Accreditation and Monitoring Fees
The Council does not set a standard fee for carrying out an accreditation review of a New Zealand education provider, or examination provider, but will instead issue an itemised invoice for reimbursement of costs associated with the accreditation review. All such invoices are calculated on a cost-recovery basis only.
