How To Apply

How to Enroll

1. Complete the Enrolment Form for International Students and post, fax, email or deliver with attached documentation to the above addresses or fax number.
    
2. The college will process your enrolment. If there are entry requirements it will assess your eligibility, and you may be contacted regarding entry requirements for your chosen course. Most courses require IELTS scores of 5.5 or higher.
    
3. It will send you a letter offering you a place once your application has been approved. If you have not yet paid your fees, they are required to be paid immediately you receive this letter. It will advise you if it cannot offer you a place.
    
4. Once you have received the letter of offer, return the Acceptance Form attached with payment. If you accept the offer, but later decide not to attend the course, you must withdraw in writing. Failure to do this may result in fees being charged to you, whether or not you attend classes. If you require accommodation, make sure WelTec has your homestay application form and your arrival details.
    
5. When it has received both your fees and your completed Acceptance Form, it will issue you with a receipt. You will need to use this to apply for your student visa at the nearest New Zealand High Commission, Embassy, Consulate, or Trade New Zealand office with New Zealand Immigration Service facilities to apply for a student visa.
    
6. Insurance
   It is a requirement of the New Zealand Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students that all international students have medical and travel insurance for the duration of their period of study in New Zealand. You will not be able to attend class or obtain a Student ID until you have provided us with evidence of suitable insurance.
