Hamilton, New Zealand, 29 March,2019:
By Gurbir Singh:
One more private training establishment (PTE) of New Zealand has lost its accreditation of the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), and can longer enroll students in its Business Diploma courses.
NZQA has withdrawn the accreditation for Auckland-based New Zealand Institute of Technical Training Limited (NITT) to provide New Zealand Diploma in Business Accounting, Administration and Technology (Level 5 and 6).This decision was taken earlier this month.
Majority of the 67 students affected are from India.
NZQA’s withdrawal of accreditation means that NITT can no longer deliver these programmes to students. NZQA took this action because of serious issues identified with NITT’s assessment practices in the Business Diplomas and some students marked 'pass' should not have passed.
NIIT was first registered as PTE in 1998 and its current managing director is Kulbir Singh. The institute is believed to be operating from Queens St., Auckland and Ronwood Ave., Manukau.
In 2016, 80% of student visa applications sponsored by NITT were declined by Immigration NZ.
