Whether you are developing a Micro-credential, Certificate, Diploma, Degree or Post-Graduate programme, AQC can guide you through the approval and accreditation application process required by NZQA.  This also includes managing the Requests for Further Information (RFI’s) that are required by NZQA on evaluation of your application.  We can also assist you with securing TEC funding eligibility and funding approval (e.g. Student Achievement Component or SAC funding, Youth Guarantee funding etc.) if required.

The design of your application(s) will be unique to meet your needs, but will be structured around NZQA rules and criteria for approval and accreditation and if relevant TEC funding rules/conditions and/or Student Loans and Allowances/StudyLink requirements.

We provide services both to organisations that are experienced in programme applications and to those that are new to this process.  We adapt our approach to meet your needs, the time that your internal staff can commit to the application and the conditions of the qualification that the  programme leads towards. We have a sound understanding from our clients successful applications as to what NZQA requires, and can guide you through the application process, RFI’s, panel evaluations (for degree-related programmes only) and consent to assess process (if required).
