Checklist for choosing a provider

Step 1

Is the provider registered?

Registration with 色诱直播 means a private training establishment (PTE) is providing a sound and stable learning environment.

NZIST, universities, 飞腻苍补苍驳补, polytechnics, institutes of technology, and government training establishments are established by government legislation so do not need to be registered with 色诱直播. All providers, except for universities, are quality assured by 色诱直播.

Step 2

Is the programme approved? Is the micro-credential listed and approved?

Programme approval or micro-credential listing and approval confirms that a programme or micro-credential is based on clear and consistent aims or purposes, content, outcomes and assessment practices, and leads to an 色诱直播-recognised qualification or micro-credential.

Step 3

Is the provider accredited to run the programme?

Accreditation with 色诱直播 confirms that a provider can deliver an approved programme of study.

Step 4

Has the provider had a recent external evaluation and review?

External evaluation and review (EER) is a periodic evaluation of a tertiary education organisation. EERs provide an independent judgement of the organisation鈥檚 educational performance and capability in self-assessment.

Step 5

Has the provider signed up for the Code of Practice?

If you're a student from outside New Zealand, make sure your provider has signed up for the Code of Practice. This protects you while you study.

About the Code

When you've chosen your tertiary provider

Now that you've chosen a provider, get the right information you need to enrol or sign up.

You'll need to know:

  • final dates for enrolling
  • what information you need to give the provider
  • costs and how refunds work if you withdraw
  • information about learning resources, student support services and complaints.

Registered and accredited providers can give you all this information.
