Common questions

What is NZQA Category 1, and why does it matter?
Category 1 is the highest rating NZQA awards to private training establishments. It means NZQA has the highest confidence in our educational performance and self-assessment. Fewer than 10% of providers reach it — so your qualification carries real credibility with employers and further education.
Can you train our whole team at our workplace?
Yes — on-site delivery is one of our most popular options. We bring the tutor and all resources to your workplace anywhere in New Zealand, issue a single group invoice, and send you completion reports automatically as learners finish.
How do I pay?
After you enquire and we confirm your place, you'll receive a secure online payment link — pay by card in a couple of clicks, no account needed. For group and employer bookings we issue a single invoice with flexible payment terms.
What if a learner doesn't pass first time?
Every learner gets a free re-sit. We're invested in your success and our tutor support continues until you achieve your unit standards.
Is ITS ACE funded?
Yes. We deliver ACE (Adult and Community Education) funded programmes, so many of our foundation and community courses are free or subsidised for eligible learners. Ask us which programmes you may qualify for.
How quickly will I hear back?
You'll get an instant confirmation email, and a team member will respond personally within one business day. For anything urgent, call us on 06 357 0744.
