Getting set up to work with us

Te Kura offers a wide range of courses for dual registered ākonga. Many ākonga access resources and submit their mahi through My Te Kura, our online learning platform.

Dual Provider schools or organisations must agree to our Dual Provider Partnership Agreement (DPPA) which sets out how we would like to work together to support our learners.

    Eligibility

    Ākonga may be eligible for dual tuition with Te Kura through either of these options:

    Each gateway has specific criteria and documentation requirements. Each gateway also has a limit to the number of government-funded courses that can be chosen to support the learning programme for each ākonga.

    Dual ākonga must be re-registered each year. Dual registration applications open in November/December for the following year and remain open until the end of Term 3.

    Fee-paying dual enrolments

    Dual Providers may be able to register domestic and international ākonga with Te Kura on a fee-paying basis if they do not meet the government-funded gateway criteria. The fee is charged to the enrolling school or organisation.

    All ākonga must be:

    Private schools do not have access to government-funded gateways but may access dual tuition through the fee-paying gateway.

    Ambury Park Centre, Odyssey House, and Hohepa School are the only private schools that have retained government-funded access due to the schools' character and role in supporting vulnerable tamariki and rangatahi.
