Rule SAC014: Qualifications - PTEs - NZQA approval

Type:

Rule or condition

Private training establishments require approval by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) for all qualifications.

Qualifications offered by distance delivery require NZQA approval of distance delivery.

Qualifications leading to registration as a teacher must be approved by the New Zealand Teachers' Council before being considered by NZQA.

Note: Before 2005, private training establishments (PTEs) required only appropriate unit standard accreditation for national qualifications, and did not require additional NZQA approval for the qualification. PTEs now require NZQA approval for national qualifications.
