How do I enrol in a course?
The Training
Provider who is running the course will show you
how to enrol. Take your passport, and the

along with your settlement pack.

Do I have to pay
extra for any books?
The course

you about any extra costs not included in the
fee before you enroll.

Do I have to use
all the money on one course?

have used all the money you pre-paid.

What is my tuition
expiry date?
It depends whether
you have paid your tuition in New Zealand or
overseas. For migrants who have paid
Immigration New Zealand (in New Zealand) on or
after 31 March 2005, you will have five years to
use your entitlement. For migrants who have
paid Immigration New Zealand (overseas) on or
after 31 September 2004, you will have five
years to use your entitlement.
The expiry date is not related to your arrival
date in New Zealand (example: If you paid
Immigration New Zealand (overseas) for your
English tuition fee on 15 October 2004 but
arrived in New Zealand later, you expiry date
will be five years after the payment of your
English tuition fee which will be 15 October
2009 and NOT five years after your arrival date
in New Zealand). If you are unsure about when
your tuition expires please contact English for
Migrants at the TEC freephone, 0800 601 301, or
email
servicecentre@tec.govt.nz.

I don't like the course. What should I do?
Discuss any
problems with the training provider first. If
this does not solve the problem, call English
for Migrants at the TEC on 0800 601 301. If you
leave a course, you may lose some of your fees.
