2025 CONNEXIS PRICING STRUCTURE

Key points to note:

• Connexis manages and is responsible for paying third-party fees for external contract assessment and off-job training where applicable. Some programmes include additional costs which need to be paid directly by the employer to the third-party provider. Check with your Customer Service Account Manager about how your programme fee is structured or email us below.
• Our pricing structure allows fees to be paid over two years, where the programme is longer than 15 months and where fees are $3000 or more.
• We have made provision for those employers that operate an in-house assessment model. If an additional external assessor is needed to assist your in-house assessor, additional fees will apply.

Exclusions/exceptions:

• Incidental costs such as travel and accommodation for block courses are not covered by the fees paid to Connexis.

Domestic vs International Learners

For a learner’s enrolment to be eligible for a subsidy through the Tertiary Education Commission’s (TEC) Unified Funding System, a learner must be either a Domestic Student or an Australian citizen/resident who currently resides in New Zealand.

“Domestic Student” means a New Zealand citizen or resident.

All other learners are categorised as a non-domestic or international student.

Pricing for International Students

Please do note that non-domestic/international trainees who are not eligible for TEC funding can still enrol and complete on-job training and receive a New Zealand Qualification through Connexis. Connexis will need evidence of the trainee's eligibility to study in New Zealand, i.e. passport and relevant visa. International trainees will need to enter into our standard Training Agreement, along with their employer.

Fees Free

Trainees entering their final-year of study from the beginning of January 2025, and who have not received the first-year Fees Free entitlement, may be eligible for the new scheme. To be eligible, Connexis trainees will need to be enrolled in training programmes at Level 3 or above or the equivalent of 120 credits or more on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework and provide their IRD number at the time of enrolment.

Note: For Work-based Learning 'final-year’ includes the last 24 months of training or up to $12,000 including GST.

To check if you’re eligible for Fees Free, go to the Fees Free website and refer to the Work-Based Learning eligibility criteria (this can be found on the ‘Starting Study in 2025?’ tab).
