Some migrants pay Immigration New Zealand for English language tuition before they arrive in New Zealand. This is often referred to as 'pre-paid ESOL'. The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) then works with migrants to manage their English language tuition when they arrive. The TEC publishes regional directories of ESOL providers. Migrants can enrol with any of these course providers. It is a good idea to also visit the college or institution you plan to study at before enrolling. The cost of English language tuition varies according to the type and length of the ESOL course.
