Lonsdale Institute Suddenly Closes, Leaving Thousands of Students and Staff in Limbo
Lonsdale Institute Pty Ltd has unexpectedly closed its doors, leaving behind a significant impact on the education sector. Established in 2007, the institute operated from four locations in Melbourne and Sydney, offering a total CRICOS capacity of 3588 and 27 registered courses.
The sudden closure has left students and staff in limbo. Ian Aird, CEO of English Australia, expressed his sadness about the closure, stating that the loss of Lonsdale Institute is a blow to the education community.
The Lonsdale Institute's website is now offline, with no official statement yet released about the reasons behind the closure. The Tuition Protection Service (TPS) has stepped in to assist both students and staff during this transition period.
Lonsdale Institute's closure has resulted in the loss of a significant number of student places and teaching positions. The TPS is working diligently to ensure that students can continue their studies with minimal disruption, and that staff are supported during this challenging time.
