IT Programmes

Q: “What’s the difference between “Zero Fees” and “Fees Free”?”

All of our Level 1 & 2 programmes are zero-fees for New Zealanders of all ages as tehy are funded by the government under the Youth Guarantees programme.

This is possible because we are a Private Training Establishment (PTE), and apply for funding from the New Zealand government in order to provide our programmes.

“Fees Free” is the name of a government initiative which provides the first year of your tertiary level education for free.

This doesn’t have an impact on our Level 1 & 2 programmes because those programmes are “zero fees” anyway. But it does have an impact on our Level 3, 5 & 6 programmes.

To be eligible for “Fees Free” for our Level 3, and above programmes:

• You must be a New Zealand citizen or you have lived in New Zealand for at least 3 years while holding a residence class visa
• You must be able to say “Yes” to 1 of the following scenarios:
  • Are you a New Zealander who has recently finished school?
  • Have you done less than half a year of education or training (including tertiary study in any other country)?
• See the full eligibility criteria at FeesFree.govt.nz/faqs.
