Student Information Attestation

Under the Education Amendment Act 2011 (section 46(1)(a)(ii)), all private training establishments (PTEs) are required to satisfy NZQA by 29 February 2012 that they are providing prospective students with the following written information:

• The total costs and other financial commitments associated with the programme or training scheme for which the student seeks enrolment
• The cost of fees charged for student services provided by the establishment
• Any material conflicts of interest of any of the governing members of the establishment
• Any interests that any governing member of the establishment has in organisations in the education or immigration sector that provide goods or services to tertiary students.

To meet this requirement, PTEs must submit a signed copy of the Student Information Attestation (PDF, 25KB) form to NZQA by 29 February 2012.
