Pre-entry Criteria

The first priority is to check out the course content and the pre-entry criteria detailed in the College Information Pack and ensure that you meet the pre-entry criteria for the course you are interested in.

Pre-enrolment Meeting with a Tutor

If you require more information, or have any questions, you are welcome to come in and talk to a tutor. There is no obligation and it's in your best interests and ours to ensure that the course you select is the most suitable for your career plan. We also want to assess that you will have a reasonable chance of sucess on your course. Please phone us in advance to arrange a time with a tutor on (03) 3744-182.

How make an Enrolment Application?

If you have enough information on the course, it's a simple case of completing your personal details on the Enrolment Application form that we send you in the College Information Pack, or you can download an Enrolment Application form from this website. Please be sure to attach the relevant documentation listed on the back page of the Enrolment Application form and return it to us in the mail, or drop it into the College in Sydenham, Christchurch.

Government regulations require that we must sight an original copy of your birth certificate, or passport. Alternatively you can can send us a certified copy signed by a solicitor, or Justice of the Peace. Please do not send us your original documents in the mail. If you cannot provide the document at the time of submitting your enrolment application, we will request that you produce them as soon as possible after the course start date. 

After we process your enrolment application we will send you an enrolment confirmation pack which includes the Electec College Student Information Handbook with instructions on how apply for your student loan and allowance.

Applicants who meet the necessary pre-entry criteria will be enrolled on a first come basis. Enrolments for each course intake will close as soon as the class numbers reach the maximum capacity. When applications exceed class capacity, we may elect to operate a very short waiting list with the applications ranked in the order that they were received.

Student Information Handbook

The College Student Information Handbook provides details on staff credentials, College rules, student withdrawal policy, student fee indemnity protection protection, academic policy, NZQA unit standards and academic assessment procedures.

Please contact our administration office if you wish to view the Student Information Handbook prior to submitting your enrolment application.

Payment of Course Fees

Course fees are due for payment eight working days after the scheduled course start date. At that time we will provide you with an invoice and you will be asked to either provide proof of your student loan application, or pay your course fee within 14 days of start date.

Student Fees Protection

In the unlikely event of Electec College closure due to insolvency, or de-registration, or withdrawal of the New Zealand Qualifications Authority accreditation, all student fees are protected in an trust account administered by an independent Chartered Accountant. This fee protection system is a mandatory requirement by the NZQA for all Tertiary Education Providers.

Full details and conditions under which the Student Indemnity Trust A/c operates are published in the Electec College Student Information Handbook.
