Student Fee Protection Rules 2013 (v5)

11. NZQA approval of Suppliers

Suppliers must be approved in writing by NZQA before operating a Mechanism.
Where the Mechanism being operated is not a standard trust, NZQA must be satisfied the Mechanism provides equivalent protection to a standard trust.
A Supplier approved under Rule 11.1 may not operate or change a Mechanism without NZQA’s written approval.
For the purposes of granting approval under Rules 11.1 and 11.3, NZQA must be satisfied that the Supplier will meet, and continue to meet, its obligations in or under the Act, including under these Rules.
NZQA will take into account any previous performance of a Supplier when deciding whether to grant approval under Rules 11.1 and 11.3.
