A. The Institute is registered as a Private Training establishment with New Zealand Qualifications Authority under the Education Act 1989 and subsequent amendments. Some NZIBS courses stand outside the NZQA accredited/approved selection of training courses. Under present government guidelines only our Freelance Journalism course matches the criteria for WINZ grants or student loans. However, we offer extended time payment options to help students get started. Please ask the Registrar for details.
