With an ATNZ apprentice, you get our exceptional service – for less!

30 September 2020

No apprenticeship fees

That’s right, there are no fees on apprenticeships right now, under the Government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF), which aims to provide COVID-19 relief and addressing skills shortages in targeted growth sectors. This remains in place until 31 December 2022.

Already have an apprentice? Great news! Their fees will be automatically covered from 01 July 2020 to 31 December 2022: there is no paperwork to complete.

Are your apprentice’s fees currently funded by the Government’s two-year fees-free scheme? Their fees are automatically covered from 01 July 2020 to 31 December 2022 by TTAF too. Their entitlement to fees-free will be paused, ready to resume at the end of the TTAF scheme if needed.

No ATNZ management fees

We’re utilising the Government’s Group Training Scheme Funding, part of the Government’s Budget 2020, to waive our management fees until further notice, subject to continued Government support.

Apprentice Boost monthly payment

Covering eligible apprentices in their first 24 months of training, this payment assists employers like ATNZ to keep existing apprentices and employ new ones – and we will pass the full payment onto you. Access to this initiative ends on 31 December 2022. You can find out more by visiting the Work and Income NZ website.
