International Students

Professional IQ offers the New Zealand Certificate in Financial Services (Level 5) to international students, both onshore in New Zealand and offshore. The qualification is NZQA-approved and meets Financial Markets Authority (FMA) requirements for financial advisers.

The enrolment fee for international students is $4,700 + GST. Payment by instalments is available. The course is structured as two modules, which students can enrol in separately, paying for one module at a time.

The course is delivered online. Students have up to 49 weeks to complete the qualification, though it can be finished more quickly. The two-module structure is intended to accommodate visa conditions that restrict continuous study periods to three months at a time.
