Hi Colleen. You may like to consider our Graduate Certificate in Management (GCM) which is a postgraduate qualification and the first stage of our MBA program. See details on the course here - external link  Eligibility requires previous study at Advanced Diploma, Bachelor's degree or higher level, or sufficient management experience. You may also wish to consider our MBA Pathway program which upon completion will provide entry to our GCM program.

Thanks for your question Aaron. AIB is a member of AACSB International, but our programmes are not accredited by the association. Please do get in contact with us should you have any other queries. external link 

No the project results will only be considered for the year it was passed. To continue after a number of years you will have to contact AIB. Do you live in Trinidad and Tobago? If yes contact CTS

Hi L. Ramsey. We'd be delighted to welcome you back to AIB. You can reach out to our Student Support team by sending an email to enquiries@aib.edu.au. They can take a look at your student record and advise what will be required to get back into study.

Thank you very much

Hello, I know I will have to do another project but will my grade for the 12 completed modules be considered?

Thanks for your question Viv. If your Master's is recognised in Australia, you would be eligible for the MBA. No, we are not currently offering any scholarships. The first step is to confirm your eligibility here - external link 

Yes, they have many international students.

Yes it is possible. I was an international student.

Hi Del. No, unfortunately, we do not offer any qualifications in accounting.

From my experience, the difference is that the Agile MBA focusses very strongly on your own work experience - assignments and the research project are based on your own work place or one you are familiar with. I found this useful, as you have to look at things in your own workplace in a different way, and have implemented some of the findings of my assignments as a result. Insofar as accreditations go, both would have to meet the requirements of TEQSA (Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency) - it is pretty easy to search to make sure whichever institution you choose is registered. Hope this answers your question?

The "Agile" MBA offers (IMHO) more flexibility in how you complete the program that the standard units per trimester/semester model. I completed the course units under the 1 per month agenda (which has now sifted to 7 weeks per unit) and found that doing 3-4 units back to back, and a month off worked really well. It means that if you know you are going to have a particularly busy period (for example: EOFY) you can have that month free of academic commitments, and start your next subject on the enrolment date that suits your work/life schedule. Whereas with a trimester arrangement, you would not have the flexibility to accommodate all the demands on your time.

I hope the TEQSA realises that AIB does not really have a teaching they try to cunningly give the students a consizsed version of the text book and a pre recorded audio file. When you post comments on these website they respond stating they are upgrading thier teaching...but imagine the plight of current students who have absolutely no teaching to rely on. Avoid this at all costs until you can take a peek at thier poor course sch. They will also state online courses require autonomous and self learning -- which are lies, I have taken online courses from Griffith university and many others. Never such poor teaching material.

Thanks for your question Jimmy. We are happy to share that AIB courses have recently been reaccredited by TEQSA. TEQSA are yet to update their website. We understand that you may want to verify this with TEQSA. In that case, please don't hesitate to contact them - external link 

Hi Lulllm. Sorry to hear of your concerns with your recent assignment. We’d recommend booking in a time to talk with an academic about the past assignment and what can be done to better prepare for future ones. If you’re interested in doing so, please get in touch via student admin.

Hi LullLM, I agree. The assignment questions are generic and not specialised while assignment answers are expected to be specific. I find the whole teaching formatting clunky. It’s more about being able to read mounds of information and write good reports and essays rather than applied knowledge. 3 subjects in and can honestly say haven’t learnt much so far.

If your goal is to learn strategic business planning for profitability/small business entrepreneurship look elsewhere.

Hi Sharad. Thank you for your question. AIB is not affiliated with Gateway College. There are a number of entry paths into our MBA programme, however, one of which accepts a recognised Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree (AQF Level 6) and at least 3 years relevant work experience. If you are considering an MBA as your possible next step, you can find more information on our programme and entry requirements on our website - external link 

Thank you for your question. No, unfortunately we do not offer an Advanced Diploma top up course. We can suggest some possible other providers though if you are interested - please email courseadvisor@aib.edu.au

Hi Kerl. Yes, the maximum GPA possible is 7.

Hi Angela. We do not provide past exam papers. Should our students be looking for effective ways to study for exams, we recommend they review the study skills and exam guides available on the learning portal, and contact student admin for additional support.

Hi Bruce. Ones GPA will depend upon the grades earned throughout the programme. Our Graduate Certificate in Management (GCM) consists of four units, and is the first of three stages of the MBA programme.

For entry into the GCM, a completed Bachelor's degree or Advanced Diploma, along with relevant work experience, can qualify an applicant. We also offer an entry path which assesses professional work experience. A minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience, which must include at least 3 years of middle to senior management experience, is required to apply via this path.

Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us - courseadvisor@aib.edu.au
