Complaints about providers

The Quality Assurance Division (QAD) has a process for complaints about providers. People who complain about NZQA-registered providers include students, staff, other providers and members of the public.

Complainants are advised to raise the matter with the provider's management in the first instance. If the matter is not resolved satisfactorily, they may lay a formal complaint through QAD.

QAD cannot receive complaints about events that occurred more than six months ago or about providers who are no longer registered.

When a complaint is received, QAD will contact the provider to explain the nature of the complaint and ask for a response. Throughout the investigation both parties are kept fully informed.
