Education Centre Australia (ECA) is a private institution, not a public university. It operates as a vocational education and training provider, offering courses in fields like business, hospitality, and English language programs.
Unlike public universities, which receive government funding, ECA is independently owned and relies on student fees. It is registered with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), ensuring compliance with national education standards. While it provides accredited qualifications, its scope is more specialized compared to public universities, which offer broader academic degrees and research opportunities.
