Note about Fees Free: The Government has confirmed that final-year Fees Free will finish at the end of December 2026.

Whatever the case, we’re always here to answer your questions – and perhaps even to welcome you to our ITC whanau!

ITC to remain Fees Free in 2024!

Even with planned changes to the Fees Free Program, ITC is remaining Fees Free in 2024!

The Fees Free program offers a huge leg up for first time learners in New Zealand, but it is set to change as the government has decided to adapt the policy. Don’t panic, ITC still offers Fees Free to their learners!

Until now, the program has helped students to pay for the first year of their studies. With the new policy, Fees Free will cover the final year of a student’s qualifications, which often means the third year for university students undertaking a standard bachelor’s degree.

This has made some people nervous that potential students might be put off from starting a qualification, but the good news for ITC students is that it largely won’t change anything!
