It is the responsibility of Ironwood Careers and Training (ICT) to undertake monitoring activities to ensure that its agents are acting in accordance with the responsibilities and expectations outlined in the education agent agreement and the National Code 2007.

National Code 2007 Standard 4 - Education Agents states:

Registered providers take all reasonable measures to use education agents that have an appropriate knowledge and understanding of the Australian international education industry and do not use education agents who are dishonest or lack integrity.

What standard 4 of the National Code 2007 contains:

4.3 The registered provider must not accept students from an education agent or enter into an agreement with an education agent if it knows or reasonably suspects the education agent to be

1. engaged in, or to have previously been engaged in, dishonest practices, including the deliberate attempt to recruit a student where this clearly conflicts with the obligations of registered providers under Standard 7 (Transfer between registered providers);
2. facilitating the enrolment of a student who the education agent believes will not comply with the conditions of his or her student visa
3. using Provider Registration and International Students Management System (PRISMS) to create Confirmations of Enrolment for other than bona fide a student; or
4. providing immigration advice where not authorised under the Migration Act 1958 to do so.

In order to meet compliance with this standard, ICT asks all its Education Agents to sign this declaration stating that they do not participate in any dishonest activities and have not been charged/arrested overseas or in Australia for any crime as described above under point 4.3.
