Fees-Free is a funding scheme provided by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC), which can allow you to get one year of tertiary study or two year’s training up to the value of $12,000.
All NZ Certificate in English Language programmes are eligible for zero fees programmes so you are not required to pay a tuition fee. However, NZIE is required to register your programme of study when you enrol. This means that by enrolling onto this programme may mean you’re ineligible for fee-frees in the future if you haven’t previously undertaken more than 60 credits (half a year of equivalent full-time tertiary education, 0.5 EFTS) at Level 3 or above on the NZQF – New Zealand Qualifications Framework. Please contact our course advisors to find out more.
To check if you meet the requirements, visit the New Zealand Government’s Fees-Free website and enter your National Student Number (NSN).
If you do not have an NSN, contact our Course Advisors for more information.
