surely there isn't much competition for this award...
ACT is pretty darn small.
there's more than enough competition in ACT, with two universities offering competitve and comprehensive courses in the same field......
so they did preety good.
The award is "Small Registered Training Organisation". I'm not sure if the Universities would be eligible? Guess it depends on the definition of small...?
Anyway, congrats to the AIE.
