Rule ITO015: Restriction on delivery above Level 4

Type:

Rule or condition

An industry training organisation (ITO) may arrange delivery of training at New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) level 5 and above provided both the following are met:

• The volume of funding for training at level 5 and above does not exceed 10% of the ITO’s total volume of training funded by the Industry Training Fund (ITF), unless approved by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC)
• The total funding for training at level 5 and above does not exceed 10% of the ITF's total investment in industry training.

ITOs can apply to the TEC for an exception, to increase the volume of training at level 5 and above beyond 10% of their total training volume. The proposed additional training volume must meet one of the following two criteria to be assessed for an exception:

1. The delivery increases participation of under-represented groups in industry training
2. The delivery addresses industries or industry sub-groups where structured NZQF-based training is relatively new or is expanding into new areas.
