As outlined under Quality Control, the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Care was introduced to establish standards for the education, care and welfare of international students.

It is a requirement of the New Zealand government that New Zealand education providers must be a signatory to the Code of Practice to enrol international standards.  

The Code of Practise also outlines standards required of recruitment agents.  Recruitment, financial and contractual dealings with international students are to be done ethically and responsibly.

Students must receive comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date information – before making commitment.
