Student fees are protected at all times by either one of two NZQA approved fee protection mechanisms. This first method is by using trust accounts held with the Public Trust [www.publictrust.co.nz and then click on Fee Protect]. The second method is by the use of a Bank Bond with the BNZ bank. In this case, the Public Trust acts as Trustee for the Bond document, and is separately contracted for that purpose also. At all times, students fees will be covered by one or other of these mechanisms.
