A question our admissions team is hearing more and more every day when talking to potential students is some version of: "I'm in the Philippines / the UAE / Nepal — can I actually enrol?" For the RII60520 Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design, the answer for most people is yes. The course is delivered 100% online through live classes, so where you sit while you study does not change the qualification you graduate with.
One qualification, wherever you are
Every student — in Sydney or Singapore — completes the same nationally recognised training, sits the same project-based assessments and graduates with the same RII60520 Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design. There is no "international version" or "online version" of the certificate. What you receive is:
| AQF 6 Australian Qualifications Framework level 6 Advanced Diploma — one step below a bachelor degree, above a Diploma and Certificate IV. |
NRT Nationally Recognised Training Listed on Australia's National Register (training.gov.au) and issued under the NRT logo. |
ASQA Government-regulated provider Pegasus International College is registered with the Australian Skills Quality Authority — RTO 46222. |
Because every Australian qualification sits on the AQF, employers and qualification-recognition bodies overseas have a clear reference point for what an Advanced Diploma means in their own system — it is the same framework Australia itself uses to assess foreign credentials.
Who can study with us from overseas
- Working engineers and drafters abroad — civil, structural and architectural professionals in the Gulf, South Asia and South-East Asia adding an Australian credential and Revit/AutoCAD fluency to their CV.
- Career changers — people with no design background who want a structured, industry-taught route into drafting, studied around a full-time job.
- New arrivals and temporary residents in Australia — partner, skilled, graduate and working-holiday visa holders whose visa conditions allow study, upskilling for the local design market.
- Australians outside the capitals — regional and remote students, FIFO workers and parents for whom a campus course was never practical.
How live classes work across time zones
Classes are live and trainer-led on Microsoft Teams — not recordings. Classes are usually held on weekdays in the evening from 7:00pm, and on weekends in the afternoon from 12:00pm, Melbourne Standard Time (Australian Eastern Time). These times are chosen for people who work, and they land well across our main overseas regions:
Class times shown are the current timetable in Australian Eastern Standard Time and are subject to change — they shift by an hour during NSW/VIC daylight saving (October–April) and vary by intake. Contact the college for the current schedule before enrolling. Sessions are also recorded for revision, but attendance at the live class is part of the course.
What you need
- A Windows laptop or PC that can run AutoCAD and Revit (both are Windows-only; software access is included in your fees).
- Reliable internet and a webcam for live classes.
- English at a level to follow technical instruction — our entry requirements page sets out how we check this.
- Everyone completes a short Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital (LLND) skills check before enrolling
Who is eligible
Pegasus enrols domestic students and overseas-based learners studying from their home country. Pegasus International College does not currently enrol students who hold an Australian Student visa (subclass 500). If you are in Australia on another visa, check that its conditions permit study — our admissions team can point you to where to confirm this, but cannot give migration advice.
Graduates who later want their skills recognised in Australia can apply for a skills assessment as a Civil Engineering Draftsperson through Engineers Australia or VETASSESS. That is a separate process run by those bodies, with its own criteria — the diploma and the project portfolio you build during it are what several of our graduates have used to support their application.

Frequently asked questions
Is the certificate different if I study from overseas?
No. Same AQF level 6 Advanced Diploma, same testamur with the Nationally Recognised Training logo, issued by the same ASQA-registered RTO.
Do I need to come to Australia at any point?
No. Classes, assessments and support are all delivered online.
Can I study on a Student visa (subclass 500)?
No — Pegasus is not CRICOS-registered, so we cannot enrol subclass 500 holders.
Is the software really included from overseas?
Yes. Complimentary AutoCAD and Revit access is included for the full duration of your enrolment — from your first class to your final assessment — wherever you log in from. There is nothing extra to buy or license.
