For course specific information please see the courses page

NZLS CLE Ltd continues to monitor the ongoing situation regarding COVID-19 following Ministry of Health guidelines to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our staff, customers and stakeholders.

The effect of the change to Alert Level 2 on our programmes is under constant review with health and safety remaining the priority. 

Programmes under alert Level 2

A. In Person programmes; and/or In Person programmes with a live web stream option

All “in person” programmes are under constant review. If you are registered for an in person programme and it needs to be cancelled or postponed as a result of COVID-19 we will:

• Automatically transfer you to the live web stream option (if one exists)
• Contact you by email to advise the change, and, if a transfer is not suitable, or no online option exists, arrange for a refund.
• Advise you of any other arrangements made.

Please call us on 0800 333 111 if you are registered for an in person programme and you have any concerns.

B. Digital programmes (Live web streams and Webinars)

• All digital programmes under Alert Level 2 are continuing as scheduled. 

C. Rationale

Please understand that decisions to cancel or postpone programmes are not taken lightly however the health and safety of our staff, customers and stakeholders needs to remain our priority. Please also be assured that we will always endeavor to create the least disruption and inconvenience by making these decisions in a timely fashion.
