They must be working towards a NCEA level 2 qualification or an equivalent or higher qualification.

A young partner enrolled in full-time tertiary education must:

  • be enrolled in a course considered to be 'full-time'
  • regularly attend classes
  • complete assignments and
  • complete other course requirements

Tertiary holidays

You may require a young partner to undertake other activities that work towards NCEA level 2 or an equivalent or higher qualifications during the summer holidays.
