Fee Information
As an apprentice, you earn while you learn and won’t end up with a student loan! Since the New Zealand government is behind getting people into trades, they help subsidise training.
If you are a first-time tertiary learner, you may be able to get up to $12,000 of your fees covered for one year’s study or two years’ training. If you are eligible, we’ll organise payment with the Tertiary Education Commission.
Check if you are eligible by visiting FeesFree.govt.nz.
This apprenticeship doesn’t have a fixed cost because it is based on competency. You will finish your apprenticeship when you complete both on-job and off-job components, are deemed competent by your assessor, and when Etco receives confirmation from NZQA you have completed your apprenticeship. Because of this the cost is worked out per week and covers all your training.
