The English for Migrants programme lets migrants attend English language courses, helping them settle into communities and work.
Some migrants must pay English language tuition fees to the Department of Labour (Immigration New Zealand) before arriving in New Zealand as part of their residence requirement. This is known as ‘pre-purchased tuition’.
We administer these pre-purchased tuition payments for Immigration New Zealand.
Migrants who have pre-purchased tuition as part of their residency can only use their pre-purchased tuition for English language courses at approved organisations.
The pre-purchased tuition is intended to cover compulsory student fees, and total amount paid depends on the migrant's level of English. Visit the Immigration New Zealand website for details of English Language requirements.
The TEC pays student fees to approved providers once it receives confirmation of each individual migrant’s enrolment in approved English for Migrants courses.
Information is available for providers and learners.
