FEE PROTECTION
Section 236A of the Education Act 1989 requires student fees (over $500 in total) to be placed in an approved trust account to provide security for the repayment of prepaid fees in the event programmes are terminated early. Accordingly, student fees paid in advance are held in the AEI Public Trust account. Fees are drawn down after commencement in stages as the course is completed.
In the event a programme is terminated and alternative tuition services are not provided, the student is entitled to a refund of prepaid student fees pro rata for the balance of the course based upon the number of full weeks required to complete the programme. This arrangement has been accepted by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority as meeting the requirements of the Education and Training Act 2020 and the Student Fee Protection Rules 2025
