All fees are for 2011 enrolments. Part-time students – fees for the second year of study are subject to change. (Part-time / full-time status changes during study will result in fees being adjusted accordingly.
Fees as listed are provided students qualify for the funding subsidy which is available, with a few exceptions, to NZ citizens and residents. This includes Australian citizens living in NZ who qualify with minimum residency requirements.
Additional Costs
Certificate students receive a kit with a selection of materials with which to get started. Diploma and Honours students receive a $200 credit to buy materials ($100 per year for part-time). This can only be used in our materials shop and will not be credited to a student’s materials account until full payment of fees has been received. Students will also need to budget for purchasing any materials beyond the credit that they first receive, dependent on the type and scale of work they choose to do. The range of material costs is typically between $NZ10 and $NZ50 per week for full-time students (amounts may vary in other countries).
NB: If students receive a full scholarship they will be required to purchase all materials themselves. Students studying overseas do not receive a starter kit or a materials credit.
