The chief executive of the Canberra Institute of Technology has rejected "offensive" allegations that unqualified students pulled apart hire electric vehicles, which were revealed in a whistleblower disclosure.
On Wednesday, the ACT Legislative Assembly heard a public interest disclosure from a CIT staff member alleged the Electric Vehicle Centre of Excellence was allowing students to pull apart and put together private hire cars from companies such as Hertz, without the businesses' knowledge.
CIT chief executive Margot McNeill told ABC Canberra on Thursday only one rental car had been used by the training centre.
