Secondary and Tertiary Providers of NZIM Qualifications
Many NZIM qualifications are offered by approved secondary and tertiary providers. These providers offer the programmes independently under an agreement with NZIM. They need to be accredited separately to offer the programmes and can receive government funding and student fees and allowances.

Becoming a provider of NZIM qualifications
The Agreement
If you want to become a provider of NZIM qualifications you need to
- be an approved training provider
- show that you have the ability and resources to offer our programmes. (this is normally shown through your accreditation scope with NZQA)
- sign an agreement with NZIM that ensures that you meet our registration, moderation and other quality assurance requirements
- pay an annual registration fee
In return NZIM agrees to resource and support the qualification and your teaching and assessment processes, maintain an academic record, process applications for credit transfer, and provide students with results and certificates.
While all agreements have many common elements they all have requirements that are individual to the qualification. All agreements have been approved by NZQA.

Becoming an accredited provider
Your agreement with NZIM does not enable you to access EFTS funds or have the qualification listed on your NZQA web page. You need to separately gain accreditation to provide the programme.
For schools providing the CIM or CSBM that accreditation is granted based on the list of providers.
For tertiary providers of our certificates and diplomas application needs to be made separately to your approval and accreditation body. Where the qualification uses components from unit standards, the NZ Diploma in Business or other approved qualifications, the provider needs to be accredited to teach those other qualifications. Your agreement with NZIM should be sufficient to gain accreditation, as it is given only after you have met other accreditation requirements. However NZIM will write a letter to support your application if you wish.
Provider information
At the beginning of each year NZIM sends all providers a provider information form for each of the qualifications they are offering that year. These forms ensure that our files and databases are up-to-date, and that any mail-outs we make go to the right people. Please return the forms by 30 April.

Moderation
NZIM has a national moderator and assessment advisor, Pam Mundell, mundell@ihug.co.nz.
Moderation for the CertMgt and CSBM will be undertaken at least every three years, and whenever a new or changed assessment is developed. NZIM require pre-assessment moderation for any new papers that providers are delivering, and recommend pre-assesment moderation for any assessments that have been significantly changed. Following is a link to further details on NZIM Moderation.
Moderation of the NZDipBus papers is underatken by NZQA, and providers of the NZIM DipMgt are required to assure NZIM that they are part of this process. Following is a link to NZQA moderation requirements regarding the NZDipBus.
Reporting student results
All registered providers agree to report student results to NZIM, and following is a link to more detailed forms and other information on reporting results http://www.nzim.co.nz/Site/providers/Provider_forms.aspx. These results may be reported at any time either using the format supplied by NZIM for the qualification or on your own form. All results should include the name of the provider, each student's full name and address, the student's NZQA NSN number where available, paper numbers and the grade. NZIM has agreed to passing grades of A+, A, B+, B and C. Where the students have been granted a paper through credit or recognition of competence, the grade will be recorded as 'Y'. Fail grade is 'D'. Fails will not be recorded on student records, but will be recorded for statistical purposes.
Apart from the Small Business Entrepreneurs Certificate the registration of each student paper will cost $30 (inc GST). Following is the link to more detailed fee information http://www.nzim.co.nz/Site/providers/Course_Fees.aspx. You may include a cheque for that amount with your results sheet, or we will invoice you. Results may be sent electronically to Anne Marie Nicholls at nziminc@nzim.co.nz .
When results are recorded the student receives in the mail a Statement of Achievement recording the papers passed. Where students have completed the qualification they receive a certificate and a record of the qualification results in the mail.
Where requested results may be sent to the institution for distribution.
For student registration forms check under the specific qualification here.
