FAQs

Applications for reimbursement of training fees can only be submitted by learners, via the IRD, once they have completed an eligible qualification and a certificate has been issued. The TEC haven't confirmed the reimbursement process yet, but we expect that they will request evidence of fee payment.

• The IRD will only reimburse learners directly – employers cannot claim the entitlement. We recommend that employers and learners agree on how fees will be paid before enrolling to enable a smooth reimbursement process
• Competenz no longer administers the Fees Free fund. Any queries about the fund should be directed to the TEC (Tertiary Education Commission).
