Policies and Criteria for the Ongoing Registration of Private Training Establishments

1 September 2009

Pursuant to section 253(3) of the Education Act 1989, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority, having undertaken the consultation required by section 252(2) and having established policies and criteria in respect of the registration of private training establishments pursuant to section 253(1)(ca), publishes the criteria.

For the sake of completeness, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority also publishes the policies that complement the criteria.

The policies and criteria, which are described as the Policies and Criteria for the Ongoing Registration of Private Training Establishments 1 September 2009, take effect from 1 September 2009.

Compliance with these policies and criteria is a condition of registration for all registered private training establishments.

The policies and criteria replace The Quality Assurance Standard for Private Training Establishments, Government Training Establishments and Wananga (QA Standard One), published in the New Zealand Gazette, 7 February 2003, No. 11, page 302.

Criterion One: Governance and Management

Governance and management functions are distinct, support academic integrity and are undertaken in the best interests of the private training establishment (PTE) and its learners.

Policies for Governance and Management

Goals and purposes

1.1 The primary focus of the PTE’s activities must be the achievement of its goals and purposes relating to education and training.

1.2 The PTE contributes positively to the goals of the Tertiary Education Strategy and the objectives of tertiary education in the Education Act 1989.

Ownership

1.3 The body corporate status of the PTE or its governing body must be current and the organisation compliant with all legal requirements.

1.4 The conduct of the PTE’s officers and directors must not be likely to bring the PTE into disrepute nor conflict with its educational goals and purposes.

1.5 Arrangements with shareholders, trust beneficiaries, related companies and other bodies must not conflict with the PTE’s educational focus or be incompatible with its education and training goals and purposes.

1.6 The PTE incorporates relevant principles of the Treaty of Waitangi into its culture and activities.

Change of ownership

1.7 Where ownership is changed as a result of a sale or transfer of the PTE’s assets or operating activities to a body that is not a PTE registered under the Education Act 1989, the new owner must apply for new registration and, where applicable, accreditation.

1.8 Where ownership of the enterprise is changed as a result of a sale or transfer of shares, the purchaser or transferee must apply to have the PTE’s current registration confirmed under the new ownership.
