Atlantis College of Management

What Atlantis College of Management does

Atlantis College of Management (ACM) is a privately held vocational education provider headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, operating from a single campus at Level 14, 474 Flinders Street in the Melbourne CBD. The institution delivers nationally recognized Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) courses — including Certificate III through Advanced Diploma levels in Information Technology, Hospitality Management, Construction Trades, and a Graduate Diploma of Management — to both international and domestic students. ACM recruits through direct enrollment via its website and JotForm application, supplemented by a global network of registered education agents who certify documents and submit applications on behalf of prospective international students. The college offers monthly intakes commencing on the first Monday of each month, differentiating from traditional semester-based providers.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees ranging from approximately $9,000 to $17,500 AUD per course, plus material fees ($500-$1,500) and a non-refundable $300 application fee. The technology stack is standard and off-the-shelf: a WordPress-based company website, LMS Moodle for online course delivery, and a student portal for accessing materials. ACM has established credit linkage arrangements with Southern Cross University providing up to 50% advanced standing into related undergraduate degrees, which serves as a key value proposition for prospective students evaluating pathway options. The institution maintains AQF, CRICOS, ESOS Act, VET Quality Framework, and Privacy Act compliance, with affiliations displayed alongside ITECA and Victorian Government education initiatives.
