Private colleges across Australia are offering last-minute discounts on a diploma in management that has been allegedly 'misused by shonks', as authorities move to deregister the qualification amid an immigration visa crackdown. The discounting has raised concerns that unscrupulous operators are exploiting diploma courses to secure visas rather than deliver genuine education, prompting scrutiny of the private vocational education sector.
