What is the commission for agents?

15% of the paid tuition fees. Please note that if a student ends their contract early, agents are expected to refund the relevant portion of the commission. Commission is only payable once the agent has supplied all of the required documentation for the student and the student has arrived in New Zealand and begun studying at our school.
