Programmes funded through the ILN Refugee English Fund must be delivered fees-free and lead to a recognised ESOL qualification at level 3 or above on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF).
Tertiary education organisations (TEOs) and programmes must comply with ILN Refugee English funding conditions, as well as Student Achievement Component (SAC) funding conditions.
