If information on the website is incorrect, registrants will be contacted and alternative options discussed.
Course Fees
Course fees are normally quoted verbally or in writing prior to course registration and/or can be obtained from our website. Course registration or attendance is confirmation that fees have been accepted by the client.

NZQA Credit Registration
As an NZQA accredited Private Training Establishment (PTE), TR Driver Training register NZQA Credits on behalf of the Student. NZQA credit registration is compulsory.
NZQA Credits are based on the credits available on a specified unit standard completed as part of a course. These credits are added to your record of learning held by NZQA. These are your credits and support your evidence of completion of unit standards and qualifications.
There is a cost to deliver the course, register the credits and administer the registration of credits. Direct costs from NZQA are passed on through the specified credit cost.
Where additional costs exist, these are mentioned on the course detail page – (E.G. NZTA Licence fees or costs associated with medical certifications)
Confirmation of Order / Course Registration
All customers will receive a confirmation of their registration via e-mail when payment is received, direct credit requested or on account selected for registration of a course through TR Driver Training website. Customers, following a course payment, will also receive an invoice with their order.
Receipt of the automated ‘receipt of registration’ from the website is not a confirmation of acceptance on a course.
A contact form submitted, onsite request form submitted or an email request sent is not a course registration.
Course registration is not confirmed until payment has been made, and prerequisites (if any) are met and verified.
Attendee Numbers
Where you are making a booking that includes more than one attendee; or booking a course on site, a minimum number of attendees is required. If the number attending changes:
- Additional fees will be charged for any increase in the number of attendees in accordance with the registration costs (advertised or agreed)
- A reduction of the numbers of attendee’s is subject to our cancellation policy or minimum number requirements.
Payment Terms
For clients with approved credit accounts the course fee is invoiced at the completion of each course. Full payment is required no later than the 20th of the month following the date of our invoice. Late or non-payment may incur collection and/or legal fees for which the client accepts full liability for by registering for, or attending, the course.
For clients who do not have an approved credit account, full payment is required on registration for the course. Pre-course or course material will not be handed out until full payment is received.
Online Payment

This is a secure payment gateway through DPS and security certificate verified for your protection. Note – credit card payments incur a 2% surcharge.

Please contact TR Driver Training Services if you wish to apply for a credit account.

- Where notice of cancellation is given at least 5 working days prior to the schedule course start, full payment less $50 is refundable
- Where notice is less than 5 working days and greater than 72 working hours (3 working days) before the course date, 50% of the total course fee is refundable.
- Any postponements or cancellations given with less than 72 working hours’ notice (including non-appearance or non-completion) will result in full course fees being charged.
We are happy to substitute course attendees provided they meet course criteria
TR Driver Training Services Course Cancellation/Abandonment
All practical training is subject to cancellation/abandonment in the event of unsafe or illegal conditions. Where possible the TR Driver Training instructor will make any decision relating to this in consultation with the nominated client representative.
This may be due to trainer availability (sickness bereavement etc…), venue availability or low course attendance for example. TR Driver Training will endeavour to deliver the course in the first instance with course cancellation a last resort.
While we do our very best to provide a minimum of 48 hours’ notice, from time to time the notice may be as little as 24 hours.
We will arrange for an alternative time and date for attendance and where you are not able to attend and return all course materials in original condition, a full refund of payments for the course is provided
Attendance
Where a start time for a training course is provided, this is the actual start time. Times are given to ensure that the learning required for the course can be delivered in the time specified.
TR Driver Training’ Trainers have the right to refuse entry to any attendee to a course that is already underway and the standard cancellation policy applies (see cancellation policy above).
Course Materials and Required Reading
Course material may contain pre-course reading and in some instances course assessments. Materials for pre-work in relation to any courses will be delivered following full payment for the course to ensure you have sufficient time to obtain required knowledge and complete the required assessments.
