Period of Inactivity from 05/March/2022

 

We are sorry to inform you that with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the borders being closed, SLEC will not be accepting any enrolments until it is clear when the borders are open for International students. Therefore, SLEC will teach our current students until 4 March 2022, when classes will temporarily close.  

 

SLEC intends to be back to activity once New Zealand borders are announced to be reopening.  

​

Your student's academic progress is our top priority. We will work with you to ensure that your student will still meet their academic goals by 4 March 2022 or transit to another ESOL provider. 

 

Please note the following class changes: 

 

1.     From now to 17 December 2021, all classes will remain as they are. 

​

​

​

2.     For online students - If your student cannot attend classes in the offered timetables, they will have the option to keep the remaining fees protected and keep their scholarship or ask for a refund of the unused portion of their fees. Their scholarship will not be held if they choose to be refunded. 
 

Refunds: 

1.     All your student funds are kept with the Public Trust and are safe. However, if the student wishes to get a refund of the fees, please contact us at admissions@slec.ac.nz.

​

2.     SLEC will work with you on claiming back any commissions that have been paid to you in advance in the event of a refund.
