For the full learner eligibility requirements, see the DQ1-2 funding conditions for the relevant year.
Limit on prior qualification achievement
The prior qualification achievement limit is to ensure that government funding is targeted to learners with no or low prior qualification achievement, and to enable learners to progress to higher-level qualifications.
In practice this means you can only enrol a learner in DQ1-2 funded provision if they do not hold a qualification at Level 2 or higher on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF) (that was achieved in the last five years) unless:
- the learner is enrolling in an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) or a te reo Māori qualification, or
- your organisation has not reached the funding condition threshold for enrolments of learners with prior qualifications.
