The following kinds of provider are exempt from the requirements in sections 28 and 29 and in regulations made under section 30:
(a) a provider that is administered by a State education authority;
(b) any other provider that is entitled to receive funds under a law of the Commonwealth for recurrent expenditure for the provision of education or training, other than one excluded by the regulations from the scope of this paragraph;
(c) any other provider specified in the regulations.
To avoid doubt, any private corporate body established in connection with a provider covered by paragraph (a) or (b) of this section is not itself, by virtue of that connection alone, a provider covered by that paragraph.
