Am I eligible for an exemption from student fee protection?
This section answers these questions
|
A private training establishment is eligible for exemption from the student fee protection policy if:
- the course is of five days, or a maximum of 50 hours duration or less ; or
- total student fees amount to $500 or less; or
- there are no course fees, eg courses are completely funded by Government
- the course is completely funded by third parties, eg a business.
Granting an exemption
If you believe you have grounds for exemption, write with details to:
Deputy Chief Executive
Quality Assurance Division,
New Zealand Qualifications Authority
PO Box 160,
Wellington 5011
A written exemption ensures that all parties know that an exemption has been granted. For exemptions on a student basis you will also need to keep records of who is exempt.
A student fee protection mechanism must be in place until NZQA provides written approval of exemption.
Course hours include all directed teaching, including distance teaching. Consecutive enrolments in modules are treated as an enrolment in a single course.Page updated: 07 August 2007
