Re-priced CRICOS ELICOS provider with great courses and capacity (REF: 1554)

Potential

The opportunity is now sharper at $215k. A buyer is not paying for inflated goodwill; they are acquiring a CRICOS ELICOS platform with published 488 capacity, established systems and recognised English programs. Growth sits in restarting delivery, rebuilding agent and pathway relationships, targeting Working Holiday Visa cohorts, expanding High School Preparation and using automation to convert enquiries while reducing admin cost. The low-cost premises option may suit a lean restart or integration into an existing provider.

Lease

Relocatable and scalable

Reason for Sale

The vendor has taken on other opportunities and advised that it became impractical to manage both those commitments and the college. The last student was 2 March 2026. This creates a cleaner handover and proper compliance for a buyer focused on restart, integration or strategic CRICOS expansion. The vendor has indicated flexibility for either a clean handover or transition support.

History

The business has operated for more than 10 years, with the earlier establishment phase extending its education history further. It developed from English language training into a CRICOS-registered ELICOS provider with Melbourne delivery locations and a recognised course mix. Source material identifies established systems including Moodle, Axcelerate and Xero integration, plus an online portal supporting delivery and teacher recruitment. New enrolments ceased in early 2026 and students were transferred to alternative providers.

About the Business

This is a re-priced CRICOS ELICOS acquisition opportunity now offered at $215k. The earlier $250k position was not converting the market strongly enough. The revised price gives buyers a clearer value proposition: acquire the registration platform, course mix, systems and Melbourne presence without paying an inflated trading-business premium.

This should be viewed as an integration or strategic expansion opportunity This reduces immediate handover complexity. It suits a buyer that has the capability and commercial discipline to reactivate delivery properly.

Key buyer highlights:

• CRICOS ELICOS provider with published capacity of 488.
• Scope includes General English, English4IELTS, PTE Preparation, High School Access and Preparation and English for Vocational Education and Training Pathways across Construction, Hospitality, Health and Business IT.
• Systems include Axcelerate, Xero integration and Moodle-based learning content.
• Online portal developed to support delivery and teacher recruitment.
• Optional vendor handover support may be available for up to three months.

The strongest buyer is likely to be an existing CRICOS, ELICOS or education operator that can quickly rebuild agent channels, relaunch compliant delivery and use existing infrastructure to absorb the registration efficiently. A first-time buyer may still be interested, but they should not kid themselves: this needs operational follow-through, compliance control and relationship-led growth. The upside is real, but it belongs to a buyer who knows how to restart momentum.
