CCEB is delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted as a Finalist in the StudyTravel Star Awards 2026 – Vocational College category
The StudyTravel Star Awards are among the most prestigious awards in the international education industry, recognising excellence in service and partnership across agencies, educators, industry associations and service providers worldwide.
The 2026 finalists were announced in early August, marking an exciting milestone for CCEB and our entire community in Cairns.
Celebrating Excellence in International Education
Now in their 20th edition, the StudyTravel Star Awards are an annual highlight of the international education industry. The winners will be announced at an exclusive Greatest Showman-themed gala dinner in London on 5 September 2026, held during the ST Alphe UK 2026 conference.The 2026 awards feature 25 categories, celebrating organisations across the international education sector, including English, French, German, Italian and Spanish language schools, vocational colleges, education agencies, industry associations and specialist service providers.
What makes the StudyTravel Star Awards particularly meaningful is that they are partner-voted awards. Schools vote for their partner agencies, while agencies vote for their education partners. Finalists are selected based on the organisations receiving the highest number of votes during the voting period.
A Proud Achievement for CCEB and Cairns
We are particularly proud to be recognised as a finalist in a global category, especially as a smaller education provider based in the regional city of Cairns.
This recognition is not only a significant achievement for CCEB, but also an opportunity to showcase Cairns as a world-class destination for international education.
We believe this nomination puts Cairns further on the international education map and highlights the quality, dedication and opportunities available within our local community.
We are incredibly proud of our students, staff, education partners and industry partners who have helped make this achievement possible.
Thank You to Our Partners and Students
This achievement would not have been possible without the continued support of our partner agents, industry partners, and, most importantly, our students.
We sincerely thank all of our partner agents around the world for their trust, support and ongoing partnership with CCEB. We are equally grateful to our students, past and present, who bring our campus to life and continue to make our community so diverse, vibrant and international.
This nomination belongs to all of us. Thank you for being part of the CCEB journey and for helping us share the best of Cairns with the world.
