The Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) is a vocational education provider in Canberra, the Australian Capital Territory, and is one of a system of TAFEs. Qualifications offered by CIT range from certificate to degree level. CIT has four campuses across Canberra, located in Bruce, Reid, Woden and Fyshwick. CIT also has two learning centres in Tuggeranong Town Centre and Gungahlin which are primarily for students studying via flexible or distance learning.
CIT was founded in 1928 and since that time it has been known under a number of different names. It has been a statutory authority since 4 January 1988 under Canberra Institute of Technology Act 1987.
Courses are offered in these fields:
Qualifications include certificates I to IV, diploma and advanced diploma. Qualifications in these categories are managed by the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) which is the national set of standards.
CIT is also accredited to deliver graduate certificates, graduate diplomas and bachelor's degrees. Students in these courses may be eligible to receive FEE HELP (formerly HECS) in the same way university students can.
Some courses at CIT can be undertaken via Flexible Learning where students do not have to study according to a semester-based timetable.
In 2009 CIT had 26,941 student enrolments. Compared to the other education institutions in the ACT (University of Canberra, Australian National University, Australian Catholic University and the University of NSW at the Australian Defence Force Academy) CIT is the largest by student numbers.
