Student fees protection

Trust account

How are my fees protected? Your fees are protected in a NZQA approved Trust Fund. You pay your funds directly to the Trust Account who then holds your money until the initial withdrawal period is complete. Fees are then paid in arrears to Ivy's account.

What happens if the institute fails financially? You fees are paid in arrears from the trust fund to Ivy's account. In the case that Ivy fails financially then all tuition fees still held in the trust account will be returned to the student for tuition not yet received.
