The provider-based: extramural mode of delivery will remain for 2025 and will be funded at the same rate as the provider-based mode.
Subject to outcomes of the consultation on the 2025 Funding Determinations, the Minister for Tertiary Education and Skills has signalled that the provider-based: extramural mode for funding under the Delivery at Levels 3–7 (non-degree) on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework and all industry training (DQ3-7) mechanism will remain for 2025. A significant change for 2025 would be that the provider-based: extramural mode will be funded the same as provider-based delivery in 2025.
It had previously been agreed in 2023 that the extramural mode would change to “provider-based: asynchronous” from 2025, following consultation with providers and other organisations.
For more information, see the Ministry of Education’s consultation documents.

For 2025, for the Single Data Return (SDR) this means that providers must use the existing values for the Intramural/Extramural Attendance field (1–4). Work-based data submissions will use values 1–2 in the Intramural/Extramural Attendance field (in the new work-based solution that will replace the Industry Training Register [ITR]).
This is instead of the requirements that were signalled in the Data Specifications published under the Data System Refresh programme. This will be updated in the next version of both specifications, along with updates to the validation rules.
