Fee Protection for Students
The New Zealand Government requires that all private training establishments registered with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), have some form of protection for fees paid to them in advance. These requirements are outlined in the New Zealand Qualifications Authority Student Fee Protection Policy.
Kalandra Education Group uses the Public Trust.
Fee Protect
Fee Protect is a student fee trust account into which you deposit your fees. The Public Trust then pays Kalandra Education Group on a fortnightly basis. This ensures that your money is safe and can be returned to you either in full or a portion in instances such as where the provider is unable to complete the course due to closure, insolvency or loss of NZQA accreditation.
Student Fees Include:
- Course Tuition Fees
- Accommodation Costs (if applicable)
- Living Expenses (if applicable)
- Travel and Health Insurance Premiums if arranged through Kalandra (if applicable)
Fee Protect means that the last thing you will need to worry about is what happens to your fees.
Kalandra Education Group uses a Standard Trust, where each student’s fees are paid into an individual student trust account by the student.
