic will be staffing NEAS' this week, holding meetings with over 40 agents on the 14th and 15th of April.  

So please make sure and swing by to say "hi" to Ana - who would love to share the vision of Quality Assurance in ELT!

NEAS discusses "NEAS Industry Review of the ELICOS National Roundtable Industry Consultation Report" with Dept of Education

In the latter half of 2015, NEAS facilitated a series of Consultative Fora with NEAS Quality Endorsed members around the country.

100 industry leaders and senior managers attended the sessions, taking advantage of the opportunity to provide comment and feedback on "what aspects (if any) of the ELICOS National Standards need to be changed".

The report has been tabled with the Ministers of Education, International Education and Tourism and Vocational Education. Discussions have also been held with senior Department of Education representatives about the findings of the report. 

A full copy of the report can be found here.
