Education New Zealand defines Accreditation as:
“Before a specialist agent is accredited he or she undertakes training by Education New Zealand and is tested on the matters covered.  Specialist agents are required to act in accordance with Education New Zealand’s Code of Conduct for specialist agents and also must agree to adhere to the policies and procedures of Education New Zealand and the New Zealand Ministry of Education Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students”.

Accreditation does not authorise the agent to make any representation on behalf of Education New Zealand or to enter any agreement or undertaking on its behalf.”
