For the purpose of determining under section 233(1)(a) whether a governing member of a private training establishment is a fit and proper person for that position, the Authority must give any weight that it considers appropriate to all of the following matters:
the person’s experience in the provision of education services (for example, any previous involvement in a registered private training establishment); and
whether the person was a governing member of a registered private training establishment that was closed, sold due to insolvency, or taken over; and
whether the person has been convicted of any offence involving fraud, violence, or dishonesty, or any offence under this Act or section 352 of the Immigration Act 2009; and
whether the person is a defendant in proceedings in respect of an offence described in paragraph (c); and
whether the person was adjudicated bankrupt under the Insolvency Act 2006 or the Insolvency Act 1967; and
whether the person is prohibited from being a director or promoter of, or from being concerned or taking part in the management of, a company under any of sections 382, 383, 385, and 386A of the Companies Act 1993; and
whether the person has failed to disclose any material conflict of interest as required under section 232D(2)(c)(i); and
any other matter that the Authority considers relevant.
