Programme and Enrolment Information
Programme approval and the registration and accreditation of the College
The New Zealand Certificate in Nanny Education is at Level 5 on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework.
The certificate is approved by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority. The New Zealand College of Early
Childhood Education is registered with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority as a Private Training
Establishment and it is accredited to deliver the certificate.
Entry Criteria
Enrolment is subject to availability of student places. Enrolments are accepted on a first come, first served
basis to those who have met the following entry requirements and completed the selection process to the
satisfaction of the College.
Applicants under 20 years of age: NCEA Level 2 or an approved Level 3 or higher early childhood qualification,
or an international equivalent.
Applicants 20 years of age and over: No formal qualifications.
Criteria for all applicants:
•
A good standard of English is required for all applicants. Applicants may be required to complete a
literacy test to the satisfaction of the College.
•
Applicants require three written references from appropriate and relevant referees (such as a Principal,
senior school teacher or employer, not immediate family or relatives). These must be on the College
official referee forms and satisfactory to the College.
•
All applicants are required to be mentally and physically fit to carry out a nannying role and of good
character. The College is guided by the New Zealand Teachers council ‘fit to be a teacher’ criteria to
define ‘of good character.’
•
We require all applicants to complete a police vetting check to the satisfaction of the College. If
a person has committed a criminal offence, his or her character as fit to nanny/teach is brought into
question. The fact that a person has committed an offence does not necessarily mean that he/she is
not of good character. The College will consider on a case-by-case basis how much the offence(s)
impacts upon the person’s character and fitness to nanny/teach.
•
All applicants are required to declare if English is their first or primary language. Applicants who claim to
have English as their first or primary language but whose life history indicates otherwise will be required
to complete an evidenced statutory declaration.
•
Have access to a computer and the internet and possess sufficient IT skills to undertake the on-line
aspects of the programme. This includes the ability to produce Word and PowerPoint documents, send
emails, and use an internet browser such as Internet Explorer.
• Applicants for whom English is not their first or primary language will be required to provide proof that
their English is an average IELTS band score 5.5 or higher in the academic version of the IELTS
assessment.

• IELTS Exemption:
Applicants who have studied in New Zealand for a minimum of two years at secondary school, and

considers English is an alternate language of the student) it reserves the right to require the student to
provide evidence, at their expense, that they meet the IELTS test requirements. Students not meeting
the requirements must do so prior to programme completion.
