The Queensland Government has now released Stage 2 of its roadmap to easing restrictions, relaxing guidelines around family, friends and community as well as business and the economy. In line with relaxed restrictions, EET is implementing a staged and considered return of on-campus activities. Most teaching and learning activities have now resumed on campus, including face-to-face classes and assessment support. Any student who is still concerned about coming to the campus can still email trainers directly with questions or for any other support, should they wish.
The approach takes into consideration social distancing requirements in classes, computer laboratories and around our campuses. The safety, health and well-being of students, staff and the wider community is our key consideration in managing our campus return.

Dear students,
We hope you are safe and well under the current circumstances. We believe that having everyone in isolation can be very stressful and given the continuous negative media we are looking to engage with you on a regular basis.
EET wants you to know that we are thinking of you all in these difficult times and we want to reassure all students that EET is currently still open and classes are still running. However, we are watching all government health notices for any updates and in the event that the government forces a close down of schools, EET has already implemented our virtual classrooms including interactive media platforms to continue your educational plans. This means that your student visa will not be affected and in addition throughout our engagements we ask that should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. While the school may be required to mandatory shut down, trainers, administration and marketing teams will still be active at the school to receive and answer any questions and queries.
For now, the school is running as normal. We understand that even though the school is still open, your health and safety should be the priority and therefore if you prefer to learn from home, you are most welcome and please still email me with any questions or concerns. We are positive that by working together we will be able to continue your studies with as little disruption as possible. Please note that your tuition fees are protected that are directly paid to the School through the Tuition Protection Service as mandated by the Federal Government.
Take care and please make sure you are checking Australian government health warnings for the latest advice at the following web address:
