The national body that sets standards or oversees education providers in each region — the starting point before looking for anything more specific: FTC, CFPB, Dept. of Education (US), Ofsted, Office for Students, Department for Education (UK), ASQA (Australia), European Education Area (EU).
See all Education Regulators & Authorities →Check whether a school or qualification is actually accredited before you pay for it — a different function from the regulators above: CHEA and DAPIP (US), CRICOS (Australia), RUCT (Spain), the European Qualifications Framework (EU).
See all Accreditation & Qualification Databases →The major online course and cohort-learning platforms' own sites — for course access, refunds, or account issues, go through the platform first: Coursera, Udemy, Skillshare, Teachable, Kajabi, MasterClass, LinkedIn Learning.
See all Learning Platforms →Confirm a school is actually approved to sponsor an international student before you enroll or apply for a visa — distinct from general accreditation above: CRICOS (Australia), the UK Register of Licensed Sponsors, the US SEVP School Search.
See all Student Visa & International Study Verification →Where a student actually goes to complain once the school or platform hasn't resolved it — distinct from the regulators and accreditation checkers above: the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (UK), the Tuition Protection Service (Australia), the Financial Ombudsman Service (UK), the CFPB complaint portal (US).
See all Student Complaint & Ombudsman Bodies →Turn a qualification or work history into a format employers and institutions across the EU actually recognize — a different use case from the accreditation databases above: Europass.
See all Europass & EU Qualification Recognition →25 in-depth guides — kept separate by jurisdiction, never merged, since education law and student rights differ sharply by region.
Bootcamps have marketed Income Share Agreements as "not a loan" for years. The CFPB disagrees — and that distinction changes what protections actually apply to you.
A "99% placement rate" sounds precise. The precision is often the problem — it usually depends entirely on how "placed" is defined, and who gets left out of the count.
Full compliance with the FTC's updated children's privacy rule was due April 22, 2026 — separate parental consent for third-party data sharing, biometric identifiers now counted as personal information, and no EdTech-specific exemption to lean on.
If your school closed or defrauded you, you may be able to get your federal student loans discharged — but the rules governing that process changed significantly in 2025, and older guidance online may point you to a standard that's no longer in effect.
A fake accreditor's seal can look identical to a real one on a website. Two independent, free-to-search databases let you check the actual status directly — never take the school's own claim at face value.
Sponsor licence revocations more than doubled in 2025. If it happens to your college, your visa gets curtailed to 60 days — here's exactly what that means and what to do with them.
The single-word verdicts of "Outstanding" or "Inadequate" no longer exist. Since November 2025, Ofsted issues a multi-area report card instead — a genuinely different system independent training providers need to prepare for differently.
A blanket "deposit non-refundable in all circumstances" clause is exactly the kind of unfair contract term the CMA has specifically warned universities about — here's how to build a claim.
Since the Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022 gained Royal Assent, offering or advertising a contract cheating service to a UK student carries a criminal fine — on top of whatever a university's own disciplinary process does separately.
A training provider that draws down Levy funds but delivers little real training doesn't just waste your budget — it can trigger a compliance audit of your business too. Here's how to check before that happens.
A multi-year Danish investigation into a single municipality's Chromebooks eventually found 53 municipalities sharing student data with Google unlawfully — a pattern that's directly relevant to any EU school evaluating US-based EdTech.
"Once you click into the virtual classroom, there's no refund" is a common claim from online academies — but under EU consumer law, that claim only holds up if the platform followed a very specific process before you paid.
National Agencies can and do demand full repayment of mobility grants when documentation doesn't hold up — the failure is almost always administrative, not fraud, and almost always preventable.
A "Master" marketed as European or Bologna-accredited can still be an unofficial private qualification, with no legal standing for doctoral entry or public sector exams — and only your own country's official register will tell you the difference.
A short course marketed as following "the European micro-credentials standard" sounds like a guarantee of recognition — but the underlying framework is a non-binding recommendation, and implementation still varies significantly by country.
When an ELICOS college, RTO, or university stops delivering your course, the Tuition Protection Service gives international students a legal right to either a place in a comparable course or a full refund — but you have to know how to activate it.
The 2015 Standards for RTOs are gone. Since 1 July 2025, ASQA regulates against an entirely restructured framework that prioritizes demonstrated outcomes over paperwork — and audit preparation needs to change accordingly.
A legitimate Recognition of Prior Learning assessment involves real scrutiny of your actual work evidence. A provider promising a qualification in days, with minimal evidence required, is a pattern ASQA has repeatedly cancelled certifications over.
If an education agent pointed you toward a specific course because of the commission it paid rather than because it fit your goals, the provider that engaged that agent is the one legally accountable for it.
Hundreds of unpaid hours can be entirely lawful if your placement meets the Fair Work Act's specific criteria — or it can be unlawful unpaid work if it doesn't. The difference isn't about the industry or the hours; it's about a precise legal test.
A 7-day free trial that quietly becomes a $400 annual charge is a familiar pattern on platforms like Coursera and MasterClass. The federal rule meant to stop this was struck down in court in 2025 — but state law, especially California's, is still very much in force.
A properly filed DMCA takedown notice creates a real legal obligation for the platform to act — a vague report through a generic "report content" button often doesn't.
The hosting platform will usually tell you it's just software and the creator sets the refund policy. That's often technically true — but it doesn't mean you're out of options.
A 2-3 year "permanencia" contract for civil service exam prep, quietly financed through a consumer credit agreement, can feel impossible to escape — even after you stop attending. In Spain, and in similar EU frameworks, "linked credit" law may let you cancel both at once.
A platform diploma claiming to "qualify you to practice" psychology, coaching, or critical-facility design professionally means nothing unless it comes from a body legally authorized to confer that qualification — and in many regulated fields, no online platform is.
