Domestic learner enrolment fees can be found on the relevant qualification/programme pages. For international enrolment fees, please contact us.

Domestic Enrolment Eligibility & Fees

The following are eligible for domestic enrolment fees:

  • All New Zealand citizens and residents (including those on resident visas)
  • Australian citizens/permanent residents
  • Learners on Accredited Employer Work Visa’s (AEWV’s) are eligible for domestic learner enrolment fees, where there is a Sector Agreement in place*.

Accredited Employer Work Visas (AEWV)
Learners on Accredited Employer Work Visa’s (AEWV’s) are considered domestic, and as a result are eligible for domestic enrolment fees. This however only applies where there is a Sector Agreement in place – for Careerforce, there is a Sector Agreement for the care workforce, and as a result, non-domestic learners on an accredited employer work visa/ residence visa enrolling in Careerforce Health & Wellbeing programmes will be exempt from international fees.

*The following programmes however are not eligible for a non-domestic learner subsidy (not on Government ‘green list’, and nor is there a Sector Agreement).  As a result, non-domestic (international) fees will apply.

      • NZC in Cleaning (Level 2)
      • NZC in Cleaning (Level 3) – various specialisations
      • NZC in Pest Operations (Level 3) (Urban Pest Control)
      • NZD in Business – Leadership & Management (Level 5)

All Other Work Visa Types
Enrolments via all other work visa types are considered as non-domestic learners, and will be subject to international enrolment fees. Additionally, they must have appropriate duration on their work visa to complete the programme they are enrolling into. For the NZ Certificate in Health & Wellbeing Level 3, they will require 7 months remaining duration on their work visa (based on analysis of historic average completion time for non-domestic learners).

Training Agreements – Proof of Identity/Eligibility Requirements
For non-domestic learners, and learners on an Accredited Employer Work Visa, a verified ID must be provided with the training agreement, together with a certified copy of the relevant Visa.
