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

NZ Apprenticeships
The 50% off will only apply to the duration of the programme that the learner has enrolled in before 31 December 2025. For example, if a learner enrols in one of our apprenticeships that includes 2 x qualifications i.e. 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 2025.
