Tēnei te mihi nui ki a koutou katoa.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the proposed fee and levy. We’re now able to share the decisions we have made after considering that feedback. 

The Council has decided to increase the cost of a three-year practising certificate to $464.37 with effect from Monday 11 July 2022, which is equivalent to $154.79 annually. Table 1 below shows the new cost for different certification types. Table 2 and Table 2.1 sets out the proposals we consulted on and the decisions we have made on those proposals.

We look forward to working together, giving effect to Our Code, Our Standards | Ngā Tikanga Matatika, Ngā Paerewa through quality teaching practice and learning for all tamariki and rangatahi.

Proposal

Decisions

1

Set the fee and levy for teachers and holders of LATs (as set out in Tables 1 and 8), to cover the Council’s actual and reasonable operating costs

Agreed to fix the fee and levy for a three-year period

2

Charge the same levy for teachers and for holders of LATs

Subsequent re-consultation on charging a different levy for holders of LATs

3

Charge a higher fee for overseas teachers for registration and their first Provisional Practising Certificate to reflect the additional costs involved in evaluating their applications

Agreed based on the fee reflecting actual and reasonable costs for processing these applications

4

Charge a higher fee for Provisional or Full (Category Two) certificated teachers applying for a Full (Category One) Practising Certificate, to reflect the additional costs involved in evaluating those applications

Further analysis of actual costs related to evaluating these applications resulted in a reduced additional fee

5

Continue to fund the cost of providing conduct and discipline functions collectively from all teachers and holders of LATs

Agreed teachers and holders of LATs should collectively fund these costs

6

Continue to fund the cost of establishing standards for ITE qualifications and approving ITE programmes collectively from all teachers and holders of LATs with ITE providers contributing towards approval, review and monitoring of their programme

Agreed for registered teachers. Not progressed for holders of LATs based on the view that they did not benefit in the same way as teachers from work associated with this function

7

Explore the viability of a ‘buy now pay later’ instalment option for payment of the fee and levy

Decision not to progress as feedback indicated minimal support from teachers and holders of LATs

8

Explore the viability of options to pay the fee and levy by instalment, in regular, small amounts

Agreed to continue to scope viability of options

9

Fix the fee and levy for a three-year period, with an allowance for expected inflation over the period

Agreed to implement this proposal

10

Increase the late fee from $50.00 to $100.00

No change from $50.00
