2022 is your year - don’t miss your chance to study fees free, with the Government covering your fees for a range of programmes.
If you’re thinking about a new career, learning something new, or improving your job prospects, this is your last chance to access the free Targeted Training Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) before it closes.
You don’t need to apply to access the Fund - just enrol in an eligible 2022 programme (see those below), and the Fund will take care of a full year of your programme’s fees until 30 June 2022. So take this opportunity to get yourself ahead – get enrolled now!
If you’re interested in studying courses that aren’t included in the TTAF there may be a different form of funding available to you. Have a look through our full list of programmes, and there will be a link on each programme page discussing how to check if you’re eligible.
If you’re on a Government benefit, you may also be able to get the Training Incentive Allowance (www.ucol.ac.nz/study-at-ucol/fund-your-study/training-incentive-allowance).
