QIBA has been a Registered Training Organisation since 1986. QIBA has been widely recognised as a pioneer in international education and has been home to more than 20,000 students from around the world.

In addition, QIBA delivers Professional Year Internship (PYP) programs for IT graduates in Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, Hobart and the Gold Coast in partnership with the Australian Computer Society.
QIBA has built a global reputation and Trans National Education expertise through managing International Projects in China, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, New Caledonia and through designing Specific Purpose study tours. This includes the delivery of an off-shore University Preparation program in Tianjin, China at the University of Science and Technology (now in 2025, in its 19th year).
QIBA meets Commonwealth and State Government standards for compliance of education delivery to international students. These include:
QIBA has become an important feeder of International University pathway students. Pathways include University preparation English programs and AQF Diplomas which attract 1 year credit in most Australian Bachelor degree programs.
QIBA currently has articulation/pathway arrangements in place with providers that grant advanced standing into their Bachelor degree for students who have completed certain QIBA VET courses. This not only helps the students to secure a place with a higher education provider but also is a cost-effective way to attain a Diploma and an Associate/Bachelor degree.
QIBA's history shows the achievements of a robust and professionally developed staff, across a range of disciplines. It is our mission to 'empower international students' through innovative programs so they can 'reach their potential' in business and enterprise, while becoming 'responsible global citizens'. We are ready to engage with new international clients from anywhere, anytime. At QIBA, students feel part of a close-knit community, while building important international relations with fellow students and teachers.
"Our advantage is our 'engaging' organisational culture, based on Collaboration, Service excellence, Integrity, Empowerment and Creativity"
