* Terms and conditions

Which programmes are eligible?

All agriculture and horticulture programmes (L2 – L5).

Does it include vehicles and chainsaw micro-credentials?

No it does not.

Does this include the New Zealand Diploma in Primary Industry Business Management?

No it does not as the learner is enrolled with either Wintec or Ara, not with Primary ITO (but the learner will still receive support from Primary ITO). For more information on the Diploma in Primary Industry Business Management, click here.  

When does this start?

Any agriculture or horticulture programme/micro-credential enrolment that has a start date from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024.

Does this discount apply to non-domestic (non-funded) learners?

This 50% fee reduction only applies to domestic learners. Non-domestic learners are still governed by Government policy. For more information on the different funding policies, visit the Tertiary Education Commission website here. 

NZ Apprenticeships

The 50% off will only apply to the duration of the programme that the learner has enrolled in before 31 December 2024. For example, if a learner enrols in one of our apprenticeships that includes 2 x qualifications ie a level 3 and a level 4 qualification, they will only get 50% discount off the level 3 programme because they will not have started the level 4 part of the programme until after 31 December 2024.
